Xavier Worthy is new to the NFL. His name is not as famous as any rookie, or like, Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, but you probably know him from the viral height comparison video that circulated on X. The height comparison happened between Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce's billionaire pop singer cum girlfriend, Taylor Swift, and the Chiefs rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy. The WR is recorded giggling over the fact that Taylor Swift is taller than him. He stands tall at 5 feet 11 inches, and she is 5 feet 10 inches!
But the magic of heels. Especially the magic of a billionaire pop star's heels! Taylor Swift looked taller than the wide receiver, and WR is heard saying, "I just met her. There's a video going viral right now where I'm like, 'dang she's tall, she's taller than me,'". The WR shared this height confession in an interview with Alec Nolan. Anyway, coming back to what we're here for. Have you got a gist of this WR? Not yet? Hold onto your seats- we're about to enter the world of Xavier Glenn Worthy!
