Our news partners at Dakota News Now got invited to an epic "Swiftie" Super Bowl Party in Sioux Falls! As a Kanas City Chiefs fan and a fellow "Swiftie," Courtney Sorsen of Sioux Falls appreciates everything that Taylor Swift has done for the game. Courtney's daughter is a "Swiftie" and she sees how excited her daughter gets when she sees Taylor on screen. Even if it's only for a few seconds. Courtney also notices that her daughter is spending more time with her grandpa in front of the TV during football season.

“More younger girls like my daughter, she’s a Swiftie and she started to watch football more because of Taylor and I like that because we get to share that time together and she can spend that time with her grandpa."

Looks like the Sioux Falls Taylor Swift-themed Super Bowl parties helped the Kanas City Chiefs bring home the win! They won in a thrilling overtime.
