At least for one night, San Francisco 49ers All-Pro fullback Kyle Juszczyk wasn't the biggest star in his family.
All it took was pop superstar-turned-Chiefs fan Taylor Swift wearing a fluffy winter coat designed by Juszczyk's wife Kristin that looked like Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelce's jersey to a playoff game in freezing Kansas City on Saturday night looked.
“Just happy,” Kyle Juszczyk said Tuesday of his reaction to seeing one of the world's most famous celebrities wearing something his wife designed.
“Just appreciation. I'm just so excited for her because I know how hard she worked, how hard she struggled. Seeing Taylor wearing it, it looked incredible. It was just great. We were just so happy in our house.”

Kristin Juszczyk has been creating custom designs for several years, from Halloween costumes to outfits she's worn to her husband's games.
Even some 49ers players, like receiver Deebo Samuel, have worn their creations this season, as have people like Olympic gymnast Simone Biles, whose husband Jonathan Owens plays for the Green Bay Packers, and Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs- Quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
That led to the opportunity to send Swift a Travis Kelce jacket, which he ended up wearing to Saturday night's game, turning the designer into a mini-celebrity that attracted the attention of wide-ranging media outlets like Vogue Magazine and ESPN Football Insider Adam Schefter.
“Honestly, one of the cooler things about it was that it brought together two different worlds: the soccer world was interested in it, the fashion world was interested in it, the Swifties,” Juszczyk said. “All of that and they all came together.”
