NFL defensive tackle Khalen Saunders recently reunited with his older brother, Kameron, a backup dancer on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, for a joyful family gathering in New Orleans ahead of Swift’s two-night performance at the Superdome. The Saunders brothers, along with their mother, Kim Hamilton, took the opportunity to have a little fun with “Karma,” one of Swift’s iconic songs.
Kam taught Khalen and Kim the dance moves to the popular song, resulting in a heartfelt moment that delighted Swift fans and NFL followers alike.
The gathering marked a full-circle moment for the Saunders family, celebrating both Kam’s role in Swift’s tour and Khalen’s NFL journey.
Khalen, a third-round pick out of Western Illinois in 2019, spent his first four seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he earned a reputation as a fast and versatile defensive tackle. Standing at 6-foot-0 and weighing 324 pounds, Khalen is primarily a defensive force for the Saints but occasionally doubles as a fullback in goal-line situations, adding another layer to his dynamic athleticism.
Recently, Khalen made waves on Monday Night Football, intercepting a pass from his former Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes and returning it 35 yards. His impressive play caught the attention of Swifties, especially since Taylor Swift was at the game, already familiar with Khalen through his brother Kam’s role on her tour.
Kam, who shares his younger brother’s impressive size and athleticism, showed off his skills by helping Khalen and their mother master Swift’s “Karma” dance moves.
Together, they nailed the routine, to the delight of onlookers and fans.
With Saints fans buzzing over the giant friendship bracelet the Superdome put up to welcome Swift’s tour, Khalen and Kam’s lighthearted dance performance added even more excitement for Swift’s Big Easy takeover.

After his recent Monday night interception and now his fun “Karma” dance, Khalen has won the hearts of Swifties, who have enthusiastically adopted him as their “second-favorite NFL player” behind Travis Kelce.
As the Saints prepare to head to Los Angeles for their next game against the Chargers, Khalen’s viral dance moment has only solidified his place as a fan-favorite on and off the field.
