The Kansas City Chiefs will be bringing quite a bit of star power into Bank of America Stadium this weekend. But no star—not the two-time Most Valuable Player, not the prolific pass catcher nor the three-time Super Bowl champion head coach—shines brighter than 14-time Grammy Award-winning recording artist Taylor Swift.

Now, Sunday's plans for Swift—the planet's most popular musician and the girlfriend of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce—are not publicly known. There is a chance Swift attends the Week 12 matchup in Charlotte, as she'll be at the start of a six-day break from her Eras Tour.

But whether or not she's there, we think it's only fair that we highlight some of the home team's famous faithful. Yeah, that's right—Carolina has some super supporters of their own.

Here are nine famous celebs who are Panthers fans:

Steph Curry (NBA guard)

Curry's Charlotte ties have kept him extremely close to his Panthers, so much so that he served as the Keep Drumming Pounder at Super Bowl 50.

Luke Combs (Country singer)

The "Fast Car" country singer has always bled black and blue, even long before he became a Grammy-nominated superstar.

Austin Dillon (Stock car driver)

Speaking of fast cars, this two-time NASCAR series champion and two-time Daytona 500 winner has never lost his Welcome, N.C. roots.

Brooklyn Decker (Model/actress)

An Ohio transplant, Decker earned her fur after moving to Charlotte as a youngster. The model and actress has been repping the Panthers ever since.

DaBaby (Rapper)

He may dab like he's from Atlanta, but he also dabs like he plays for the Panthers. DaBaby, when he was just a Baby Jesus, churned out his own team anthem in 2015.

Jon Reep (Comedian)

Reep attributes his start in comedy to the time he got kicked out of a Panthers game in the inaugural 1995 season, when the team played their home games at Memorial Stadium in Clemson. He was only trying to dance with Sir Purr!

Cannon, who may be trying to field a football team of his own offspring, once publicly ditched his hometown San Diego Chargers—in the midst of their move to Los Angeles—for the Panthers in 2017.

ALF (Comedian/puppet)

No one said celebrities had to necessarily be humans, right? Although he's a fan of cats as a delicacy, ALF—according to an NFL Super Bowl commercial from 2011—is also a fan of the cats as a football team.
