Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and his wife, Kelly, made surprise background appearances in Taylor Swift’s “Patient Zero” music video, which debuted at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards while Stafford was playing the Rams’ Sunday night game against the Denver Broncos. Swift directed the video and introduced it while receiving the inaugural Artist Director Honors. Other recognizable appearances included Erin Andrews, Charissa Thompson, Dakota Johnson, Colin Farrell and former hockey player Jarret Stoll. The Staffords are friends of Swift and Travis Kelce and reportedly attended the couple’s wedding over the summer.
