“My phone was blowing up,” Knowles, 67, began during questioning in Kansas City during “I Do, Part 2” podcast On Thursday, January 23, she noticed all of her friends were curious about whether or not she would meet Swift, 35, at an NFL game.
“Donna stayed for most of the game and then went to their box — the Taylors are there and everything,” Knowles continued. “I said to one of the producers, ‘Everyone wants to know if I'm ever going to meet Taylor Swift.' Obviously, no.”
Noles heard through a producer (apparently with the campaign the group attended) that Swift wanted her photo with Noles.
“Taylor, if you're listening over there, I'd love to do that,” she said. “But I knew the game wasn't the place to do it.”

It was almost a complete family affair at the game, because Jason was also in attendance as an ESPN commentator. At one point, Jason got a chance to praise his younger brother.
“I couldn't be more proud of where he is now, and the leader he is,” he said. “You could see how much the team gravitated towards him and how much he really embraced this role. He's also got a great beard, which I'm also very proud of.”
