Aren’t you already tired of hearing about the budding romance of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and singer-songwriter Taylor Swift?

(Pssst . . . the Swifties may be watching, so ixnay on the Taysay.)

But just in case you are a bit fatigued by it (and you’re not!), let’s take a look at some fresher famous faces. Here are nine celebrities who are noted Carolina Panthers fans . . .

Stephen Curry

Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports

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

Jeremy Brevard-USA TODAY Sports

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

Austin Dillon

David Yeazell-USA TODAY Sports

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

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

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

Jeremy Brevard-USA TODAY Sports

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

NFL 2011 Super Bowl ad

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.

Homer Simpson

The Simpsons, S21E6: “The Greatest Story Ever D’ohed”

Staying in the fictional world, this American icon never seemed to pass up on opportunity for some Panthers swag.
