Even the GOAT needs a superfan. For Nick Saban, that’s always been his daughter, Kristen. She often fills the room with the loudest cheer whenever Saban steps on the stage to receive an honor. But it turns out her super dad isn’t the only person Kristen Saban cheers for. She’s also a proud Swiftie! She’s even used Taylor Swift-themed memes to playfully tease her dad, like that one time she shared a photoshopped image of Saban wearing a headset on the cover of Swift’s 1989 album, complete with laughing emojis. For any Swiftie, her craze is totally understandable. And right now, Kristen is willing to sacrifice her sleep, with her eyes glued to the TV. Well, sleep can wait; it’s the AMAs, folks! And Kristen is already stirring the pot.

Do you remember how Taylor Swift wooed everyone with her Eras Tour in November last year? The college football world had its share of moments, too. Lane Kiffin, a Swiftie just like Kristen, hit the Eras Tour with his fam right after a tough Week 7 loss. And for his part, Pat McAfee couldn’t stop gushing about how amazing the concert was and how good the Fortnite singer performed. The analyst shared, “Taylor Swift is a f—— monster. She cut promos in the middle of this thing, told stories, no flubs. We’re talking jokes, we’re talking punch lines, we’re talking history of things, no flubs.” And Kristen could not stop herself from agreeing with her dad’s College GameDay colleague. Well, a Swiftie has always got the other Swiftie’s back. Kristen then commented, “Pat McAfee 🤝 Swifties.”

Saban’s daughter hails Swift as a queen. As earlier, too, Kristen crushed on the Love Story stars’ Grammy Awards red carpet look by dropping crown emojis. Right now, Kristen can’t keep calm. The reason?

The 2025 American Music Awards is scheduled for May 26, Monday. Over the past few weeks, in the buildup to the AMAs, speculation has abounded that Swift would use the award show to announce the release of “Reputation (Taylor’s Version).” Looks like Kristen is already skipping heartbeats in excitement. And could not wait to share what she has been going through with the other Swifties in her IG fam.

Re-sharing Elite Daily’s post, Saban’s daughter wrote, “Fellow Swifties, are we getting RepTV tonight or are we just clowning again. 💀😅” Like all other Swifties, Kristen, too, might have noticed the biggest hint. One of the biggest hints was her subtle change to her official website, wherein the Store section had been rearranged to spell out AMAs.

After all, the number 26 holds a special place when it comes to the recent actions of the pop star. Swift pops up in the Karma music video at exactly 26 seconds, while she was 26 when she recorded the famous number Look What You Made Me Do. This time, before the AMA, some merchandise on her website was discounted by 26%. Kristen, along with other fans, might have noticed how Swift posted photos from the “Reputation” set of her “Eras Tour” a total of 26 times. But there remains a doubt after all.

Kristen and the fandom thought that Swift was going to drop Rep TV on a certain date based on “easter eggs” or cryptic clues, only for nothing to happen. So, she is scared that she might be clowned again. While Kristen’s daily routines now revolve around checking her phone for any new Taylor Swift news, she is now working towards a good cause. 

Kristen Saban joins parents on a mission to change lives

It has been over a year since Saban hung up his coaching whistle. But so what? The ex-Alabama head coach just does not want his fans to remember him for his seven Nattys and 87.4% win rate. He keeps on spreading his magic off the gridiron too.

The GOAT, along with his wife, Terry, has set up a charitable organization named Nick’s Kids Foundation. It has donated nearly $15 million to deserving organizations and causes throughout the state of Alabama and the Southeast since Saban’s arrival in Tuscaloosa. And Kristen plays a big role in supporting her parents’ new initiative.

On May 19, they organized an auction with a special cause. To reach out to people, Kristen even put it on her IG story. “Starting TONIGHT at 5pm, bid on exclusive, one-of-a-kind items and unforgettable experiences, including signed memorabilia from former players, opportunities to engage with Coach Saban and Coach DeBoer, an ESPN GameDay experience, and much more! All proceeds support our mission to make a lasting impact on children and families.” Doing daughter duties, she is a proud mom to a 5-year-old boy, James Nickolas Setas.

However, amidst all these responsibilities, Kristen Saban manages time for herself, learning new things. For instance, she recently learned how to ride a scooter. Nick Saban’s daughter posted a reel wearing a pink helmet and riding on her black electric scooter. And she did flex it on IG by posting the video with a caption, “Learned a new trick.” Here’s hoping Kristen won’t need a fresh trick to disguise heartbreak after May 26.
