Ava Hunt, the youngest daughter of Kansas City Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt and his wife, Tavia Shackles, attended her final high school dance with all of her friends.

The NFL heiress, 17, shared photos on Instagram Tuesday from her spring formal, for which she dressed in a ruffled pink maxi dress from LoveShackFancy.

Ava seemed thrilled as she posed alongside her fellow students holding a large bouquet of flowers, and she even took a moment to snap a pic with her parents in the last slide.

The teen attends the Covenant School — a Christian private school — in Dallas where, according to the Kansas City Star, she played soccer and ran track. Per the athletic department’s site, she is also a cheer captain.

In March, Ava shared on Instagram that she will continue cheerleading for Southern Methodist University’s squad, writing, “So beyond thankful for the opportunity to keep doing what I love!”

Her older brother, Knobel Hunt, 21, also goes to SMU. He is a finance major and plays soccer there.

Ava and her two siblings have been known to those in Chiefs Kingdom for some time, but she and her older sister, Gracie Hunt, 25, were thrust even more into the spotlight when they met Taylor Swift last year.

The pop superstar — who has been dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce since last summer — watched the Kansas City team play at Arrowhead Stadium from the same suite as the sisters in December 2023.

“Enchanted to meet you,” Ava wrote alongside a photo of herself and Swift, 34, who was seen holding a sparkly purple present that the Hunt family gifted her.

Gracie later revealed that they had given the “Fortnight” singer a Judith Leiber Minaudieres Swarovski microphone purse, which retails for $4,995.

When Page Six caught up with the former pageant queen over Super Bowl LVIII weekend, she revealed to us exclusively how she and her mom had picked out the perfect present for Swift.

“My mom and I had a Neiman Marcus event and got a peek at an exclusive collection that [Judith Leiber] did with them,” Gracie explained in February before sharing that they had first asked Kelce, 34, to buy the purse.

“My mom actually sent Travis a message saying, ‘Hey, like, you need to get her this,’ and he sent her a message back and was like, ‘I don’t even know if she likes that.’”

Gracie said after the NFL star hesitated to make the big purchase, her mom said, “Well, if you’re not [going to get it], this is our birthday present for Miss Taylor because she needs this.”

Since that exchange, the Hunt family has been able to cross paths with Swift again.

Ava shared on Instagram in February photos of her and Gracie hugging and celebrating with the Grammy winner on the field in Las Vegas after the Chiefs won the Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers.
