Dan Smyers And Wife Abby Support Their Hometown Teams During National Football League Season

On Thursday September 4, the National Football League season kicked off with a game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers that was played internationally in Sao Palo, Brazil. The Eagles showed up and played a lot better than the Chiefs did. Today, the New York Jets hosted the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Steelers pulled out the victory.

Ever since I became a Dan + Shay fan, I have followed Smyers and his wife Abby's interests outside of music, one of them being sports. Dan was born and raised in Wexford, Pennsylvania and grew up rooting for the Steelers. Abby, his significant other, was born and raised in a suburb of Kansas City and grew up rooting for the Chiefs. The couple still root for their respective hometown teams to this day. 

On January 15, 2017, Smyers posted a picture of him wearing a Steelers sweatshirt with Abby next to him him wearing her Chiefs hooded sweatshirt. While the Smyers' always support one another, the household is a bit divided when their two teams play each other. He captioned the post, "We are not talking for the next 4 hours. Go @STEELERS! 🏈"

On September 10, 2020, Abby posted a picture of herself outside their home in a Chiefs number 15 jersey, which belongs to the quarterback Patrick Mahomes. She has a big smile on her face with her arms raised up in the air. She captioned the post, "She's ready. GO CHIEFS!!!"
