Taylor Swift traded her movie premiere’s red carpet for red Kansas City Chiefs gear Thursday night as the singer-songwriter cheered on tight end Travis Kelce and the defending Super Bowl champions once again.
Swift was seen rooting for Kansas City from a suite at Arrowhead Stadium with Kelce’s mother Donna Kelce and Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. In Los Angeles the night before, Swift attended the premiere of “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” bringing her wildly successful concert tour to movie theater audiences nationwide this weekend.
Swift attended her second NFL game of the season at Arrowhead on Thursday night, where the Chiefs faced the Denver Broncos. Previously, she had been present at Kansas City’s victory over the Chicago Bears last month, having been invited by Kelce. Notably, some of Swift’s fans, known as Swifties, were also spotted in the Arrowhead crowd. Among them, a young supporter wearing a Chiefs jersey attracted attention by holding a sign that read, “Here 4 Tay Tay.”
The 11-year NFL veteran invited the superstar to Arrowhead after he couldn’t give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number when she performed at the stadium over the summer. The two were seen after the Bears game, and Swift went to New Jersey to watch the Chiefs defeat the New York Jets the following week, fueling speculation that the two stars are dating.
Last week, Kelce said he felt “even more on top of the world” than after winning the Super Bowl. On Thursday night, he said he was embracing the “chaos” from all the attention.
According to the Reuters news agency, Kelce told Thursday Night Football broadcaster Amazon Prime that it’s a lot of fun for him right now, considering that everyone is focused on the Kansas City Chiefs and the current chaos in the world.
With a 19-8 victory over the Broncos, the Chiefs’ record now stands at 5-1.
