Music icon Taylor Swift made a notable appearance at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday during the Kansas Chiefs’ game, sparking speculation about a potential relationship with star tight end Travis Kelce.
Swift, 33 years old, was captured sitting alongside Kelce’s mother, Donna, in a video shared by Fox Sports just as the Chiefs squared off against the Chicago Bears. Dressed in the team’s iconic red and white colors, Swift passionately cheered for the Chiefs in the footage. One of the Fox Sports commentators took notice of Swift’s presence, commenting that the suite’s occupants, including Kelce’s mother, appeared to be enjoying themselves.
A video capturing Swift exclaiming, “Let’s f—– go!” after Kelce scored a touchdown quickly circulated on social media. Broadcaster Greg Olsen joined in on the speculation, suggesting, “I think the secret’s out. I believe it’s time to play cupid and finally settle the speculation. It seems like they’ve become an official item, and social media is losing its mind! Despite Swift’s high-profile presence, the game itself remained one-sided, with the Chiefs dominating the Bears with a score of 41-10.
The game was so lopsided that by halftime, with the Chiefs leading 34-0, many viewers who had been tuned in to the game on their local Fox affiliate were switched to the Cowboys-Cardinals matchup, where an upset was unfolding.
As the Bears-Chiefs broadcast concluded, viewers were treated to footage of Kelce celebrating with a fist pump and Swift jumping out of her seat, jubilantly signaling a touchdown. After the game, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was asked if he felt pressure to target Kelce more due to Swift’s presence.
“I heard she was in the house. I felt a little bit of pressure,” Mahomes chuckled. “So I knew I had to get it to Trav. … I think he wanted to get in the end zone just as much as the Swifties wanted him to.”
Later, a video showing Kelce and Swift leaving together was posted by Chicago sports media personality Jarrett Payton. Speculation about Swift and Kelce, both 33 years old, began when Kelce attended Swift’s Eras Tour over the summer.
Kelce playfully mentioned on a podcast with his brother, Jason Kelce of the Philadelphia Eagles, that he tried to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his number on it. Last week, Travis Kelce mentioned on “The Pat McAfee Show” that he found the headlines about his personal life amusing but admitted to inviting her to a game.
“I threw the ball in her court. I told her I’ve seen you rock a stage at Arrowhead, and you might have to come see me rock the stage at Arrowhead,” Kelce quipped. “We’ll see what happens in the near future.”
While Swift’s appearance isn’t definitive proof of a romantic relationship, it certainly ignited widespread interest on the internet. A source close to Swift suggested that she and Kelce are spending time together, but it’s still in the early stages. A representative for Swift had not responded to a request for comment at the time of reporting. Kelce’s brother, Jason, sidestepped questions about the rumors on an Amazon Prime postgame show, stating, “I don’t really know what’s going on there. We’ll see what happens with whoever he ends up with.”
