The Kansas City Chiefs’ most famous fan, Taylor Swift, was once again in attendance at an NFL game on Sunday, continuing to support the team amid rumors of a romance with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. NBC cameras caught Swift in a suite alongside other famous faces, including Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Hugh Jackman, Sophie Turner, and filmmaker Shawn Levy. She was seen celebrating and cheering as the Chiefs scored a touchdown against the New York Jets in the first quarter.
In addition to showcasing Swift’s presence at the game, NBC aired trailers for her upcoming concert film, “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” which is set to premiere on October 13. The network also cut to footage of Times Square, where video highlights of Swift’s Eras Tour were featured on one of the giant screens. The NFL itself joined in the action, posting images of Swift at the game.
Prior to the game, NBC utilized Swift’s song “Welcome to New York” in a promo for the football matchup, further emphasizing her involvement. The network captioned a post on X (formerly Twitter) with “Taylor Made for Sunday Night,” fueling the excitement surrounding Swift’s appearance.
During the game, a State Farm ad featuring Kelce alongside teammate Patrick Mahomes and actor Kevin Miles as Jake From State Farm was aired. Interestingly, Miles, who plays the insurance agent character, was spotted during Sunday’s Philadelphia Eagles game sitting next to Kelce’s mother, Donna, whose other son, Jason Kelce, plays for the Eagles.
Last week, Swift was also present at the Chiefs game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, where she occupied a suite alongside Kelce’s mom. This time, Swift arrived in a long-sleeved black top, black jacket, denim shorts, and black boots, deviating from the previous week’s outfit in red, the color associated with Chiefs apparel.
While Swift and Kelce have not confirmed their rumored relationship, Kelce complimented Swift’s appearance on his podcast, “New Heights With Jason and Travis Kelce,” stating that she “looked amazing” during the game. He added that “the day went perfect for Chiefs fans” and jokingly mentioned scripting it all for their benefit.
Swift is currently on a break from her Eras Tour, which will resume on November 9 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Notably, Kelce had attempted to gift Swift a friendship bracelet when her tour stopped in Kansas City but was unsuccessful. The singer also previously performed three concerts at MetLife Stadium in May.
According to StubHub, a resale ticket marketplace, the Jets sold double the usual number of tickets for their game against the Chiefs since Swift’s appearance at the previous Chiefs game. This surge in ticket sales demonstrates the impact of Swift’s support on the viewership and enthusiasm surrounding the team.
Despite Swift’s allegiance to the Chiefs, she revealed during a concert in Philadelphia earlier this year that she is actually an Eagles fan, harking back to her roots as a Philadelphia native.
In conclusion, Taylor Swift’s presence at NFL games has garnered much attention, with NBC and the NFL capitalizing on her involvement to promote their broadcasts and engage viewers. Whether or not Swift and Travis Kelce are dating, their supposed connection has only added to the curiosity surrounding Swift’s support for the Chiefs. As her Eras Tour continues, fans eagerly await her future appearances and their potential impact on ticket sales and game excitement.
