Taylor Swift’s Arrowhead Arrival
Taylor Swift made a highly anticipated appearance at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday night, marking the start of the new NFL season. Swift was there to cheer on her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, Chiefs’ star tight end, as they faced off against the Baltimore Ravens in the season opener.
A Rematch of Last Season’s AFC Championship
The game between the Chiefs and the Ravens was a rematch of last season’s AFC Championship, where the Chiefs defeated the Ravens 17-10 in a tense game on January 28. The Chiefs later claimed victory in Super Bowl LVIII against the San Francisco 49ers, adding another highlight to Kelce’s already impressive career.
Taylor’s Arrival Captured by Local Media
Taylor Swifts arrival didn’t go unnoticed. Rob Collins, the sports director at Fox4 Kansas City, shared a video of the pop superstar arriving at the venue on social media, which quickly gained attention.
The Beginnings of a Star-Studded Romance
The public’s fascination with Taylor Swift and Kelce’s romance began in July 2023, when Kelce attended Swift’s Eras Tour at his home stadium. He jokingly expressed his desire to gift her a friendship bracelet with his phone number, igniting rumors of a budding relationship. By September 2023, Kelce confirmed on “The Pat McAfee Show” that he invited Swift to one of his games. The rumors were solidified when Swift attended the Chiefs’ game against the Chicago Bears, watching from a suite alongside Kelce’s mother, Donna. The couple was seen leaving the game together, and Swift continued to attend several Chiefs games throughout the season.
Swift Opens Up About Kelce Relationship
In December 2023, Taylor Swift candidly discussed her relationship with Kelce in an interview with TIME after being named its Person of the Year. “This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell … We started hanging out right after that,” Swift shared with TIME. She added, “By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple.”
Swift’s Support at Super Bowl LVIII
Swift’s support for Kelce was evident when she attended Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas. Following the last show of her Eras Tour in Tokyo, she flew to Vegas to cheer for Kelce and the Chiefs. Sporting a red bomber jacket and a necklace with the number “87”—Kelce’s jersey number—Swift proudly showed her support as the Chiefs secured a historic victory.
