Taylor Swift Back in Stands: Pop Star Supports Kelce as Chiefs Face Saints
Taylor Swift returned to Arrowhead Stadium on Monday night to cheer on her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, as the team took on the New Orleans Saints, The Associated Press reports.
Swift had missed the Chiefs’ previous two road games, taking a well-deserved break from her record-breaking “Eras Tour.”
The singer’s presence at the game comes as she prepares to resume her tour, starting with three shows at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on Friday. The North American leg of the tour continues in New Orleans and Indianapolis before heading to Canada in November and December. The final show is scheduled for December 8.
Swift’s return to the stands also marks her return to the spotlight after a few weeks of relative quiet. The pop star has been keeping a low profile after a busy period that included endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for president, winning seven awards at the MTV Video Music Awards, and attending the Chiefs’ victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
Although she missed Kelce’s annual “Kelce Car Jam” charity event over the weekend, Swift has been a fixture at Chiefs games since their high-profile romance began last season. She was first spotted at a game in September, after being invited by Kelce himself.
Swift’s close friendship with the Mahomes family, particularly Brittany Mahomes, has added an interesting dimension to her relationship with Kelce. The pop star’s public support of Harris sparked some controversy, as Trump previously referenced Brittany Mahomes after she liked – and then unliked – an Instagram post by the former president.
