Taylor Swift was feeling the sparks fly when Travis Kelce first came on the field at the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Cincinnati Bengals game Sunday (Sept. 15).
Once again in attendance at Arrowhead Stadium to cheer on her favorite NFL team, the 34-year-old pop star attracted lots of eyes as she viewed the match from her usual perch in a box suite alongside friends and family. And before the game started, fan cameras captured her sweet reaction to a certain tight end entering the field: As announcers called out Kelce’s name while the entire stadium exploded, Swift set down her drink and started fanning herself, rolling her eyes upward in a swooning expression.
The 14-time Grammy winner then recovered her composure and joined the other thousands of fans in clapping for Kelce, who went on to assist his team in winning a close 26-25 against the Ohio players. In the lead-up to Harrison Butker’s game-ending kick, Swift conversed with her mom, Andrea, and brother, Austin, as well as Kelce’s mom, Donna. At one point, both the “Anti-Hero” singer and tight end’s mothers appeared to hug.
The outing came 10 days after the Chiefs’ first game of the 2024-25 season at Arrowhead, which Swift attended wearing a chic denim crop top and red thigh-high boots. For Game 2, the musician sported a T-shirt dress blasted with Kansas City logos and a black pair of thigh-highs.
In between the two games — both of which occurred amid Swift’s ongoing break from the Eras Tour — the star attended the MTV Video Music Awards, where she won seven trophies including best collaboration and video of the year for “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone. While accepting the latter, Swift gave Kelce a special shout-out.
“I would always just hear someone cheering, like, ‘Whoo!’ from across the studio — that one person was my boyfriend, Travis,” she recalled of filming the visual with the tight end on set. “Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic, so I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot.”
