KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Pop star Taylor Swift returned to Arrowhead Stadium Thursday night to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and the rest of the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs open the NFL season against the Baltimore Ravens.
Swift arrived about 90 minutes before the AFC title game, wearing a denim top and shorts along with red, knee-high boots. She joined nearly 80,000 fans in hopes that storms in the area wouldn’t disturb one party night in Kansas City.
Swift became one of the Chiefs’ biggest fans last season, when she started a high-profile romance with Kelce, a burgeoning pop culture heavyweight in its own right. He had failed in an attempt to deliver a friendship bracelet at one of her concerts, so Kelce took to social media to invite Swift to a game, and the “Anti-Hero” singer showed up for a September matchup with the Bears.
They continued to see each other throughout the season, whenever Swift was on break from her Eras Tour. The 14-time Grammy winner even made a much-publicized sprint from a stadium show in Japan to Las Vegas in time for the Super Bowl, where she partied with friends like Blake Lively, enjoyed Post Malone’s performance of “America the Beautiful.” won what appeared to be a beer chugging contest and then celebrated the Chiefs’ triumph by locking lips with Kelce on the field.
Along the way, Swift became close friends with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany.
