As Taylor Swift headed into Arrowhead Stadium Saturday, you’d never know that she’d just been named in what might have been the biggest news story of the day. She was just another woman at the Kansas City Chiefs game against the Houston Texans, albeit one in an extremely kicky coat.
As you, of course, understand, Swift was at the game to cheer on her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Swift has been skipping the team’s away games this year, reportedly because her security team is better able to consistently ensure her safety at the Chiefs’ home stadium. Knowing that, crowds were primed for Swift to alight at yesterday’s matchup, especially since she’d been spotted in Kansas City earlier that week, for a Kelce-engineered surprise party celebrating the end of her blockbuster Eras tour.
On Saturday, Taylor Swift had even more to celebrate, as the Chiefs beat the Texans 27-19. Video shot by a spectator and posted on social media shows Swift’s excited reaction at the conclusion of the game. She’s seen hugging her mom, Andrea Swift, and Kelce’s mom, Donna Kelce, in a group embrace inside the family’s private box.
Looking at Swift’s relaxed and happy demeanor, or extremely snazzy outfit (per Page Six, “a red Charlotte Simone coat ($404) and black Chanel bucket hat with black argyle tights by Sheertex and knee-high Veronica Beard suede boots ($695)”) you might be hard pressed to align that person with how she was allegedly characterized by the crisis comms team retained by the producers of This Ends With Us, the notoriously troubled 2024 domestic violence drama starring Blake Lively and directed by co-star Justin Baldoni.
