Taylor Swift attended almost every Chiefs home game during the regular season. But will she be there in the playoffs?
Taylor Swift fans and Kansas City Chiefs supporters are getting ready—as the Queen of Pop is making her way back to Arrowhead Stadium! NFL star Travis Kelce has confirmed that his superstar girlfriend will be in attendance this Saturday to cheer him on as the Chiefs face off against the Houston Texans in a high-stakes NFL playoff matchup.
The announcement came during an interview on ESPN with Pat McAfee, where Kelce, 35, also debuted his new bushy playoff beard. The tight end joked that the beard isn’t going anywhere until the Chiefs’ postseason journey comes to an end.
The real buzz, however, came when Kelce revealed that Swift’s presence in the stands has been a morale booster for the team. Pat McAfee teased Kelce about the “aura” her appearances bring to the stadium, to which Kelce enthusiastically responded, “Oh yeah, you know it, baby. It’s playoff football, man.”
With Swift’s undeniable star power and the Chiefs’ playoff ambitions on the line, Saturday promises to be a night to remember at Arrowhead.
Taylor Swift’s track record as the Kansas City Chiefs’ unofficial cheerleader has been almost flawless. The superstar attended every home game this season except one, which she missed due to the grand finale of her sold-out Eras Tour.
Her most recent visit to Arrowhead Stadium was on December 21, where she witnessed the Chiefs secure a 27-19 victory over none other than the Houston Texans—the same team they’ll face this weekend in a critical playoff showdown.
During an interview, Pat McAfee highlighted Swift’s undefeated streak at Chiefs home games, joking that live bettors flock to back the team the moment they spot her in the stands. “They see her walk in, and it’s like, ‘Yep, Chiefs are about to win,’” McAfee quipped, earning a proud grin from Travis Kelce.
With Swift in attendance, the Chiefs might just have a little extra magic on their side.
