Not only are the Kansas City Chiefs on a quest for another Super Bowl-title defense, but they also feature one of the most-followed romances in the world with tight end Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.
The football star and pop icon became the talk of the year in 2023 when Swift showed up at Arrowhead Stadium in Week 3 of the 2023 season. From that point on, sports and music fans have watched their love story grow as Swift embarked on her Eras Tour while Kelce and the Chiefs attempted to win their second consecutive Super Bowl. It all culminated in Las Vegas in February when Kansas City won another title and the couple got to celebrate the repeat championship together.
The couple remains strong in 2024 with Swift seeing Kelce play, and they recently attended a Cleveland Guardians-New York Yankees playoff game together. But don’t expect to see Swift cheer on her beau this weekend. She’ll be starting the final leg of her Eras Tour, which began Friday in Miami. She has a concert scheduled Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium.
While the Chiefs have been successful when Swfit is in the crowd, it’s not the end of the world for Kansas City and Kelce. The tight end has had some solid numbers without her.
