Due to Taylor Alison Swift, our Sunday nights are now spent pretending to understand football and trepidatiously clicking on scary websites (the NFL store) to find “cute merch.” But we’d better get used to it, because the Kansas City Chiefs are scheduled to play pretty much every weekend ’til January 2024, and Taylor is clearly committed to being Travis Kelce’s #1 fan. Like, truly preparing myself for her showing up to the Chiefs suite with a foam finger at this point.
And now that Taylor and Travis’ relationship has gotten more serious, Taylor’s NFL appearances have gotten increasingly cute. Did you catch her wearing his jersey number on a friendship bracelet in Arrowhead Stadium? Or her panicked reaction when she thought he got hurt? It’s all just a lot in the best way possible, so we’re putting every Taylor x NFL appearance in one place for you to stare at.
Please be advised these appearances are in chronological order, so scroll down for Taylor’s most recent Chiefs suite vibes.
Sunday, September 24
Amid burgeoning dating rumors, Taylor randomly showed up at Travis’ football game and hung out with his mom, Donna Kelce. The internet simply didn’t know what to do with itself.

FYI Taylor’s appearance came just days after Travis said this on a podcast: “I told her, ‘I’ve seen you rock the stage at Arrowhead. You might have to come see me rock the stage at Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit.’ So we’ll see what happens in the near future.”
And a source told People, “Travis invited her to the game, and of course she said ‘yes.’ She just thought it was a fantastic way to spend Sunday.”
At this point, fans still weren’t sure if Taylor and Travis were dating, but they were spotted leaving the game together.
Sunday, October 21
People were convinced Taylor would show up to Travis’ game at MetLife Stadium due to its proximity to New York City, and they were correct. And she didn’t just show up. She SHOWED UP—with an entire entourage of celebs including Blake Lively, Sabrina Carpenter, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner, Antoni Porowski, and Hugh Jackman.
During the game, lip readers caught Taylor saying “look at him” and then “that’s him” (presumably about Travis!) to her friends:

I’m not a master lip reader but is Taylor Swift talking about how strong Travis Kelce is here? Looks to me like she says “look at him” and then playfully punches her friends pic.twitter.com/zUhymJcQJw

We’ll keep you updated with Taylor’s latest NFL appearances, and while we’re here, a recent-ish update from an Us Weekly source who said: “They’re really happy. They’re not saying they’re in love yet. But it’s obvious to her friends they’re heading in that direction. Friends think they’re in love.”
Oh and this source also noted that “Taylor is really happy and excited about Travis. She’s at the relationship stage where she looks forward to seeing him, getting calls from him, spending time with him. She has butterflies in her stomach and she hasn’t had that in a while. She feels safe and comfortable around him physically and emotionally.”
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuute!
