Taylor Swift made headlines yet again this weekend, but in a much different arena: the Arrowhead Stadium, to be exact. 

Up until the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Chicago Bears, swifties were only circulating rumors about Kelce and Swift’s love affair. In July, Travis admitted to his brother, Jason Kelce, on their podcast New Heights that he was disappointed he was not able to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it after attending one of her Eras Tour concerts. Rumors started picking up around mid-September, although Travis claimed the interest to be one-sided. This is, of course, until Sunday’s game, where Swift was seen seated next to Donna Kelce, Travis’ mom, in a private box wearing Chiefs’ merch.  

Earlier this month, Jason Kelce was asked whether or not he believed the rumors to be true on the DeCamara & Richie on Audacy’s SportsRadio 94 WIP. Kelce said that while he does not know all of Travis’ business for sure, he believed the rumors to be “100 percent true.”

After being seen leaving the stadium together, a TikTok account claimed that Swift paid for the customers’ meals as a means of clearing out a restaurant for herself, Kelce, his family and his team. Entertainment Tonight, however, reported that it was actually Kelce who bought out the restaurant. The same TikTok account continued their claims by stating that she saw Taylor and Travis making out on the dance floor of a club that was also rented out for the exclusive crowd. 

While we still do not know exactly what is happening between the supposed love-birds, excitement can be seen throughout Taylor Swift TikTok and even the NFL. The NFL’s TikTok page even changed its bio to honor her attendance. In a post-game interview, Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes was asked his thoughts on if Travis and Taylor are an item, to which he responded by saying that if they were together, maybe he would get to meet her.

As of Monday night, the NFL was still playing clips of Swift’s appearance, as well as her songs in between plays. With this being the case, it is likely to assume that the buzz surrounding this couple will not subside in the near future. With swifties and now football fans alike tuning into these headlines, we are all interested in seeing the next steps of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce (hopefully together).
