After a bustling weekend of sold-out performances at Indianapolis’s Lucas Oil Stadium, Taylor Swift has made a rare but meaningful stop at Arrowhead Stadium. This time, however, her iconic stage presence takes a backseat, as she’s here to cheer on her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, in a showdown against the Buccaneers under the bright lights of “Monday Night Football.”
Swift’s dedication to her Eras Tour has kept her mostly in arenas, not NFL stadiums, yet her recent appearances in support of Kelce have added a surprising twist to her travel itinerary. Decked out in a black top, shorts, and knee-high boots, she matched her look with a Chiefs jacket.

The couple’s public support for each other has captivated fans across both sports and music worlds, with this Arrowhead sighting marking Swift’s third Chiefs game of the season. Her last appearance was just a few weeks ago on October 7, when the Chiefs faced off against the Saints, giving fans a glimpse into the couple’s balancing act between Swift’s rigorous tour schedule and Kelce’s high-stakes NFL season.
Swift’s return to Kansas City comes fresh off a romantic gesture by Kelce himself, who attended her Indianapolis concert on Saturday night. In the VIP section, Kelce even shared a dance with Swift’s mom, Andrea, in a lighthearted moment captured by fans on TikTok. The connection between Swift and Kelce has sparked countless fan theories, adding a layer of intrigue to each of Swift’s game-day appearances.
Further fueling the excitement, Swift subtly paid homage to Kelce during her Indianapolis show, altering a line in her hit song “Karma” to, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me.” This lyrical tweak has become a fan-favorite moment, ever since she first introduced it during her tour in South America.
How Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce keep romance alive amid fame and frenzied schedules
The pair’s whirlwind romance began last summer, with their public debut in New York City last October. Despite their busy careers, Swift and Kelce have managed to keep the flame alive, even as the pop superstar continues her extensive tour and Kelce battles through an NFL season with the defending Super Bowl champs.
Earlier this year, Swift stood by Kelce at the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory over the 49ers in Las Vegas. Despite her commitments to the Eras Tour in Tokyo, she made the cross-continental trip, highlighting the lengths to which they’ve both gone to support each other’s careers.
Indianapolis was a fitting end to Swift’s U.S. leg of the tour, a journey that started in March 2023 in Glendale, Arizona. But the Chiefs may see her again, with rumors swirling about a potential return to Arrowhead on November 10 when they take on the Broncos, just days before Swift resumes the final leg of her tour in Toronto and Vancouver.
With the Eras Tour set to conclude in December, Swift’s recent appearances at Chiefs games have given fans a closer look at the relationship and revealed a different side to the globally celebrated artist. In true Swift fashion, she’s kept her followers on their toes, blending her life on stage with a personal life that’s as compelling as any of her hit songs.
