Pop superstar Taylor Swift made a headline-grabbing appearance at Arrowhead Stadium on Monday night to cheer on the Kansas City Chiefs and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, in their game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Swift’s attendance came hot on the heels of concluding the U.S. leg of her highly successful Eras Tour, which has shattered numerous records.
Fresh off her final performance at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Sunday, Swift is preparing to take her tour to Canada. Her itinerary kicks off with six shows at Rogers Centre in Toronto starting on November 14, followed by three performances in December at BC Place in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Swift and Kelce’s romance has been the subject of considerable media attention since it sparked last season when Kelce invited the “Anti-Hero” singer to watch him play in a September game against the Chicago Bears. The pair have since become a staple in the headlines, with cameras frequently chronicling their every move.
Swift arrived at the stadium dressed in a black outfit complemented by a Chiefs coat, drawing immediate attention. Her presence added a layer of intrigue, coming just one day before the presidential election—an election in which the 14-time Grammy winner has publicly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. Swift’s political stance stirred controversy when Donald Trump, Harris’ rival, referenced Swift’s friend Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, as an alleged supporter of his campaign.
In a turn of events, Patrick Mahomes has chosen to remain politically neutral, encouraging people to register to vote without endorsing any candidate.
