Taylor Swift Hits Up Chiefs Game With a Very Special Guest

Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors

Taylor Swift is back in action to cheer on Travis Kelce at Arrowhead Stadium — the last Chiefs game she’ll attend before the final leg of her Eras Tour kicks off next week.

While all eyes — and cameras — were on Swift, 34, as she arrived at the famed Kansas City stadium on Monday, October 27, she did not come to the game alone. In fact, the “So High School” singer’s dad, Scott Swift, was right alongside her.

After having missed the Kansas City Chiefs’ last two games, Taylor showed up on Monday night clad in an autumn-inspired look: a brown plaid mini dress that featured red piping details, a sweetheart neckline and off-the-shoulder sleeves. The 14-time Grammy winner, who wore her dark blonde hair in a high ponytail, paired the fit with knee-high black boots.

Meanwhile, Scott, 72, showed his support for his daughter’s boyfriend by wearing a Chiefs-inspired, bright red zip-up with a white shirt, collar popped, underneath.

Taylor and her dad were photographed arriving at the stadium together in a golf cart. As they entered the event space, the “Mine” artist walked ahead of her dad, flanked by security every which way.

The Chiefs’ Monday night match-up against the New Orleans Saints marks Taylor’s third game of the season. Scott, for his part, has also attended Chiefs games with Taylor in the past — most notably at the 2024 Super Bowl in February, during which he rocked Chiefs merch while rooting for Kelce as the tight end and star quarterback Patrick Mahomes helped the team clinch yet another Super Bowl win.

Taylor’s other family members — mom Andrea Swift and brother Austin Swift — have also been at Chiefs games this season. Andrea, 66, memorably embraced Travis’ mom, Donna Kelce, in a huge hug at the Chiefs September 16 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Austin, 32, was also at the game — as were Taylor’s close friends and fellow musicians Este and Danielle Haim.

While Monday’s game not only marks the last one Taylor will attend before kicking off the final run of Eras shows on October 18 — the Chiefs have a bye week next week — it also marks somewhat of a birthday celebration for Travis, who turned 35 on Saturday, October 5.

The three-time Super Bowl champ said as much himself when speaking to a fan at the Kelce Car Jam on Saturday.

“She will not be here right now,” Travis told the Swiftie at the event, per footage shared on social media, adding: “I know she’s coming for the game.”
