With the Chiefs taking on the Broncos on Thursday night, there’s only one question that seems to be on anyone’s mind: Will Taylor Swift be at the game?
The answer to that question is yes, and we know this because she is already in the stadium and has made her way to a box. The singer arrived at GEHA Field about an hour before kickoff, at 8:15 p.m. ET. When she arrived at the building, she was taken away by a golf cart.
Wearing a Chiefs zip-up, Swift waved and smiled at fans as she walked by.
Once again, Swift is seen in a box at Arrowhead with Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce.
The fact that the singer showed up is somewhat impressive, and that’s because she’s in the middle of a busy week. For one thing, the film version of their “Eras Tour” is coming out this week. The film, which was originally scheduled to be released on Friday, will now be released on Thursday, meaning it will take place while Swift is at the game.
The film’s premiere took place in Los Angeles on Wednesday and yes, Swift was there, meaning it was a wild 24 hours for her.
As for the Chiefs, the game against Denver will be streamed on Amazon, and while you’ll definitely see Swift’s face on Thursday night, the company will apparently be keeping things to a minimum. Al Michaels, who will host the game, said this week that Amazon’s coverage of Swift would be done in “moderation.”
Apparently someone forgot to relay this information to the rest of the broadcast team, as Swift was shown twice within her first 20 minutes in the stadium.
With Swift in attendance, it’s practically a guarantee that Travis Kelce will be playing. The tight end has been listed as questionable, but all signs point to him being on the field for the Chiefs.
It’s still not clear if Swift and Kelce are officially together, but if not, then she must be a HUGE Chiefs fan because this is the third game of the season she’s attended.
Swift came to Kansas City for the Chiefs’ Week 3 win over the Bears. During that game, Swift sat with Kelce’s mother, Donna, and that’s where she will sit on Thursday night.
After attending the Bears game, Swift then attended the team’s Week 4 game against the Jets with several celebrity friends. After the game ended, Kelce said the NFL went a little too far with its coverage of Swift.
“I think it’s fun when they show who’s in the game,” Travis said. “I think it adds a little bit more atmosphere, adds a little bit more to what you see. But at the same time they overdo it a little bit.”
Swift wasn’t present for the Chiefs’ road win over the Vikings in Week 5, but she’ll be back to cheer on Kelce in Week 6.
Although Michaels insists that coverage of Swift will be done in moderation, that could change. If the game turns into a blowout — which is certainly possible on a night when the Chiefs have a 10.5 advantage — it wouldn’t be surprising if the entire broadcast becomes one giant advertisement for all things Swift has to do, will.
