Taylor Swift returns to cheer Travis Kelce on for the Chiefs after skipping his birthday and Kansas City’s last two NFL games

Taylor Swift made her long-awaited return to Arrowhead Stadium to cheer on her boyfriend Travis Kelce after missing his birthday and the Kansas City Chiefs’ final two games on Saturday.

Swift made it to the first two games of the season in Kansas City, but then missed the road games at the Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Chargers. But now she’s back as the Chiefs look to continue their winning start against the New Orleans Saints.

She has been enjoying a break from her Eras Tour, which kicks off again next week in Miami, meaning her absence from Kelce’s matches has been a surprise over the past two weeks.

But she will be in the stands cheering on Kelce as he tries to lead the Chiefs to a 5-0 start in their pursuit of a historic third straight Super Bowl title.

Her appearance also allays fears that the couple have split after a leaked ‘contract’ appeared online claiming they would split at the end of September.

The document, apparently printed on the letterhead of his US PR firm, circulated online, Mr Kelce called in the lawyers – and yet, although the divorce announcement never materialized, the public had not seen them together since the date stated on the letter. piece of paper.

They were last seen together in New York at the men’s final of the US Open, where they were joined by Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany.

It was also the first time Swift and Brittany were seen together since Mahomes publicly supported Donald Trump ahead of the upcoming election — a view that conflicts with Swift’s political allegiance. Since then, she has publicly supported Kamala Harris.

Swift went missing as Kelce celebrated his 35th birthday on Saturday by hosting his ‘Car Jam’ charity event in Kansas City and raising money for his 87 and Running foundation.

But he was caught on camera telling those in attendance that he expected Swift to be at Monday’s game to cheer him on against the New Orleans Saints.

The tight end saw him arrive at Arrowhead Stadium about two hours before kickoff wearing a black shirt and baggy shorts. He also appeared to have a pair of white cleats with him prior to the game.

Kelce has had a rough start to the season for the Chiefs, but indicated he is on his way to his best form during the hard-fought 17-10 win against the Chargers last weekend.

He recorded 89 yards on seven receptions in the game – more than he had in his first three games combined.

The game will be played tonight with extra meaning, including for Kelce’s older brother Jason.

It’s the first game with Travis called as an analyst for ESPN since he retired earlier this year after a 13-year career with the Philadelphia Eagles.
