Chiefs gush over Taylor Swift in post welcoming Travis Kelce’s girlfriend back to Arrowhead: ‘Football season is here’
Taylor Swift was welcomed with open arms at Arrowhead for the Kansas City Chiefs’ season opener against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night.
The Chiefs take on the Ravens on the first night of the new NFL season, with Andy Reid’s team chasing an unprecedented three-peat after winning their second straight Super Bowl last season.
While Travis Kelce was in action, Swift returned to Arrowhead to watch Thursday’s game in a private suite with her boyfriend’s family.
And Kansas City is excited to see the pop star back in the stands.
Alongside a clip of her watching the season opener alongside Kelce’s father Ed, the Chiefs referenced Swift’s 2017 song “Call It What You Want” to welcome her back.

As expected, the Chiefs’ message on social media has divided opinion among football fans.
Some took aim at the NFL franchise for dedicating a post to Swift during their game against the Ravens, with one writing, “Here we go with this shit again.”
Another said, “Focus on the game.”
While a third said: ‘Please don’t let her see her husband again’.
However, others loved the reference to Swift’s song and praised the Chiefs for giving her a shout-out.

Another said: ‘The most precious princess of Chiefs Kingdom is back!!’
While someone posted: ‘Welcome back Queen, our lucky charm’.
When Swift returned to Arrowhead in a sparkly pair of jeans, she didn’t sit next to Brittany Mahomes to watch the Chiefs play the Ravens.
It comes after the singer’s legion of fans begged her to ignore the wife of Kansas City star quarterback Patrick because it seemed like she was supporting Donald Trump in the upcoming US elections.
As they took their seats on the NFL’s opening night, they appeared to be in different suites. It’s a marked difference from last season, when they were inseparable during games.
Swift took her usual spot in Kelce’s luxury suite alongside the tight end’s family and friends. She was captured sitting next to both of Kelce’s parents – Ed and Donna – in the first half.
