Did Taylor cancel at the last minute to check on Travis? Box suite at US Bank Stadium had the same TV camera sticker with ‘Tay’ as at her first game last month – exciting speculation megastar was scheduled to watch NFL star
- Anticipation was intense for the star to support boyfriend Travis Kelce at a third straight game
- TV producers even seemed to know where she would sit with a sticker marking the spot
- But speculation is mounting about a late change of plans after she was a no-show for the game in Minneapolis
Taylor Swift let down fans, TV producers and possibly even her boyfriend when she was a surprise no-show at the Kansas City Chiefs-Minnesota Vikings game today.
Photographers noticed that TV producers marked Tay’s place in the stands with the same sticker used during her previous appearances to support boyfriend Travis Kelce.
The orange sticker, complete with the name ‘Tay’ and a Target logo, helped TV camera operators find the famous spectator when the Chiefs played the Bears last month and for their game against the New York Jets last week .
Anticipation was building for another appearance today, but fans speculated about a late change of plans when there was no Taylor in the seat for her under the sticker today.
“Apparently Taylor Swift drew the line at Minneapolis,” tweeted podcaster Dan Hanzus.

‘Taylor said ‘an away game? Minneapolis? Awww, that was nice honey, but no thanks,” Megan Gailey added.
“Did I just watch an entire segment of Chiefs highlights without a shot of Taylor Swift???” Mike B tweeted.
Thousands of fans flocked to US Bank Stadium to take in the Swift and Kelce frenzy that has engulfed the NFL in recent weeks.
But after she was nowhere to be seen before kickoff in Minneapolis, NFL Network reporter Scott Hanson confirmed during Sunday’s game that the pop sensation was not present.
The same stickers were spotted next to Swift’s seat at Arrowhead when she watched Kelce and the Chiefs defeat the Bears last month – the first appearance she made to support Kelce.
Last week, she also made the trip to MetLife Stadium to watch the Chiefs play the New York Jets on Sunday Night Football.
With Swift in attendance, Kansas City won both games – moving to 3-1 on the season.
Despite her no-show Sunday, Chiefs president denied the singer-songwriter’s association with Kelce and Kansas City could have a negative impact on the team.
Mark Donovan dismissed claims that the attention Swift brings represents a distraction for Kelce and the team, especially regarding the 34-year-old himself.
“Travis is a smart team player,” Donovan told People. ‘He can handle it and was very professional.
“Our dressing room has the maturity, leadership and respect to handle it.”
Kelce himself addressed the media on Friday, saying he accepts the added media interest surrounding himself and the pop star.
“As all the attention comes, it feels like, you know — I was on top of the world after the Super Bowl and now even more on top of the world,” he said.
“You have a lot of people who care about Taylor, and for good reason. Gotta keep living and learning and enjoying the moments.

‘We learn with the paparazzi taking pictures everywhere, but that comes with it.
‘I’ve always been pretty good at compartmentalizing and staying focused in this building. I’ll just keep rolling with it, man.
“Everybody has fun with it, whether I think they’re overdoing it or not. I know I brought it on myself and I’m lucky enough to have fun with it. All that really matters is that it doesn’t put anyone off, at least here.’
