The NFL’s Taylor Swift mania has officially spread to Germany as the pop star’s hit “Cruel Summer” is played ahead of her boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Chiefs’ game against the Dolphins in Frankfurt, but she unfortunately didn’t make the journey to cheer him on.
The song, released in June, was heard by fans on Saturday at Deutsche Bank Park, home of Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt.
A day before her single was played overseas, Taylor walked the streets of the Big Apple with close friend Selena Gomez and Brittany Mahomes – the wife of the Chiefs’ starting quarterback.
She opted not to travel to Germany to see her boyfriend play as she prepares to tour South America next week.
She will begin performing at Estadio River Plate in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on November 5, before heading to Rio De Janeiro, Brazil to sing at Estadio Nilton Santos – home of Brasiliero Serie A leaders Botafago.

Travis Kelce was all fired up in Germany as the Chiefs look to bounce back from a loss at the Broncos
Swift concludes her tour with three concerts in Sao Paulo. Next year she will leave for Japan.
It is widely believed that Travis has plans to join Taylor while she is in South America, when the Chiefs can relax during their bye week (Week 10 of NFL action).
The Chiefs (6-2) are looking to bounce back in Germany after a shocking loss to the Broncos (3-5) in Denver on Oct. 29.
In that game, Kelce was well below his best. The tight end had six receptions for 58 yards and no touchdowns. His longest reception was just 19 yards.
Meanwhile, ahead of the NFL game against Germany, several members of the Chiefs said they want to be the “world team” by going global with star power and Super Bowl success.
“It’s really cool to be on this stage, the world stage, in Germany,” Kansas City QB Patrick Mahomes said Friday. ‘I’m happy to be able to play here.’
“We feel like this is our era,” Chiefs president Mark Donovan added. “Based on the timing, the success and the stars, it is a responsibility to take advantage of this.
“If we don’t aggressively take advantage of this, it will be a failure.”
Mahomes shook off an illness in time for this weekend’s game against Miami.
