Taylor Swift grew up a Philadelphia fan and wore an Eagles sweater only a few months ago… now her loyalty will be tested when boyfriend Travis Kelce takes on her family’s team on Monday

Taylor Swift is dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, but she liked the Philadelphia Eagles first.

The pop megastar’s favorite football team will face off against her new man’s squad on Monday in the biggest game of the NFL season.

Off the field, Donna and Ed Kelce and Andrea and Scott Swift are all expected to be at Monday night’s game. ANDalthough it has now been confirmed that Taylor will not be attending.

Swift announced on Saturday that she was postponing her latest ‘Eras ​​Tour’ show in Rio de Janeiro that evening until Monday due to the extreme heat – a day after a fan died ahead of her concert on Friday.

This officially confirms that she will not be going to Kansas City, where boyfriend Kelce has a special game in store against Philadelphia.

Travis’ older brother, Jason Kelce, is a center for the Eagles. The brothers play against each other in the game and probably have a major say in the final score.

Where the 12-time Grammy Award winner’s loyalties would lie in this epic encounter is unknown, as she now has some allegiance to both teams.

In June, Swift was spotted wearing a Philadelphia Eagles sweatshirt in New York City.

However, at one of her recent shows in Argentina, Kelce met Scott Swift for the first time — and Taylor’s Eagles-supporting dad was criticized for wearing a Kansas City lanyard.

“He’s a huge football guy, he played college ball. I think a year in Hawaii and then a year or two – I forget how long she was there – in Delaware,” Kelce revealed about Swift’s father on the brothers’ New heights podcast.

“I think he was a linebacker turned center…he’s a tall guy, about 6-foot-4.”

Jason Kelce, one of the most high-profile centers in pro football, responded, “We’re going to have to get together one day and talk about a center thing.”

Swift’s Eagles fandom goes beyond a one-off outfit. She was born in West Reading, Pennsylvania and confirmed during a concert in May that she has been a fan of the team for some time.

“I have a lyric that says, ‘With my Eagles t-shirt hanging on the door,'” Swift told the crowd at Lincoln Financial Field, home of Philadelphia’s professional football franchise.

Kelce and Swift have been spending a lot of time together since their romance began months ago

“I saw some people wondering if it was the band The Eagles or the team The Eagles, and I love the band The Eagles. But guys, come on. I’m from Philly. Of course it’s the team,” Swift added.

Marriages can always change, but there’s something sacred about changing fandom in sports just because of the person you’re dating.

Most never find themselves in the situation of dating a professional athlete and how that complicates which teams to root for.

The Swifts and Kelces rooting for both teams is a nice gesture, but deep down it’s an unlikely reality for everyone involved.

“Are you going to let your devilish good looks and relationship with your daughter distract you from a life of fandom, Scott?” Jason joked on his podcast. ‘This is ridiculous.’

Travis and Scott seemed to hit it off, but when Swift changed the lyrics to her song “Karma” to reference her new boyfriend, the pair botched a high-five.

“Ah Mr. Swift, my apologies, big guy. I never miss a high-five, a big high-five man. It’s the most electric thing you can do at an event. I’m sorry, Mr. Swift,” Kelce said.

Taylor has attended four Chiefs games since she and Kelce became an item, with none of Kansas City’s opponents infiltrating her personal fandom.

The Chiefs are 4-0 with her present, but are just 3-2 without the “Wildest Dreams” singer seeing her new boyfriend live.

Swift’s care for Kelce is not in question. Can she say the same about the Eagles?
