Taylor Swift may have anointed herself queen of Chiefs Kingdom but Kansas City’s 31-17 win against Chargers belonged to boyfriend Travis Kelce

When Taylor Swift played a show at Arrowhead Stadium in July, she stopped speaking to Travis Kelce afterward because she wanted to rest her voice.

Five months later, she must be grateful she has three weeks left before her Eras Tour resumes in Argentina. Otherwise, she could be forgiven for taking another vow of silence after cheering him on from the stands in this breathtaking win for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Complete with a No. 87 bracelet for her boyfriend and a Chiefs jersey, Swift witnessed every twist and turn of a hard-fought 31-17 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, even unveiling another celebratory handshake with Brittany Mahomes.

As strong as her feelings for Kelce are — and it certainly seems like they’re getting stronger — she’s certainly been enjoying her football these past few weeks.

But how could she not? Especially here, when you watch a match like this, where Kelce had so much to say to her.

Kelce was great as his team fought hard to record a sixth straight win on Sunday

He was great as his team fought hard to record a sixth straight victory in the Kansas City sun on Sunday afternoon.

He scored a touchdown on the stroke of halftime and had 143 yards receiving in the first half alone — the most of his career for a first period. For further context, his quarterback Patrick Mahomes had thrown for 321 at intermission. Kelce was everywhere.

It was quite the tribute on National Tight Ends Day, as the NFL calls it every fourth Sunday in October, by the man considered by many to be the best ever at the position.

And if so, his ability should be recognized and appreciated now more than ever.

He is in the shape of his life and was back to full strength after a ten-day break following his last match, which allowed him to not only enjoy time with Swift but also rest a sprained ankle that required heavy taping . last Thursday’s win over the Denver Broncos.

Kelce’s four-year, $57 million Chiefs contract expires next year. In June, he said he knows he is underpaid, but would like to trade that for a winning team. You can’t imagine him having the same financial worries next season.

It’s been a little less than a month since Swift first appeared here in Arrowhead to watch Kelce and the Chiefs beat the Chicago Bears in late September. In that time, she’s anointed herself queen of the Chiefs kingdom as they’ve become the most famous couple in the world, but after today, Taylor’s NFL era in Kansas City will be on hold.

The Chiefs head to Denver next Sunday to play the Broncos and attention will turn to whether she will be there. You’d have to imagine that will be the case because after that, the Chiefs’ Nov. 5 game with the Miami Dolphins — four days before her Eras Tour kicks off again in Buenos Aires — will be held in Germany. It will be another seven weeks before we can see Swift again here in Missouri – on December 10 against the Buffalo Bills.

But Sunday belonged to Kelce and his victorious team, despite the attention that Swift’s presence inevitably brings.

Kelce recently said that his relationship with Swift has put him “even more on top of the world” than when he won the Super Bowl in February.

But the way he and his team are going, he might not have to wait long before he finds out what it’s like to enjoy both at the same time.

There is a lot of football to be played between now and February. But at this point, Kelce can do little wrong.
