Taylor Swift has landed in Kansas City to see boyfriend Travis Kelce in action as the Chiefs take on the Raiders on Christmas Day. Kansas City welcomes Las Vegas to Arrowhead – with kick-off at 1pm ET – as Kelce and Co look to cement their place atop the AFC West. Swift’s private plane left Nashville around 8am ET on Monday and touched down at Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport shortly after 10am local time.
Reports this week claimed the couple will spend Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve together in Kansas City, with the Chiefs back in action on December 31 against the Bengals. Swift is expected to be at Arrowhead for both games. She has been a regular in the stands for Chiefs game since her romance with tight end Kelce became public earlier this season
The pop sensation was at Gillette Stadium for last week’s win over the Patriots and she was in the house for the Chiefs’ most recent home game, when they were beaten by the Buffalo Bills. Victory in New England last week saw the Chiefs stop the skid following a run of four defeats in their previous six games.
The team’s pursuit of a fourth Super Bowl appearance in five years has at times been overshadowed by the romance between Kelce and Swift. But the Chiefs leaned into the relationship during this holiday season. Kansas City is auctioning off two No 87 jerseys – signed by the star tight end.
But the uniforms, which are on sale until Christmas Day, have been customized to reflect Kelce’s new romance: one carries ‘Swelce’ on the back, while the other reads ‘Traylor’. Meanwhile, on her recent trip to the Patriots – four days after her 34th birthday – the singer received a sentimental gift from New England owner Robert Kraft and his family.
As first revealed by WCVB Boston, the Patriots gave Swift a picture of a framed ticket from her first NFL stadium show in Foxborough. The concert took place on June 5, 2010, as part of Swift’s ‘Fearless’ tour. Pictures and murals from Swift’s appearances at Gillette Stadium line the walls near the locker rooms and last week Kelce was spotted wandering past a ‘wall of fame’ that included his new girlfriend.
