Swift went viral moments after the kick-off. She enthusiastically celebrated Travis Kelce’s impressive touchdown in the first half, becoming the focal point of the VIP box’s excitement. Kelce, equally pumped, threw the ball in jubilation.
Swift has been a regular presence at Travis Kelce’s games for several months, and their relationship has become one of the prominent stories of the NFL season. Swift’s presence at Chiefs’ games has brought additional attention to the NFL, especially from her passionate fan base known as “Swifties.”
Previously, she expressed her support for Travis Kelce as she said “When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care.”
Starting on February 7, Swift is scheduled to perform four “Eras Tour” concerts in Tokyo. Her final show on that leg is set for February 10, with a 6 p.m. local time start, as per ticketing sites. Swift’s shows typically run about three hours. Given the 17-hour time difference between Tokyo and Las Vegas and the roughly 12-hour flight between the two locations, she might be present on February 11 to support Travis Kelce.
The AFC championship win secured the Chiefs’ spot in the Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers on Feb. 11. Travis Kelce will be looking to lay hands on his third Super Bowl championship, having won the LIV and LVII editions in 2019 and 2022, respectively.
