Taylor Swift all smiles as she cheers on Travis Kelce at New Year’s Eve Chiefs vs. Bengals game
Taylor Swift was all smiles as she watched her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his Kansas City Chiefs teammates take on the Cincinnati Bengals on New Year’s Eve.
The pop star, 34, was photographed grinning, cheering and waving from her VIP suite at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
She was first seen arriving at Sunday’s game in a vintage Chiefs letterman jacket, which matched the one Kelce wore as he walked into the stadium separately.
She styled her blond bangs to the side and wore her signature red lipstick and cat-eye eyeliner.
Taylor previously attended the tight end’s Christmas Day home matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, showing up in a Santa hat embossed with his jersey number as she sat with her brother, Austin Swift, and their parents, Scott and Andrea Swift.
Austin notably went all-out for the game and rocked a Santa Claus outfit.
He even handed out toys from a red toy sack. Kelce later revealed on “New Heights” that Austin gifted him a VHS of his favorite football movie, 1994’s “Little Giants,” from the bag.
Ever the supportive girlfriend, the singer made sure to comfort Kelce, 34, after the Chiefs lost to the Raiders with a score of 20-14 by holding his hand upon exiting the stadium.
As the game came to an end, Taylor was also seen hugging a gutted Brittany Mahomes, her new friend and the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Despite the Christmas Day loss, Kelce said the evening was much merrier.
“It ended well with good Christmas cheer and good people,” he confirmed on his post-Christmas podcast episode.
“That’s always gonna save Christmas no matter if you lose to the Raiders or not.”
Although the tight end didn’t specify that he spent the holiday with his 12-time Grammy-winning girlfriend, an insider told the Daily Mail that Taylor and her family got together at his $6 million Kansas City, Mo., house with his father as well.
“Seeing their families together on such a special holiday was the best gift ever for Taylor,” the source divulged.
“She’s never had this happen before and it made the holiday the most meaningful one for her.”
Taylor and Kelce have been dating since July and are super “serious” about their romance, according to multiple reports.
In fact, a person close to Taylor’s camp told Page Six exclusively that an engagement may be in the near future after the NFL star asked her father, Scott Swift, for permission to marry her.
“Scott has been asked for his blessing and has wholeheartedly given it, and Travis has been talking to friends about a ring,” our insider said.
They also said that Kelce’s outgoing personality is a perfect match for Taylor.
“Taylor finally has a partner willing and game,” the source noted.
“He’s like, ‘I’ll stand by the side of the stage and wait for you to jump in my arms — I’ll do that!’”
Of course, fans went wild after they saw the “Anti-Hero” hitmaker do just that as soon as she ended her second Eras Tour show in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in November.
It marked their first public kiss.
The fan-favorite couple has been dating since July and proudly confirmed their romance when Taylor cheered on Kelce from the VIP box at his Sept. 24 game against the Chicago Bears.
Taylor opened up about their shameless PDA during her Time 2023 Peron of the Year profile.
“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,” she gushed.
“The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”
