Chiefs star QB, Travis Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift has become a fixture at NFL games ever since the duo started dating.
Until now, the Grammy-winning pop queen has been spotted at five Chiefs games.
Every time Swift attends a NFL game, she brings a new level of celebrity glamour to the sidelines.
From banging on the glass to joyous yelling after Kelce’s touchdowns, the singer’s animated reactions during the games have not gone unnoticed.
In one of the Chiefs’ games, she was also seen exchanging a unique handshake with Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany.

However, not everyone is singing praises for this celebrity cameo. A growing chorus of football fans has voiced complaints about the perceived oversaturation of Swift’s presence in NFL coverage.
Even Travis Kelce himself has expressed that the media may be “overdoing it” with the attention on his high-profile girlfriend.
Responding to the criticism, Swift has now addressed the issue in her latest interview with Time, where she was announced as the publication’s Person of the Year.
“I don’t know how they know what suite I’m in,” she said. “There’s a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don’t know where it is, and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once.”
Swift clarified her stance, stating:
“I’m just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and p***ing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”

It seems the pop icon is oblivious to the scrutiny surrounding her game-day enthusiasm.
Kansas City Chiefs were defeated by the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday, December 4, 2023.
The Packers won with a 27-19 score, marking the first defeat for the Chiefs with Swift in the stands.
Previously, the Chiefs had secured victories in the four games attended by Swift, leading some fans to playfully link her presence to the team’s success.
