Taylor Swift returns to cheer on Travis Kelce and the Chiefs at Arrowhead for first time since wrapping up Eras Tour
Taylor Swift has arrived at Arrowhead Stadium to watch boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Chiefs take on the Texans – marking her first time back in Kansas City in over three weeks.
Swift missed the Chiefs’ last home game against the Chargers due to her Eras Tour commitments, but the 21-month, worldwide show came to an end in Vancouver on December 8 – with the couple sparking engagement rumors at a party afterwards.
And with her schedule now cleared up, Swift turned up on Sunday to watch Kelce and the 13-1 Chiefs play, wearing a fluffy red jacket and black boots while holding a red handbag.
The songstress, who was joined by her mom Andrea and dad Scott, completed the look with a black fedora.
Her arrival came after Kelce showed up in a fluffy Sherpa jacket and $4.2k Louis Vuitton cap.
The tight end is having a down year by his own lofty standards, as he’s averaging just 8.4 yards per catch in his 12th NFL season.

Rumors that Swift and Kelce are engaged have been rife after her Eras Tour party last week
Nonetheless, he and the Chiefs look set for the AFC’s No. 1 seed and home-field advantage in the playoffs with just three weeks left in the regular season.
Kelce recently attended an Eras Tour-themed party for Swift to celebrate the end of her marathon tour.
Pictures emerged from the party – believed to be held on December 13 – with Kelce and Swift seen enjoying one another’s company and dancing together.
December 13 was also Swift’s 35th birthday, and the pop star had a ‘meaningful and memorable’ celebration for her big day.
As per a source who spoke with Page Six, she was ‘showered in gifts’ from Travis, 35, who also gave her ‘countless roses.’
The insider revealed that Travis ‘hired a private chef and bartender to cook and make cocktails for them. He had his gifts delivered beforehand so they would be a surprise.’ The athlete also ‘had jewelry engraved especially for Taylor.’
Her birthday celebration comes amid rumors of an engagement between her and Travis.
Eagle-eyed Swifties spotted a strange detail in some of the pictures to emerge from the Eras Tour party, as she appeared to be covering her ring finger with her little finger in a snap with Brittany Mahomes and Lyndsay Bell.

Several photos showed Swift sipping on a cocktail, and one fan who goes by @lizpwoods on Instagram, pointed out that the singer’s left ring finger looked ‘blurred’ in one shot.
This sparked a wild theory that Swift may have purposely ‘edited out’ an engagement ring as not to reveal news that Kelce had finally popped the question.
Swift did not appear to be wearing a ring in the pictures shared by Ross Travis, who attended the party and was formerly a teammate of Kelce’s.
One of the images showed Travis and Taylor looking suave while Ross is singing into a microphone. He captioned the picture on his Instagram story: ‘Eras complete, congrats Tay!’
The other shows Taylor herself dancing with the microphone in her hand with Kelce stood close to her.
Kelce remains a favorite target of Mahomes underneath, but the tight end is averaging just 50.6 receiving yards per game, a career low since he became a starter in 2014.

He’s also caught just two touchdowns, which would also be the lowest figure of his career as a starter.
However, Chiefs fans will be hoping that he can turn it on once again during the postseason after he helped lead Kansas City to a second-straight Super Bowl win last postseason.
If the Chiefs can wrap up the No. 1 seed (and a first-round bye) before the end of the season, Kelce and his fellow starters should get plenty of rest before the divisional round on January 18-19.
After Sunday’s home clash against the Texans, the Chiefs will travel to the Steelers and Broncos to close out the regular season.
