Pop superstar attends NFL game
Taylor Swift celebrates her very special friend

Taylor Swift is actually a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles – but also of Travis Kelce. He plays for the Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL and is said to be in a relationship with the pop icon. In any case, Kelce’s quarterback Patrick Mahomes feels a special pressure when Swift attends a game in Kansas for the first time.
Patrick Mahomes is probably the best quarterback of his generation; he has already led the Kansas City Chiefs to Super Bowl triumph twice. The man knows about pressure. But the situation that his favorite pass receiver, Travis Kelce, had put him in in week three of the NFL was new even for the playmaker: Mahomes was under special observation and was determined to deliver. Pop icon Taylor Swift sat high up in a box and cheered on the Chiefs and especially tight end Travis Kelce. Swift is said to be at least very good friends with him now. The duo leaves it open whether it is more. In any case, Swift was now a guest at a game at Arrowhead Stadium for the first time. And Mahomes felt obligated to let buddy Kelce shine.

“I heard she’s there,” Mahomes said on Fox Sports after the game about the play that gave the Chiefs a 41-0 lead over the Chicago Bears late in the third quarter. “I felt a bit of pressure and knew I had to get the ball to Trav.” Kelce caught the ball in the back of the end zone, Swift cheered in the box next to Kelce’s mother, Donna. “He does his own thing and just figures out a route and I throw him the ball,” Mahomes continued. “I think he wanted to get in the end zone just as much as all the Swifties wanted.” The Swifties are Taylor Swift’s millions of fans.
The rumors surrounding Kelce and Swift have recently intensified after it was reported that the two were “secretly hanging out together.” “I threw her the ball,” Kelce said on “The Pat McAfee Show,” reports. “I told her, ‘I saw you rocking the stage at Arrowhead Stadium, maybe you need to see me rocking the stage at Arrowhead Stadium. So, we’ll see what happens in the near future …” Now Swift was there, celebrating the defending champion’s easy victory. The two were also seen leaving the stadium together.
Curious: Swift, who comes from a suburb of Philadelphia, is an avowed fan of the Eagles, who are based there. “I have a lyric that says, ‘With my Eagles t-shirt hanging on the door.’ I saw some people wondering if it was the band Eagles or the team Eagles, and me love the band,” she explained at a concert in Philadelphia in May, “but guys, come on. I’m from Philadelphia. Of course it’s the team.” Travis Kelce’s brother plays center for the Philadelphia Eagles.
