Travis Kelce May Have Just Revealed If Taylor Swift Will Be at Next Chiefs Game

Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors

Taylor Swift has been missing from the football stands as of late, but it seems she might make a return to the sidelines for boyfriend Travis Kelce’s upcoming Kansas City Chiefs game against the New Orleans Saints.

Undoubtedly, the tight end, 35, seems just as excited about 34-year-old Swift’s attendance at the Monday, October 7, game. During the Kelce Car Jam, which also fell on his birthday on Saturday, October 5, fans think that Kelce hinted at his pop star girlfriend’s RSVP in footage shared on X (formerly Twitter).

The athlete can be heard in the video saying, “She will not be here right now… I know she’s coming for the game.” The fan then expressed their admiration for Swift, to which Kelce responded warmly, saying, “Aw, I appreciate that, thank you.”

While some noted it isn’t clear if Kelce was referring to Swift, fans remain hopeful. “I really hope he was talking about Tay 🤍🥹 ,” said one Swiftie, while another asked, “Wait did he just say Taylor will be there for the game??”

Others insist the person asked about his mom, Donna Kelce, or sister-in-law Kylie Kelce. “The person asked about his Mom, I think,” one fan declared. Another replied, “Waiiit do we know who he was talking about either kylie or taylor.”

The Kelce Car Jam — a unique event aimed at raising funds for his 87 & Running foundation — was held in Kansas City and drew a crowd that included many of Swift’s fans decked out in custom Chiefs merchandise celebrating the music icon and her man. Although the 14-time Grammy winner was not present at the event — dubbed the “party with a purpose” — Kelce’s family members showed their support, including his parents, Donna and dad Ed Kelce, and his older brother, Jason Kelce.

Swift’s impact on the NFL over the past year has been tremendous – and she’s only attended two games so far this season. According to Forbes, following their romance (which began in the summer of 2023), jersey sales for Kelce skyrocketed by 400 percent. When news broke of Swift attending a game, ticket prices surged by 40 percent, rising from $83 to $119. The NFL also saw a remarkable boost in viewership, particularly among female audiences, with a 53 percent increase in viewers aged 12 to 17 and a 34 percent increase in women over 35.
