Taylor Swift’s presence atKansas City Chiefs games has become a regular spectacle since she began dating tight end Travis Kelce earlier this year.
The 12-time Grammy Award winner and TIME Magazine’s 2023 Person of the Year has been a constant figure at both away games and Arrowhead Stadium, often captured on broadcast cameras, especially after plays involving Kelce.
Reid’s remarks on Swift
The impact of the “Taylor Swift effect” is undeniable, as evidenced by custom Patriots jerseys, “Taylor’s Version” crewnecks, and her prominent appearance on the stadium’s video board. Chiefs coach Andy Reid acknowledged the phenomenon after the team’s 27-17 victory. “Now listen, I’m a big fan. So I’m glad she was here,” Reid noted. “I hope she enjoyed it. She’s got a great guy that she’s dating right now. So I’m happy for them both.”
Swift’s attendance at games has sparked a surge in a new fan base known as the “Swifties,” who eagerly tune in to catch a glimpse of their favorite artist.
Some devoted fans even attend games in the hopes of seeing Swift in person.
This trend persisted during the Chiefs’ recent visit to the New England Patriots, where Swift made a return to Gillette Stadium for the first time since her “Eras Tour” in May.
In a recent interview with TIME, the famous singer shared insights into her relationship with Kelce, emphasizing her attendance at games to support him without actively seeking attention on broadcasts.
