Taylor Swift heard fiancé Travis Kelce calling on the megaphone and pledged allegiance to his hands, team and vibes — by attending his latest Kansas City Chiefs football game.
Swift, 35, stepped out at the Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, October 12, to watch the team’s home game against the Detroit Lions, dressed in her signature flair.
Spotted walking up to her future father-in-law, Ed Kelce, and hugging him inside the family’s Arrowhead suite, per fan footage shared via X that evening, Swift wore a Chiefs jersey paired with gold earrings, a gold necklace and a high ponytail.
Swift was also seen chatting to WNBA star Caitlin Clark after she hugged Ed, 74.
Every Time Taylor Swift References Travis Kelce on Her ‘Showgirl’ Album
The pop star, who has come off a jam-packed promotional tour after the release of her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, has been a fixture at Kelce’s NFL games ever since they started dating in 2023.
Her romance with Travis, 36, inspired several songs on her new album, which was released on October 3 and sparked a worldwide press tour.
“[I’m] trying to soak in this moment [because] I feel pride and joy for what I made,” Swift told radio host Bru on a Monday, October 6 broadcast of Audacy Check In. “I don’t necessarily know if I’ve ever been so happy about a record before. It’s kind of a foreign feeling for me to feel so joyful because usually there’s just a lot of stress in an album release week.”
She continued, “This week, I just feel very uncomplicated feelings about this record. That’s new. So, I’m like let’s just ride out this feeling for a second.”

In addition to sharing the inspiration for Showgirl in her respective interviews, Swift also gushed about her engagement to Travis (The Chiefs tight end proposed in August after two years of dating.)
“It’s crazy, and he had it for a really long time before he gave it to me, too,” Swift told Jimmy Fallon during Monday’s episode of The Tonight Show, gazing at her old mine brilliant cut diamond ring. “I look at it constantly, like, it doesn’t feel in any way normal for me. I’m just sort of like, ‘Oh, man!’”
Swift further mused that the custom bauble, designed by Kindred Lubbock at Artifex Fine Jewelry, is a special symbol of her connection with Travis.
Travis Kelce Says He’s ‘Proud’ That Taylor Swift Is His ‘Lady’
“He’s just my favorite person I’ve ever met — no offense to everyone else,” the “Fate of Ophelia” singer said. “The fact that this is the person that I get to hang out with every day forever … that’s the whole thing of it. You look at [the ring] and you’re like, ‘I get to hang out with him forever,’ and this represents that.”
Swift’s feelings for Travis shone through on Showgirl, with songs “The Fate of Ophelia,” “Elizabeth Taylor,” “Opalite,” “Wish List,” “Honey” and “Wood” detailing the engaged couple’s love story. “Wood,” in particular, has gone viral for its racy double entendres about Travis.
“I love that girl, so … [I’d like] any song that she would reference me,” Travis said on the Wednesday, October 8, episode of his “New Heights” podcast, jokingly telling brother Jason Kelce that he surely misinterpreted the lyrics. “It’s a great song.”
Despite the references to Travis’ appendages, Jason, 37, and his wife, Kylie Kelce, both found “Wood” to have infectious beats.
“There are some bops on there, I think everybody knows,” Kylie, 33, said on her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast on Thursday, October 9, calling “Opalite” and “Wish List” her top picks. “And who are we kidding? ‘Wood.’ Here’s the deal. Do I need that much detail, specifically about my brother-in-law? Probably not. But also … Good job, Trav. That’s it.”
While the entire Kelce crew are loving The Life of a Showgirl, there is a fan contingent who were less than impressed. Swift, however, hasn’t been bothered by any mixed reviews.
“I welcome the chaos. The rule of show business is, if it’s the first week of my album release and you are saying either my name or my album title, you’re helping,” Swift told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe in a Thursday interview. “I’m not the art police. It’s, like, everybody is allowed to feel exactly how they want, and what our goal is as entertainers is to be a mirror.”
