Taylor Swift spreads Christmas cheer at Travis Kelce's Chiefs game

In a festive display of support, Taylor Swift was seen at Arrowhead Stadium, eagerly anticipating a Christmas victory from her fiancé, Travis Kelce, and his Kansas City Chiefs teammates. The team faced off against the Denver Broncos in a spirited divisional clash on the holiday.

The Chiefs’ tight end and his squad aimed to bring joy to their fans, known as Chiefs Kingdom, by securing a win during this special occasion. Swift, who announced her engagement to Kelce in August, was there to celebrate her first Christmas as an engaged woman.

The 36-year-old pop sensation was spotted entering Arrowhead Stadium during the second quarter of the game, as captured by Amazon Prime’s broadcast. Swift was dressed for the occasion, donning a vibrant red leather bomber jacket emblazoned with the Chiefs’ colors.

As she made her way through the stadium’s inner corridors, Swift was seen warmly embracing another woman, sharing a joyful moment amid the bustling atmosphere. Her presence added an extra layer of excitement to an already charged Christmas Day event.

The hitmaker, sporting a Chiefs’ red leather bomber jacket, was seen making her way through a tunnel deep in the bowels of the stadium where she greeted another woman with a tight hug. 

She appeared to be accompanied by her father, Scott, and her mother, Andrea, who also added a pop of festive red to her look with a crimson sweater under her sleek black jacket.

It wasn’t the first time that Chiefs Kingdom has celebrated Swiftmas with the pop sensation previously taking in Kansas City’s holiday showdown at home against the Raiders in December 2023. 

The Chiefs ultimately suffered a 20-14 defeat in front of Swift and her family, including her brother Austin who had dressed as Santa for the occasion. 

Kelce admitted at the time that the loss had soured Christmas for him but appeared to suggest that spending it with Swift had lifted his spirits. 

This year’s festive fixture, however, bears more significance for her NFL beau amid heightened speculation over his future. 

Although the Chiefs have already been eliminated from playoff contention – a fate sealed with a defeat to the Los Angeles Chargers two weeks ago – the pop sensation could still be present for a momentous occasion for the star tight end.

The clash with the Broncos, who have already clinched their spot in the playoffs and sit atop of the AFC West, marks the final regular season game of the 2025 campaign at Arrowhead Stadium.

And it could be his last home game ever, as rumors about his potential retirement following the Chiefs’ elimination from the playoff contention.

Ahead of the Christmas Day game, Kelce sat down with fellow Chiefs legend Tony Gonzalez as he finally addressed the elephant in the room in an emotionally-charged interview.

Should celebrities like Taylor Swift play such a big role in sports culture and fan attention?

‘I think I’m still searching for those answers,’ Kelce said when pressed on his looming decision. ‘Obviously the way this one ended with a sour taste in my mouth. I feel motivated but I’ve got to make the right decision for myself.’ 

However, the three-time Super Bowl winner didn’t fully close the door on the possibility of returning for one more season.

‘Just the fact that when I know it’s over, it’s over,’ he added when Gonzalez questioned what he would be returning for.

‘I still have a lot of love for this game. If I came back it would be just to answer that flame in my heart for this thing.’

Kelce continued: ‘If it was just Sundays, I think I could play until I’m 50 but obviously there is so much that goes into it.’

Though the Christmas fixture against the Broncos could be his final at Arrowhead, he will still be set for a final outing against the Raiders, in Las Vegas, on January 4.

However, while the Chiefs have one fixture remaining on the calendar, it is likely to be the final time fans see Swift in the stands this season.

The songstress has only attended Chiefs home games this season, and even then, she has made reserved, secretive appearances in comparison to the past two years.

The Fate of Ophelia hitmaker has made discreet entrances into the Chiefs’ home amid security concerns, often entering the stadium behind a screen.

The 14-time Grammy Award winner has not attended a Chiefs road game since their playoff win at the Baltimore Ravens in January 2024.

The only time she has watched her man away from Arrowhead Stadium since then was last season’s Super Bowl in New Orleans.

With Swift shirking away games, it is unlikely that she will make the trip to Sin City – where she watched her man win his third Super Bowl just under two years ago – for the final game of the NFL season. 

If January 4 does prove to be his final rodeo, Kelce and Swift are expected to turn their attention to their upcoming nuptials with the A-List couple set to tie the knot next summer.
