Presenting: Every Single One of Taylor Swift's Chiefs Game Appearances
Due to Taylor Alison Swift, Sunday nights are now spent pretending to understand football and trepidatiously clicking on scary websites (the NFL store) to find "cute merch." And Taylor is clearly committed to being Travis Kelce's #1 fan. Like, truly preparing myself for her showing up to the Super Bowl with a foam finger at this point. (Before you ask, we did the math, and yes she can fully make it to Las Vegas from Tokyo, thanks to the time difference working in her favor.)
Anyway, as we emotionally and physically prepare for the Super Bowl on February 11, it's time to look back on Taylor's many, many, mannnnny NFL appearances. Like, the time she wore Travis's jersey number on a friendship bracelet at Arrowhead Stadium. Or the time she fully panicked when she thought Travis got hurt. Or, you know, the time she kissed Travis on the field in front of dozens of cameras. It's all just a lot in the best way possible, so we're putting every Taylor x NFL appearance in one place for you to stare at.
Please be advised these appearances are in chronological order, so scroll down for Taylor's most recent Chiefs suite vibes. (WORTH. THE. SCROLL.)
September 24, 2023
Amid burgeoning dating rumors, Taylor randomly shows up at Travis's football game and is photographed hanging out with his mom, Donna Kelce.
Naturally, the internet simply doesn't know what to do with itself.

FYI Taylor's appearance comes just days after Travis said this on a podcast: "I told her, 'I've seen you rock the stage at Arrowhead. You might have to come see me rock the stage at Arrowhead and see which one's a little more lit.' So we'll see what happens in the near future."
At this point, fans still aren't sure if Taylor and Travis are dating, but they are spotted leaving the game together.

People are convinced Taylor will show up to Travis's game at MetLife Stadium due to its proximity to New York City, and they...are...correct! And she doesn't just "show up." She SHOWS UP—with an entire entourage of celebs including Blake Lively, Sabrina Carpenter, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner, Antoni Porowski, and Hugh Jackman.
During the game, lip readers catch Taylor saying "look at him" and then "that's him" (presumably about Travis!) to her friends:

Taylor once again joins her soon-to-be-BFF Brittany Mahomes for game day (wearing Travis's jersey number on a bracelet, by the way):
And the pair break out a special handshake to slightly mixed reviews on social media:
Not the handshake!! 😂 🤝

Taylor is once again spotted chilling with Brittany Mahomes, and this very important series of photos are taken:
Lip readers catch Taylor yelling "C'MON TRAV!" which we can all agree is very charming:

Note: This particular appearance comes amid Travis gushing to WSJ Mag about Taylor, saying, "I've never been a man of words. Being around her, seeing how smart Taylor is, has been fucking mind-blowing. I'm learning every day. Obviously I've never dated anyone with that kind of aura about them…. I've never dealt with it. But at the same time, I'm not running away from any of it. The scrutiny she gets, how much she has a magnifying glass on her, every single day, paparazzi outside her house, outside every restaurant she goes to, after every flight she gets off, and she's just living, enjoying life. When she acts like that I better not be the one acting all strange."
December 10, 2023
Taylor—who is on a prolonged break from the Eras Tour—hits up the Chiefs vs. Bills game and is pumped per usual:
But also kinda serious (probably because the Chiefs lost this one, but we won't be discussing that further):
Either way, she and Travis ended the night with a party and a kiss that ended me, you, everyone.

And psst: This appearance comes right before Taylor's birthday, and right after she clarified her and Travis' timeline to TIME Magazine (while casually being named Person of the Year).
"This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell," she explains. "We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date."
Taylor also chats about being on camera during games, saying, "I don’t know how they know what suite I'm in. There's a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don’t know where it is, and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don't know if I’m being shown 17 times or once. I'm just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I'm being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads."
December 17, 2023
Taylor shows up to the Chiefs vs. Patriots game with her dad, Scott Swift, who is fully DECKED OUT in gear.
Also there? Brittany Mahomes, and Tay's close friends Ashley Avignone and Alana Haim, all of whom were PSYCHED.
Until Travis got pushed in the end zone and everyone let out a collective WTF:
WHAT THE FUCK! (Taylor’s Version)

Fun fact—this is also the game where Travis was spotted walking by a truly enormous poster of Tay:

It's Christmas Day, so naturally, Taylor shows up wearing a Santa hat—joined by her brother, Austin Swift, who is quite literally dressed in an entire Santa outfit, complete with a sack of presents. And yes, Taylor's hat has Travis's jersey number embroidered on it:
Brittany Mahomes wears a matching one, naturally:
New life goal = being driven around in a golf cart with Santa:
Also, here's a video if you want to see Santa in action:

And before we move on, here's Taylor triumphantly ringing a little gold bell:
Sadly for Chiefs fans, the team loses this game—and Travis says on his New Heights podcast that Christmas was "f*cking the worst," as a result—before adding: "But it ended well. It ended well with good Christmas cheer and great people. That's always gonna save Christmas no matter if you lose to the Raiders or not." One of those great people? Tay, we presume!
December 31, 2023
Taylor spends New Year's Eve at—where else?—yet another Chiefs game. And she shows up in what appears to be a custom jacket gifted by Trav:
Which, by the way, almost perfectly matches his own jacket:
Anyway, she spends her time at this game looking absolutely thrilled:
And more importantly, the duo heads to a NYE party after the game and they're spotted kissing in public, which is a pretty perfect way to enter 2024.
Extended video as it lasted much longer🙃😄pic.twitter.com/3bjDkEzLdy

Taylor supports Travis at the playoffs in absolutely frigid temperatures.

But she dresses up nice and cozy and bonds with fans:
Truly, I have never seen a group of people looking so cold:
January 21, 2024
The game where Taylor finallllly meets Travis's sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce, and his brother, Jason Kelce! The latter of whom decides to take off his shirt:
Jason actually speaks about this moment on New Heights, saying, "[Kylie] was already telling me to be on my best behavior because we were meeting Taylor. So she's like, 'Do not...be on your best behavior.' I was like, 'Kylie the first day I met you I was blacked out drunk and fell asleep in the bar. This is part of the charm. This is part of the Jason Kelce charm. I wanna make my best first impression, this is my best chance! Set the bar nice and low."
January 28, 2024
THE CHIEFS WIN THE AFC CHAMPIONSHIP. Which, good for them and whatever, but more importantly, Taylor joins Travis on the field for the first time ever and the photos (and videos!!!) are beyond words, so just gonna dump them here. (Yes, that's Travis crying in the first pic.):
Genuinely can no longer function, so see you at the Super Bowl.
