Taylor Swift stuns at Arrowhead, roots for Chiefs to beat Bills in AFC Championship

Taylor Swift walked the Arrowhead Stadium tunnel for the final time of the 2024-2025 football season on Sunday.

Videos showed the singer arriving about 90 minutes before kickoff. A golf cart drove the Eras Tour star through the field tunnel where flashing lights captured high-resolution photos of her outfit.

Swift wore a bold red lip and walked the tunnel in a Louis Vuitton black and gold beanie, zip-up jacket and trunk chain wallet. Swift rounded out the look with a black skirt, red tights and low black boots.

Swift — along with her mom, Andrea, dad, Scott, and brother, Austin — is supporting her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, in the AFC championship game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills. The winner will head to the Super Bowl in New Orleans on Feb. 9.

A history of home games, a dash of good luck

The Chiefs clinching the No. 1 spot in the AFC division — ensuring a home field advantage — could not have worked out better for Swift. This season, she's only touched down at home games where she is familiar with the Arrowhead staff and security.

Superstitious Swifties believe the 35-year-old is good luck. They've coined the term Tayvoodoo, crediting Swift with being a sorcerer.

The team is 8-0 with her in the crowd this season:

  • Sept. 5: Chiefs beat the Ravens 27-20

  • Sept. 15: Chiefs beat the Bengals 26-25

  • Oct. 7: Chiefs beat the Saints 26-13

  • Nov. 4: Chiefs beat the Buccaneers 30-24

  • Nov. 10: Chiefs beat the Broncos 16-14

  • Nov. 29: Chiefs beat the Raiders 19-17

  • Dec. 21: Chiefs beat the Texans 27-19

  • Jan. 18: Chiefs beat the Texans 23-14

And last year, Kansas City had a record of 10-3 with Swift on site.

But the Buffalo Bills are looking to edge out the red-and-gold. The team beat Kansas in Buffalo 30-21 on Nov. 17. Although Swift was a 40-minute flight away in Toronto for the Eras Tour, she didn't make the trip to the away game.

AFC championship Part 2?

If the Chiefs pull off a win against the Bills, Swift may make her way down to the field to congratulate Kelce like she did last year in Baltimore. Fans remember her embracing the tight end in a red sweater on the field post-game.
