Taylor Swift made her first broadcast appearance of the NFL season on October 12, as she cheered on her fiancé Travis Kelce at Arrowhead Stadium during the Kansas City Chiefs’ game against the Detroit Lions. The pop superstar was spotted in a suite alongside Kelce’s parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, and WNBA sensation Caitlin Clark, a longtime Chiefs fan.
NBC’s Sunday Night Football cameras captured Swift joyfully embracing her future father-in-law, with her dazzling engagement ring clearly visible. The moment marked her first televised presence at a Chiefs game this season, although PEOPLE confirmed she had quietly attended previous matchups against the Ravens and Eagles.
Swift and Kelce announced their engagement on August 26 in a joint Instagram post, captioned with the playful line: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨.” The post featured photos from their floral-filled garden proposal and was set to her song “So High School,” widely believed to be inspired by their relationship.
The Chiefs, coming off a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on October 6, were hoping to regain momentum. Swift’s appearance added extra sparkle to the game, as fans celebrated her support for Kelce and the team.
Sources close to the couple say they plan to keep their wedding private and intimate, focusing on close friends and family rather than a public spectacle. With Swift’s Eras Tour winding down and Kelce deep into the NFL season, the couple continues to balance fame with personal connection — and their love story is unfolding in front of millions.
