Taylor Swift spent Christmas Day cheering on her boyfriend Travis Kelce as his Kansas City Chiefs took on the Las Vegas Raiders, though the team ended up losing a close game.
Taylor Arrives in Style to Arrowhead Stadium
The superstar singer arrived at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City with her mother Andrea, brother Austin dressed as Santa Claus, and friends before kickoff on Christmas afternoon. Footage captured Swift stepping out of a luxury van wearing a Chiefs jersey with Kelce’s number 87 on it along with a Santa hat, happily waving to fans.
“Taylor was all smiles heading into the stadium and seemed excited for the game,” an eyewitness told E! News. “She was greeted by Travis’ family when she got there and everyone seemed ready for a great holiday together.”

The hitmaker watched the critical AFC West matchup from a private suite along with Kelce’s inner circle and family, including his mother Donna and teammate Patrick Mahomes’ wife Brittany. At one point, Swift was spotted intently viewing the game while sporting headphones and a competitive grin.
Chiefs Fall Short Despite Swift’s Presence
Kelce put on an impressive performance with 4 catches for 34 yards while wearing special red and green Christmas cleats. However, Kansas City struggled against their division rivals, ultimately losing a tight game by a score of 30-29.
As the game wound down, TV cameras showed a disappointed Swift clapping for Kelce and the Chiefs despite the loss. She then headed down to the field to meet with Travis and comfort a tearful Brittany Mahomes.
“Taylor consoled her friends but you could tell she was feeling the hurt of the loss too,” noted an insider. “She and Travis held hands as they left the stadium, they both seemed gutted.”

Some fans on social media blamed Swift’s presence as a distraction, comparing it to an infamous “curse” often placed on athletes’ partners. However, Donna Kelce shut down the chatter when asked about it after the game.
“Taylor got some heat but she’s been nothing but a good luck charm for our family,” Kelce’s outspoken mother told reporters. “Her and Travis’ love is the real deal.”
Holiday Plans Together Seemingly Intact
Despite the Chiefs’ holiday hiccup, insiders say Swift intends to spend more time in Kansas City supporting Kelce over the coming days. Sources at Arrowhead spotted the chart-topper’s parents and brother settling into the area and getting cozy with the KC tight end’s family.
“Andrea and Scott Swift hit it off with Donna straight away, everyone’s gets along famously,” said an eyewitness. “With the teams’s next game less than a week away you can expect Taylor and the rest of the gang will be back again soon.”
Swift’s surprise NFL Christmas cameo caps off a monumental year for the singer professionally and personally. Her record-breaking October album “Midnights” cemented Swift as a global icon, coinciding with her blossoming relationship with NFL superstar Travis Kelce becoming serious.
“Taylor seems smitten with Travis and happy to embrace Chiefs kingdom full on during their magical run,” US Weekly’s insider remarked. “While this loss stings, she remains Travis’ number one fan and doting girlfriend.”
What’s Next: Chiefs Look Ahead to Key Final Stretch
Despite missing a major opportunity versus Las Vegas, Kansas City remains in strong position as playoffs approach with an 11-4 record. Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have established themselves as elite talents under head coach Andy Reid’s leadership. Now the team faces their arch-rivals the Broncos in an away game on January 1st.
Swift has made it known through friends she intends to keep attending Kelce and the Chief’s biggest games this season, including potential playoff and Super Bowl appearances. Though based in Nashville, she has arrangements in place to jet set across America showing her fandom for boyfriend Travis.

“Make no mistake, Taylor is all in with Travis and the Chiefs playoff run,” says an E! News source. “She knows how much football means to him and will rearrange her plans around the biggest games. Taylor wants to experience a Super Bowl together.”
Beneath the hoopla surrounding Swift’s public support lies a genuinely affectionate courtship built on common bonds between the music icon and gridiron great. Kelce himself has mused it’s a “match made it heaven” that brings joy amid chaotic careers.
Come January fans can expect more head-turning Taylor x Travis moments with championship hopes in the balance. For now despite holiday heartbreak, Swift remains committed to her number one and Kansas City’s Super Bowl dreams.
