Ryan Reynolds, 46, revealed the vibrant atmosphere in Taylor Swift's VIP box during the controversial October 1 Kansas City Chiefs game. Accompanied by his wife Blake Lively, as well as fellow celebrities Hugh Jackman and many others, Reynolds described the enjoyable experience and the excitement generated by Swift and her entourage.
Reynolds was amazed at how much interest in the sport has escalated due to Swift's presence at Travis Kelce's games. He compared the current level of enthusiasm to what is typically seen only during the Super Bowl. Despite it being only the fourth or fifth game of the year, the excitement is already palpable. Swift caused quite a stir on September 24 when she attended the Chiefs' game at Arrowhead Stadium to support Kelce and his team against the Chicago Bears. She enjoyed the game with Kelce's friends and his mother Donna Kelce in a suite, and later departed in Travis' convertible.
“Major props to Taylor for showing up,” Travis exclaimed on his highly popular “New Heights” podcast following the game, which captivated an astounding audience of over 24 million viewers. “That was incredibly courageous.”
Taylor Swift, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Hugh Jackman, along with a star-studded entourage including Sabrina Carpenter and Sophie Turner, once again ignited a frenzy as they joined forces at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium one week later. This electrifying gathering resulted in a remarkable surge in ratings, with the game attracting nearly 30 million viewers at its peak.
Swift's growing connection with Travis has elevated both him and his older brother Jason Kelce to a higher level of fame. Even their mother is now receiving attention from the public. The siblings recently talked about Donna's exciting experience with Swift and her famous friends in Hollywood on their podcast "New Heights."
"She's been absolutely thriving, man. ... She even expressed her gratitude to me because she felt like she was in a different realm," Travis shared. "She was sitting beside Deadpool and Wolverine... it was like being in a whole new dimension."

He went on to say, "It was a highly coveted experience. ... Word has it that everyone had a great time in that suite."
Donna, on the other hand, has been on a hectic media tour, including an appearance on the Today show on October 6th. When asked about her conversation with Swift at MetLife on game day, Donna tried to remain tight-lipped.
"I'm just keeping an eye on the game," she playfully stated. "Honestly, my main focus is watching my kids. I'm fully invested in their activities, keeping track of the score and all the exciting moments."
When queried about Travis' romantic life, the proud mother chose to remain mysterious, stating, "To be honest, I don't have much information. It's a relatively new development."
