Taylor Swift solidified her standing as an NFL fan by showing support for Travis Kelce at his Kansas City Chiefs game against the Buffalo Bills. The 33-year-old singer was seen at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri on Sunday, December 10 in a video captured by a fan. In another clip from inside the stadium, she was spotted sporting black knee-high boots with tights, a black mini skirt, and a black and red Chiefs sweatshirt.
Swift made her debut cheering on Kelce in September. Despite missing some games due to her touring schedule, she returned to the stands on December 3 to support the Chiefs against the Green Bay Packers. Although the team had been victorious with Swift in attendance, they ended up losing to the Packers with a final score of 19-27.
Kelce first expressed his interest in Swift in July during their "New Heights" podcast, where he mentioned attempting to give her a friendship bracelet at her concert in Kansas City. The rumors of romance gained momentum in September when Swift accepted Travis' invitation to watch him play at Arrowhead Stadium.
Earlier this week, Swift provided further details about the timeline of her relationship with Travis. In her TIME Person of the Year cover story, she mentioned that it all began when Travis charmingly featured her on his podcast, which she found to be incredibly cool. She also revealed that they started spending time together shortly after that.

Swift and Travis developed a strong private connection before deciding to publicly take the next step. "We had a significant amount of time that no one knew about, which I appreciate, because we were able to really get to know each other," she explained. "By the time I attended my first game visit, we were already a couple. I think some people assumed that our first date was at that game? But we wouldn't be crazy enough to have our first date be a hard launch like that."
Despite their busy schedules, Travis made time during the Chiefs' bye week in November to travel to Argentina for one of Swift's concerts, where he watched from the VIP tent with her father, Scott Swift.

Taylor explained to TIME that a public relationship means openly supporting each other and not caring who sees, while making a relationship private requires effort to keep it concealed. She also brushed off any criticism about the coverage of her at Travis' games, stating that she is simply there to support him and is unconcerned about any negative opinions.
