Taylor Swift, 33, returned to the stands to support Travis Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs in their game against the Denver Broncos after having missed the previous match-up. On Thursday, October 12, the pop star was seen arriving at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, donning a black ensemble inspired by her album, Reputation, along with matching boots. Showing her solidarity with the 34-year-old tight end, Swift sported a Chief's bomber jacket and her iconic red lipstick, while keeping her hair casually styled in a ponytail.
Swift did not participate in Kelce's away game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, October 8. Despite the team's 27-20 victory, Kelce suffered an ankle injury after slipping on the turf at U.S. Bank Stadium in the second quarter. He returned to the game and even scored a touchdown, but his injury raised doubts about his availability for the upcoming match against the Broncos, despite his continued practice leading up to it.
Prior to the game, Chiefs coach Andy Reid provided an update on Kelce's condition. "He has received extensive treatment and is feeling better, which is positive," he stated in a press conference on Tuesday, October 10. "I will assess his movement and how he feels. He has always been honest with me about such matters, so we will see how he progresses."

As Kelce has been recuperating from his injury, Swift has been diligently preparing for the debut of her Eras Tour concert film. She graced the red carpet at the film's premiere on Wednesday, October 11, causing a commotion at The Grove in Los Angeles as she interacted with fans and enjoyed the movie alongside them in theaters. To accommodate the overwhelming demand, she also took to Instagram to announce that she would be offering early access showings on Thursday.
Swift and Kelce have managed to make time for regular meet-ups despite their busy schedules. She created a frenzy when she attended his home game against the Chicago Bears on September 24. One week later, she once again showed her support for him as his team faced the New York Jets in New Jersey. On this occasion, she brought along her A-list friends, including Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and Sophie Turner, who rooted for Kelce from a private suite.
We exclusively revealed that Swift flew to Kansas City on Friday, October 6, "to see Travis," just one day after he celebrated his birthday. On the same day as Swift's visit, Kelce expressed to reporters that he felt even more on top of the world than when he won the Super Bowl in February.
