Taylor Swift Is ‘Feeling Fantastic’ After Chiefs Win, Leaves Game Holding Hands With Travis Kelce
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were riding high after the Kansas City Chiefs’ big win Thursday night (Sept. 5).
The 2024-25 football season kicked off with the team defeating the Baltimore Ravens 27-20 at Arrowhead Stadium, where the 34-year-old pop star was present to cheer on her favorite tight end alongside his family and friends in a box suite. Immediately afterward, Swift filmed a video with Chariah Gordon — who is engaged to wide receiver Mecole Hardman — celebrating the reigning Super Bowl champions carrying over their winning streak from last season.

“Post-game interview with Chariah,” the 14-time Grammy winner tells the camera in the clip, which was posted on Women of The NFL’s Instagram Story. “I’m feeling fantastic.”
After Kelce changed out of his uniform, he and Swift exited the stadium holding hands and smiling at fans who cheered as the couple walked past. The “So High School” singer sported a denim crop top and shorts paired with red thigh-high boots, while the 34-year-old athlete wore a white-to-brown ombre shirt-and-pants set.
Fans were happy to see Swift back at Arrowhead seven months after she last cheered on the Chiefs at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, laughing with Kelce’s parents and banging on the suite’s glass barrier with excitement. She’s currently on break from her global Eras Tour, on which the New Heights podcaster spent much of his offseason tagging along all over the world.
At one point, NFL cameras captured Swift celebrating one of Kelce’s plays by hugging his mom, Donna, and applauding with a big smile on her face.
The game came one day after Kelce’s reps slammed an “entirely false” media plan that circulated online this week, allegedly outlining the publicity strategy he has in place in case he and Swift ever break up. “We have engaged our legal team to initiate proceedings against the individuals or entities responsible for the unlawful and injurious forgery of documents,” one spokesperson continued in a statement to E! News, adding that the papers were “not created, issued, or authorized by this agency.”
Regardless, it doesn’t seem like a breakup is coming any time soon for the couple, as Kelce gushed about his significant other in a recent interview with CBS Mornings. “It’s the life I chose, I guess,” he said of being known as Swift’s arm candy. “I have fun with it. It comes with the territory of wanting to do fun activities like this.”
