Whenever pop star Taylor Swift shows up to support boyfriend Travis Kelce and his Kansas City Chiefs, it’s usually a good omen. The Chiefs are 18-3 when Swift attends their games, including 8-0 this season. Swift also appears to be the team’s good-luck charm in the playoffs. With her in attendance, they knocked off the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens (AFC championship game) and San Francisco 49ers (Super Bowl) last postseason, and they held off the Houston Texas 23-14 in Saturday’s divisional-round matchup, which put Kansas City in the AFC championship game for the seventh straight season.
Swift went viral on social media a few times during the game – once for her whole family showing up clad in Chiefs gear, and a few other times after Kelce made a big first-down catch and when she celebrated his fourth-quarter touchdown. Fans got a small glimpse of what the couple did after the game ended as photos of the two made their way onto social media, and now thanks to a new report from the Daily Mail, fans now know how Kelce and Swift celebrated the big win. “Insiders claim that Swift and Kelce managed to have a few hours alone together while her private jet took her parents, Scott and Andrea, back home to Nashville,” the Daily Mail reported. “She seemed on top of the world as she celebrated her boyfriend’s success at Arrowhead but turned tail back to New York on Monday before he returns to practice.”
With this year’s AFC championship game being held in Kansas City, there’s a good chance Swift will be at this weekend’s game as well. However, she chose not to stick around and be a possible distraction for Kelce as she flew back to New York for the week, according to the Daily Mail, before presumably flying back to Kansas City on Sunday for the AFC championship game, which kicks off at 6:30 p.m. EST.
Swift voluntarily keeping her distance during before the Chiefs’ most important game of the season is an example of the kind of support Kelce boasted about during a recent appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.” “That’s the beauty of being in a very strong relationship is that you get that support to be able to come in and focus on your craft, focus on being the best version of you,” Kelce said. “…I think I’m as focused as I’ve ever been on my job and being the best player that I could possibly be week in, week out for this team. It’s because I don’t have to worry about things off the field.”
