Taylor Swift returned to Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday to cheer on her husband, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, as the team defeated the New York Jets 35-12.
Swift watched the Week 9 matchup from a luxury suite alongside her parents, Andrea and Scott Swift, and Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce. She was also joined by longtime friend and supermodel Karlie Kloss, marking a rare public appearance together for the two stars, Variety reported.
A reunion and a milestone on the field
The public outing between Swift and Kloss was their first together in years, according to Variety. The pair originally formed a friendship in the early 2010s, co-starring in music videos and appearing together on a 2015 magazine cover before their shared public appearances became less frequent. Kloss previously attended Swift’s Eras Tour concert in Los Angeles in August 2023, and she was among the attendees when Swift and Kelce married at Madison Square Garden on July 3, Billboard reported.
During Sunday’s contest, Kelce marked his 200th career NFL appearance. The veteran tight end recorded four receptions for 72 yards and scored on a rushing touchdown, his third score of the season and his first touchdown since a Sept. 27 contest against the Miami Dolphins, The Big Lead reported.
Swift, wearing a red Tommy Hilfiger sweater paired with a necklace displaying Kelce’s jersey number 87, stood and cheered as officials confirmed the ruling on the scoring play, according to The Big Lead.
Chiefs rebound after back-to-back road defeats
Sunday’s victory helped Kansas City bounce back from consecutive road losses. The Chiefs had fallen 20-3 to the Seattle Seahawks on Oct. 25 and dropped a 28-24 division matchup to the Denver Broncos the following week, the New York Post reported.
Against the Jets, Kansas City broke open a close contest by outscoring New York 21-0 in the second half. The home victory kept the Chiefs undefeated at Arrowhead Stadium this season with a 3-0 record on their home field, according to the New York Post and The Big Lead.
Swift has maintained a regular presence in Kansas City this fall, attending every Chiefs home contest so far during the campaign, the New York Post reported. Her earlier visits included a Sept. 14 matchup against Denver, where she sat with actor Tom Cruise, and an Oct. 18 win over the Los Angeles Chargers alongside basketball star Caitlin Clark and musician Este Haim, according to Billboard.
What comes next for Kansas City
Despite Sunday’s lopsided victory, the Chiefs remain in second place in the AFC West behind the Broncos, who also won their Sunday contest, The Big Lead reported.
Kansas City will have an opportunity to pull even with Denver in the divisional standings next week. The Broncos will be on a bye, while the Chiefs travel to face the Atlanta Falcons on the road.
