Taylor Swift kicked off the NFL postseason rooting for Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs in a playoff game against the Houston Texans.
The pop star, 35, supported the tight end, also 35, at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri during the divisional playoff game on Saturday (January 18) wearing a chic black mini dress with a pearl Chanel belt and a matching jacket. She completed her look with a coordinating Chanel handbag and her signature red lip.
Earlier this week, Kelce confirmed that Swift would be on the stand. “You know that, kid,” he said during the Monday, Jan. 13, episode of ESPN The Pat McAfee Show. “You know it’s playoff football, man.”
Kelce also referenced one of Swift’s most popular lyrics while sharing his excitement about the game. “I feel fired up,” he noted. “I’m feeling 22 again, baby. Let’s go.”
Saturday marked the Chiefs’ first playoff game of the 2024-2025 NFL season. After winning the title no. 1 in the AFL, the team earned home field advantage and a bye week for the wild card round, which took place last weekend. The Chiefs are vying for a three-peat after winning Super Bowls in 2023 and 2024. If they are successful, they will become the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls.
Swift has repeatedly appeared in person to cheer on Kelce throughout the Chiefs’ season. While she decided not to attend any road games during the regular season, she attended every home game except for a December 2024 game against the Los Angeles Chargers, which coincided with her final. Eras Tour concert in Vancouver.
Swift also played a big role in Kelce’s postseason last year, attending every Chiefs playoff game beginning in 2024. She braved the frigid temperatures in Kansas City as the Chiefs defeated the Miami Dolphins in the round wild card in January 2024. She then traveled to Buffalo, New York, to watch the Chiefs defeat the Buffalo Bills. After the team defeated the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game in Baltimore later that month, Swift celebrated with Kelce on the court at M&T Bank Stadium.
In February 2024, Swift made headlines when she traveled from Tokyo to Las Vegas to attend the Super Bowl amid her busy tour schedule. She joined Kelce once again on the field after the Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium, before the pair went on to celebrate publicly in Las Vegas with their friends and family after the win.
This year’s playoffs will continue with the conference championships on January 26th and the Super Bowl on February 9th.
