Taylor Swift cheered for Travis Kelce & the Chiefs in below-freezing temps

Taylor Swift turned up at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on Saturday to watch her man. Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs won their Playoff game against the Miami Dolphins in front of a crowd of… hundreds, maybe. The reason why barely any fans came out was because of the frigid temperatures. At the kickoff, the temperature within the stadium was minus-four degrees Fahrenheit. When Travis rolled up at the stadium in his designer gear, you could see his breath. Why wasn’t he wearing gloves, a scarf or a hat???

As for Taylor, she wore new Chiefs gear for the game – a jacket specially made by Kristin Jusczcyk, made from Travis’s jersey. Apparently, she made it for Taylor and got it to Tay through Brittany Mahomes. Taylor really enjoyed herself in the cold too – she was cheering, laughing and dancing to “Swag Surf.”

And finally, after the Chiefs won the game, Travis and Taylor held hands as they left the stadium. She’s in love. For now.

    Not sure what game you watched, but there were more than “hundreds.” The place was rocking from what it appeared on TV. This jacket she wore was amazing. I feel like she’s embracing her inner college girl that she never got to be.

    • Krista says:

      Agreed. The middle section looked empty but those were the seats for the boxes I believe. I’d be inside the box with a warm drink too!

      It’s killing me watching the old white men lose their shit over the fact that she was shown what? Maybe 3-4 times? For a few seconds at a time? And then they cheer seeing Eminem at the Lions game the next day.

      • sunny says:

        Truly wild. I thought they were a lot more careful in showing her which honestly was the league showing more restraint that usual. Also, it was insane the NFL sold the rights to stream this game to NBC Peacock so it wasn’t on tv. Way to hose the fans! I’m an NFL fan but in Canada so I could easily watch it on tv.

        Brittany and Taylor were wearing matching jackets which their men’s numbers and names on them. It was super WAG official.

        Bless the fans out there in the cold. It looked fun but definitely a little chilly.

      • Bean says:

        Tony Dungy is getting all the headlines for saying that Taylor is bringing down the NFL. Which is beyond ridiculous considering she just started going to games THIS SEASON.
        George Takai said it best “why are they so scared of her?”

    • Kirsten says:

      This. There were obviously fewer folks than there would’ve been if the weather had been better, but both the lower and upper decks had A LOT of people.

    • Lisa says:

      Totally agree @SarahLee, I think she is having the time of her life because she never really got to do this, I mean she sort of had a normal high school experience but high school sports are stupid.

      She didn’t go to college and as an adult she couldn’t just go to a came and cheer on a team. Now she can and you can see she is just like my god this normal stuff is so incredibly fun. I mean you can see her being pulled back in when she is giving high “fours” because she is so excited.

      Why this enrages people I don’t know she is literally not doing anything different from any one else.

      I think it is nice to see someone who didn’t really get to have that normal life experience enjoy it. And not for nothing other suites have shot video of her cleaning up her suite so the staff doesn’t have to, which is more than most fans can say.

    • Bean says:

      The stadium was damn near filled – the middle row is the ‘club/box’ level and most of those people were inside!

      • Agreatreckoning says:

        Arrowhead fans were there. Numbers are 76k in attendance along with those that were just tailgating.

  2. smegmoria says:

    I’m sure his equipment can stand up to below zero tempuratures.

    • Normades says:

      I dunno I have leather pants and they are cold. I hope he was wearing some long underwear to keep that tight end warm.

  3. Brassy Rebel says:

    Air temperature is one thing. Wind chill made it feel like -40.

  4. StillDouchesOfCambridge says:

    the new beckhams

  5. Beech says:

    “For now.”😏😂

    • Normades says:

      There was a really bad article in life & style (I think) that said he was super surly after his recent loses. Life and Style has no insider tips but some were speculating that the break up narrative was already being set.

    • LM says:

      I stumbled over that while reading. It’s unnecessarily mean.

      She’s happy. He’s happy. Perhaps a little less cynicism in 2024? And dare I hope, more kindness? It’s really not that hard.

  6. Libra says:

    “She’s in love. For now.” That comment right there describes TS to a ” T.”

    • Robert Phillips says:

      Look I don’t know whether their in love or not. But I have known that Taylor is great at PR. period. And I am sure she is loving the fact that she doesn’t have to do much to keep her name and face in the press right now. She’s still pushing the end of her tour. And the movie for it. Plus the new Taylor version of the album. And all she has to do is go to some ball games. And then go out later to dinner. With what seems like a nice guy. Is she even doing talk shows right now?

      • ActualLawyer says:

        “… end of her tour” – she’s about to do dozens of dates worldwide for the next 12 months. I’m not sure she needs any PR, but she definitely doesn’t have to sit in below-freezing temperatures to get it.

      • Julie says:

        Tons of negativity toward her because she’s encouraging voter registration, geared toward choice. Only one party encourages choice.

        Many are threatened by women voting for their best interests.

    • Lolo86lf says:

      Tay Tay is a bit older now. She is more mature than she has ever been. She may been a little flighty in her 20’s but now she is giving signs of growing up. I say let’s cut her some slack please.

      • February pisces says:

        I don’t think she’s matured at all. I thought she may have grown up during the joe years, but now she’s reverted back to how she was before him. I think she’s permanently stuck in high school. We seem to forget that 5 minutes ago she was parading matty healey around the same way.

      • Lemons says:

        The horrendous crushed velvet green dress with awful thigh high snakeskin boots told me she has not matured one bit if she needs to go to these lengths for “easter eggs”. But I’m glad she’s having fun. She doesn’t have to get serious, but this guy seems like a good fit for what she has historically valued in life…She gets a set of girlfriends among the WAGs…a guy who literally watches her every step and built in fans when she’s with her man and solo.

    • Lisa says:

      This is actually truly gross. What has Tswift done different from most people? She has dated and broken up with guys while in her teens and 20s, is that not normal? It is what I did. Does the literal 6 years relationship that just didn’t work because they weren’t right in the long run somehow mean she never had genuine feelings.

      The “for now” is sexist, demeaning and gross and I love how this supposed pro women, minority and LGBTQIA site is all those things but only if you are worthy of being supported.

      • Bean says:

        I agree – I thought that little addendum was snarky, cruel and unnecessary.

      • Goldenkatz says:

        I’m with you. I really admire her for how she’s managed her career and like how close she is to her family. Glad she’s finally with a guy who’s proud of her and happy to seen out and about with.

        And I find the anti-Taylor commentary excessive and cruel.

      • February pisces says:

        I don’t think the ‘for now’ comment was sexist, but more of an observation of Taylor’s dating pattern.

        I knew a girl like Taylor, whenever she had a boyfriend she would be completely over the top obsessed with them, declaring her ‘undying love’ and how this relationship was ‘different’. Whenever the boyfriend would break up with this girl, she would immediately find someone new and once again become obsessed and declare her undying love for them to the whole world. The old boyfriends were forgotten about almost immediately. This would happen time and time again.

        It wasn’t just about being in a relationship, but putting it on show for everyone to see it. Like her self worth was directly connected to her relationship status.

        Anyway I can see the same pattern with Taylor, I think the only exception was probably joe. If your with someone that long you don’t just get over them overnight.

      • Elo says:

        I agree. Dating men is what the 20s are about. There is nothing wrong with dating around. The anti- Taylor vitriol here is largely unwarranted.

      • Lemons says:

        Explain how this is sexist or misogynistic, please. I really need commenters to think before hitting “Submit” on some of these comments.

      • Kelsey says:

        “The “for now” is sexist, demeaning and gross and I love how this supposed pro women, minority and LGBTQIA site is all those things but only if you are worthy of being supported.”

        Spare me. “For now” has BEEN said on this website (and many other websites) about ANY celebrity that shows they’re a serial dater. “I love love” types are fine, it is what it is, but there will be jokes! A lot of reporting on Taylor IS unfair but people joking on the fact that she’s in and out of love like a lot of other humans is not sexist. We know this to be fact because SHE sings and speaks on this.

        Blaming her for Chiefs loses because she’s there in the audience supporting her man is sexist. Saying “for now” about her love life is GOSSIP. Surprise!

      • Lisa says:

        @February I think you are projecting a bit and forgetting that a large swath of these relationships that got songs and dramatic stuff were when she was a literal TEENAGER. She was in high school so of course she was dramatic and thought it was forever.

        By the time she was 19 she was being groomed by a predator named John Mayer and got out of that and called him out, but I am thinking that was probably her first real adult behavior type experience. Then she goes to Jake which again quite a bit older than her and I think she hadn’t had a real healthy adult relationship and this was her first sort of one so she probably read more into than she should have but she was 20. Then it was Harry Styles which she is pretty clear was a mess on both their parts. But at no point did she ever give off this vibe like it defined her. She was with Calvin Harris for like two years and we know nothing about that situation, and Joe for 6.

        So yeah her first three albums all written before the age of 20 were a bit dramatic about love and her boyfriends but you are projecting all these she defines herself by her men, when Taylor has made it pretty clear for a long ass time she knows she is Taylor Swift and she isn’t sitting in the corner for anyone. Which seems to have been the problem for a lot of these guys.

        Like nothing about her behavior other than we know about is abnormal. This is what people in their teens and 20s do. She dated in her social circle, her circle just happens to be other famous people so it is a little more interesting them mine.

        @Lemon you aren’t even worth responding stay bitter.

      • February pisces says:

        I think with Taylor it’s not just about her songs, or the fact she’s had a lot of relationships, she can do whatever she wants with her love life. Taylor very much needs to show the world she’s ‘in love’ in an excessive over the top way and has done this several times (remember Tom hiddlestons I heart Taylor swift t shirt). Similar to other people I know who do the same thing, it all comes down to their insecurities. They place their self worth on being in a relationship and when they are with someone, they need everyone to see it. Being single even for a minute isn’t an option.

        I personally think she’s still reeling from joe, which is understandable.

  7. Snuffles says:

    Taylor is clearly having a blast being a football girlfriend. Love the custom jacket. It was super cute.

    • Normades says:

      That is a very very nice jacket

      • 49erFan says:

        Kristen Juszczyk made a vest for Simone Biles too. She’s the wife of 49ers Fullback Kyle Juszczyk and has making outfits for a while now. She’s adorable and you should check out her instagram. We love her and her husband in the bay

  8. Harper says:

    The upper deck had more empty seats than the lower. I can imagine the wind temps up there were even deadlier.

  9. Jilly says:

    Yes! Not sure what game either! Chiefs fans always come out and I see where over 76,000 people where there- some not wearing shirts lol! I love the jackets so much! I’m hoping the woman that makes them explodes now!!

    • Marley says:

      I checked out her site, and I really like her designs and her story. She’s got such a great message, “It’s never too late in life to rediscover a passion or talent.”

    • Lisa says:

      She is some player on the 49ers wife Kristen something and it was so cute I guess the 49ers didn’t play so under literally EVERY post about Taylor doing anything he was talking about how his wife made the jacket. I was like find a man that loves and hypes you like that

  10. Barb says:

    It’s Kristin Juszczyk. Writing Juszczyk ain’t as easy as it seems 😅

  11. Callie says:

    I love everything about this! I understand the “she’s in love for now” sentiment but this relationship has always given off “it’s different” vibes to me as someone who has loved her music since I was 17 (we are close in age) and observed her relationships throughout the years. She seems happier than ever and putting herself out there and making a statement in ways that are different than the past.

    All that said, I just read what feels like a planted negative story about them. And while I don’t believe it’s from Taylor’s camp, I think it’s indicative of how difficult it could be for them to make it when there’s going to be a relentless onslaught of negativity from media (and even some “fans”) in the coming weeks and months. IF they are really in love and committed – and they are the only ones who know that – I hope they can tune out the noise.

    • Robert Phillips says:

      My opinion for what it’s worth. Taylor always went out with other singers or actors. And I get that in those fields you have to constantly keep your name out there. If you lose the public’s attention for a little while it’s hard to get it back. And whether you love or hate Taylors music. You have to give her credit for her pr game. Well with Travis. She doesn’t have to do any papparazzi stunts to keep her face in the press. She just has to go to the games. Plus he also seems to revel in the publicity. So they both blow up even bigger. Without having to do anything other than their day jobs. So even though she’s bigger than she ever has been. She’s probably working a lot less at that end of if. Giving her time to actually have a good time.

    • AprilUnderwater says:

      I completely agree that this one feels “different”, and I think it is wholly on who Travis is as a person and a celebrity. He seems just so sure of himself, of his talent, of his masculinity, of his fame, that there is no room in his brain for jealousy. Like, every other public relationship TS has had, the guy just gives off these “Don’t call me TS’s boyfriend!” vibes – like there is a visible level of resentment there that being with her usually does more to lift their profile than their actual talent/job (which is hardly her fault…).

      Travis just seems like “Fk yeah, I am all this AND I bagged TS! That’s MY woman right there!” I think (in addition to being super into her) that to him, she is his prize, not his competition.

  12. Louise177 says:

    Taylor was in a suite not in the stands. So it wasn’t as if she was suffering with the fans.
    I know it’s an unpopular opinion but as a basketball fan I would be annoyed if half the time was devoted to covering Taylor instead of the game. It’s not about white men attacking a woman for the most part but sports fans being angry at taking a back seat to a celebrity who is just the girlfriend of a player. Regardless it’s Taylor Swift.

    • Callie says:

      At this point, they really don’t spend that much time on her. In the first games, they cut to her more frequently, but lately it’s been pretty sparse (to the point where her fans have wanted to see her MORE 🤣). They usually just show her reaction after Travis makes a big play or at the end.

    • Robert Phillips says:

      You do understand that football and baseball are drinking sports don’t you. They play for maybe a minute. And then reset for four or five minutes. That’s a lot of free time to kill. That’s why they sell so much beer at the games. So the camera’s are always looking for something to show while the players are in the huddle. And she makes a good one. That’s why football has cheerleaders also. Something to look at for all that time.

    • Michelle says:

      @louise177 I see your point but TS cannot sit in the stands. Taylor can’t live life like a normal person bc at her level of fame (and as a woman) she can’t leave the house without bodyguards. It’s the price of her fame that most people would hate. Taylor has dealt with dangerous stalkers and would be impossible to guard in the stands. Now that it’s an election year and she’s helping Biden, the MAGAs will be gunning for her.

    • NotSoSocialB says:

      Sports events cut to celebs in attendance- think LA NBA games.

    • MaryContrary says:

      I watched most of the second half. I only saw them show and mention her one time. I think the OTT attention on her has died down.

    • Lisa says:

      Never watched a laker home game I take it? Because my god they show ever celeb in the building, same with the knicks.

      And in the 90s they would literally give a play by play of Jack Nickleson’s reactions to anything and lets be real even at his peak he was a literal nobody compared to Taylor

    • Lemons says:

      A football game is played slowly and in spurts…There’s plenty of time for commentary and a few camera shots of Taylor Swift…if you were in the stadium, you would have even less commentary and more crowd shots…I think it’s okay. At home…it’s commentary, less crowd shots and a TON of commercial breaks.

    • Kelsey says:

      It IS annoying as a football fan, but I don’t fault Taylor at all. It’s the NFL who went full force broadcasting her every movement/breath for half the season, making memes and carrying on on their Sunday talk shows, but soon as the fan outcry over oversaturation started getting too loud they wanted to walk it back and act soooo confuseddd that she’s getting all this attention.

    • Dutch says:

      The times they cut to her the most was late in the second half and the game and the Dolphins were done for. What she was doing was way more interesting than anything that was happening on the field at that point.

  13. Ameerah M says:

    She’s in love…until she gets bored.

  14. JaneS says:

    I have hit max level of Taylor and the NFL player coverage.

    In my head, I keep thinking the PR coverage is as if John Lennon was dating an NFL player.
    Yes, hugely successful pop star dates NFL player. After the NFL season ends this year, I hope the constant PR dials way back.

    I don’t see these 2 long distance. 2 celebs in 1 marriage does not generally work out.
    And Travis, is gonna having trouble after he leaves NFL.

  15. Mariana says:

    Goodness-so many salty Celebitches today.

    Y’all okay?

    • Lucy says:

      For real! Look, I love my husband so much, but if he wanted me to come sit in sub zero temps for 4 hours, I’d pass.
      She could get more attention from wearing at shirt with a snake on it walking from the car into a restaurant.

      We watched the game, they cut to her maybe 4 times. The window to the suite was open because otherwise you couldn’t see out, which is how you know there’s commitment involved. It couldn’t have been much warmer in the suite with the window open like that. I hope they’re having fun, and I do think this is end game.

  16. Catwoman says:

    I was a WAG for two years when my then BF played professional hockey. The fan club made buttons with the players picture on them that they sold along with other merchandise. We were “strongly encouraged” to wear our man’s button by management and I did it but hated it. It seemed so juvenile. That jacket strikes me the same way; like wearing your BF’s jacket in HS.

    • NotSoSocialB says:

      She did have a song abt comparing herself to a cheerleader while she was in sneakers or on the bleachers, I don’t exactly recall (my daughter loved 1989 when it was released, I think that was the source album). It’s like this is the polar opposite of that stage of her life. She also makes references to being unpopular and bullied in school, it’s not hard to understand why she embraces this. Maybe it’s healing in some way. 🤷🏼‍♀️

  17. Charlotte says:

    The fact that he can get back into those pants, and walk out of the stadium after the pounding they all took on the frozen field (not that I could watch it, fuck P**cock) — is either a testament to his pain tolerance, or toughness, or both. I know guys still crippled up from playing Big 10, much less Pro …
    I’m rooting for them. She genuinely looks like she’s having a gas at the games, and it must just be FUN to get to hang out with new people, who are used to fame, and get to be a part of something BIG that’s not necessarily about you.

  18. Renee' says:

    Uhhh..KC’er here and there were way more than hundreds at the game. I had few friends go to the game and they said it was as crowded as usual. Go Chiefs!!!

  19. Mandy says:

    I’m 65 and a new fan of Taylor Swift. Never been a football fan but I love The Kelce brothers and their family! I am all in and I hope this is the real long term deal because I love them as a couple! XOXO

  20. JaneS says:

    Both Kelse brothers are good players in the NFL. I like Jason and his wife more. Very solid family and he does tons of charity work.

    Travis is successful in his own career, so that might help if they are heading into long term togetherness. Low chance of his being Mr. Swift. He has an Ego for certain.
    Still think this in 85% PR vs. real love.

    • sunny says:

      Jason is so awesome. Both brothers will probably be in the NFL hall of fame because they are both top 10- top 15 all time at there positions.

      Travis does a ton of charity work much like Jason. I think both have pretty strong values. Not sure if Travis and Taylor will last but who cares, they seem really happy right now. It is fun to watch, especially when the league was falling all over itself to promote the relationship.

  21. QuiteContrary says:

    Look, none of us knows the real truth about Taylor Swift’s life and her relationship with Travis Kelce. We don’t know if they’ll go the distance, or if they’ll break up. (I’m rooting for them because, as I’ve said repeatedly, Jason Kelce’s best man speech will be epic. GO, BIRDS.)

    But I’m with the commenters who are weary of the Taylor-bashing. She got 35,000 people to register to vote on one day in 2023 — for that alone, I appreciate her. She’s not a saint; she’s certainly not above criticism (Matt Healy, ugh); but she’s a 34-year-old woman who’s mostly using her power for good. And that clearly terrifies some men — which delights me as a feminist.

    (Today, I’m reserving my anger for the white politicians who are misquoting MLK and pretending he’d support their hateful policies.)

    • February pisces says:

      The problem that I have with Taylor is that a lot of her music is ‘revenge’ based, which to me isn’t a positive message for young people. I get she’s speaking to high school kids who want revenge on their crush who’s dumped them and get the ‘underdog’ mentality. But Taylor isn’t the underdog anymore, she’s one of the biggest stars in the world and has way more power and influence that anyone of her enemies who’s wronged her. Therefore whenever she writes a diss track against any particular person, she knows that person will essentially be targeted by tens of thousands of her fans. No one ever thinks about the person on the receiving end of Taylor’s hate mob.

      • Kelsey says:

        I think you’ve put it in a way that perfectly describes why, while I don’t have a problem with Taylor, I just can’t get into her music/schtick.

  22. Hell Nah! says:

    Their relationship will go the way it is supposed to. Good luck to them both (he seems genuinely smitten) but I’m standing behind the sentiment that she’s in love for as long as it lasts.

    If it ends/when it ends, he’ll get the same treatment every other ex of hers has received.
