Just days after her big win at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, Taylor Swift made a surprise visit to the Kansas City Chiefs’ practice at Arrowhead Stadium on Friday morning to cheer on her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his teammates.
The pop superstar, fresh off an electrifying night at the VMAs, boarded a private jet Thursday to reunite with Kelce as he prepared for Sunday’s big game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Swift’s appearance at the Chiefs’ practice was unexpected, and according to a witness, her presence brought joy to the entire team. “When Taylor showed up, the players were ecstatic. They gave her a warm welcome, but the happiest person there was definitely Travis. It was the biggest surprise for him,” the source shared.
Though no photos were allowed at the practice, insiders confirmed that Swift’s visit was filled with excitement. The pop star wanted to share her post-VMAs joy with Kelce, who was unable to attend the awards show due to his commitment to the team.
VMAs Win and Travis Kelce’s Presence on Set
At the VMAs, where Swift took home multiple awards, fans of the Bad Blood singer speculated on social media that they heard Kelce’s laugh in behind-the-scenes footage from her Fortnite music video. Swift hinted at Kelce’s involvement during her acceptance speech for Video of the Year, thanking him for his support while on set.
“I would hear cheers from across the studio where we were filming,” Swift said. “And that person was my boyfriend, Travis. Everything he touches brings joy, happiness, and magic, and I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot.”
Social media users later analyzed the footage and pointed out that the laugh heard during a blooper scene strongly resembled Kelce’s, prompting fans to comb through behind-the-scenes clips in search of further confirmation.
Busy Week for the Couple
The surprise visit to Chiefs practice capped off a whirlwind week for Swift and Kelce. After attending multiple events in New York City, including a wedding and the men’s US Open final, the couple has become a fixture in the public eye. Swift stunned on the VMAs red carpet in a chic plaid bra and skirt ensemble, completing the look with black tights and leather gloves. Despite walking the carpet solo due to Kelce’s work commitments, the Grammy-winning artist had her boyfriend’s unwavering support from afar.
As the Kansas City Chiefs gear up for a crucial matchup against the Bengals, Swift’s visit seemed to provide an extra morale boost for the team—particularly for Kelce, who continues to thrive both on the field and in his high-profile relationship with the global superstar.
With both Swift’s music career and Kelce’s NFL season in full swing, fans will be watching closely as the couple navigates their respective worlds, all while cheering each other on from the sidelines.
