Jason Kelce talks Taylor Swift’s record-breaking appearance on the New Heights podcast
Ralphie Aversa spoke with former Philadelphia Eagle Jason Kelce about Taylor Swift’s appearance on the New Heights podcast that earned a Guiness World Record.
Sports Seriously
Taylor Swift has been in attendance for three consecutive Kansas City Chiefs games. Will she make it four straight as the Chiefs hit the road for a key Week 9 matchup with the Buffalo Bills?
Kansas City is in the midst of a three-game winning streak that has catapulted the team back into AFC West contention. Buffalo has been one of the Chiefs’ biggest rivals during the Patrick Mahomes era, and Kansas City is looking to snap a four-game, regular-season losing streak against the Bills.
Add in that Travis Kelce is also on the verge of taking sole possession of the Chiefs’ all-time franchise touchdown record, and Swift would have several reasons to travel to Buffalo for Sunday’s game.
But will Swift actually be in attendance for the Chiefs’ Week 9 battle with the Bills? Here’s what to know about the pop star’s plans for Week 9.
Is Taylor Swift at the Chiefs game today?
Swift’s attendance for the Chiefs’ Week 9 game against the Buffalo Bills has not yet been confirmed.
Swift was at each of the Chiefs’ last three games from Weeks 6 to 8. All three games were played at Arrowhead Stadium and Kansas City won each contest over the Detroit Lions, Las Vegas Raiders and Washington Commanders.
While Swift has only been confirmed to be in attendance at the three most recent games, USA TODAY’s Taylor Swift reporter Brian West reports Swift “has attended all four [Chiefs] home games under the radar” in 2025.
It isn’t clear whether Swift will continue to attend Kelce’s home games or travel on the road with him at any point. The 36-year-old tight end is tied with Priest Holmes for the most touchdowns in Chiefs franchise history (83), so perhaps Swift is hoping to be in attendance for Kelce to pass that milestone.
Kelce has typically performed better when his fiancée is confirmed to be in attendance and watching him play. Here’s a look at the star tight end’s splits when she is and isn’t confirmed to be in attendance.
