In the first quarter of the game, Swift was shown cheering enthusiastically for a Kansas City touchdown. It was scored by running back Isiah Pacheco, not Kelce, but the “Cruel Summer” singer appeared suitably impressed by the 48-yard effort. Later, Kelce acted as something of a decoy on a touchdown scored by fellow tight end Noah Gray, as the Chiefs took a large early lead that bode well for an enjoyable evening for Swift and the many other Chiefs fans on hand for the road game.
Sales of Kelce’s No. 87 jersey spiked 400 percent, and Swift’s 367 million followers on Instagram and X have moved into NFL territory, with Travis Kelce gaining over 860,000 followers on Instagram and his brother Jason, the Philadelphia Eagles’ center, adding 137,000. Travis gained more followers in September, when buzz about his relationship with Swift began, than in all three of the Super Bowls in which he has played.
On a break from her blockbuster Eras Tour, which resumes in Buenos Aires next month, Swift took Kelce up last week on his offer to come watch him play. That served as a returning of the favor, after he had seen her perform at Arrowhead in July. Kelce said recently that, after the concert, he tried to give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it, but that he was told then she wasn’t interested in speaking with anyone.
