Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs Lose with Taylor Swift in Attendance for the First Time

Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs were defeated for the first time with Taylor Swift in attendance on Sunday night.

The NFL star, 34, and the Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Green Bay Packers 27-19 as the beloved pop icon, 33, cheered on in a suite at Lambeau Field.

Kelce caught four passes for 81 yards during the game, but couldn’t throw in a fifth on the final play of the game when Patrick Mahomes found himself heading toward the endzone hoping to tie the game and force overtime.

Swift sat in the suite with tight end Blake Bell’s wife Brittany Mahomes and Lyndsey Bell, who all wore nearly identical red plush coats as they cheered on their beaus.

But the “Blank Space” singer wasn’t the only celebrity in the stands: Olympic gymnast Simone Biles was also in attendance, cheering on her husband Jonathan Owens, who plays for the Packers. The seven-time Olympic medalist and Packers safety were married in April.

Swift’s appearance at the game follows the couple’s latest date at the Miracle holiday pop-up bar in Kansas City on Friday, where the Chiefs hosted a party.

Last Sunday, Kelce set a new NFL record for 11,000 receiving yards in the fewest games (154) as a tight end, according to NFL.com, surpassing former Chiefs star Tony Gonzalez who previously held the record.

The pop superstar liked an Instagram post from Travis’ team as the Chiefs celebrated the record on Monday.

“The fastest tight end with 11,000 receiving yards AND the only player in franchise history to do so 🏹,” the Kansas City Chiefs wrote about Kelce.

Kelce’s on-court accomplishment comes as the new couple tries to balance spending time together with their busy professional schedules. While the NFL star played with her team, Swift spent the month of November performing the South American leg of her Eras Tour.

Discussing Travis’ record and Swift’s show of support on their podcast, his brother, Jason Kelce, remarked, “You might not care about the record, but you know who it’s for, a 92 percent player named Taylor Swift. That’s right. She liked the Chiefs Instagram post about you breaking this record.”

“Okay now. Thanks Tay,” Travis replied laughing at his brother’s comment.

“Gotta love the support,” Philadelphia Eagles center Jason joked. “Has she always been a fan of tight end yards? Is she a big tight end receiving yards [fan]?”

“I’m not sure, that’s a good question,” the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback replied. “Maybe. I don’t know. I don’t know if she’s a fan of tight ends or not. I have to ask her.”
