Travis Kelce has dropped a huge hint that Taylor Swift will be at the Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday to cheer on her beau as the Kansas City Chiefs face the Houston Texans in the playoffs
Travis Kelce has seemingly let slip that Taylor Swift WILL be in the stands when the Kansas City Chiefs face the Houston Texans on Saturday (January 18).
After going 15-2 in the regular season, the 35-year-old tight end now prepares for the Divisional Round of the playoffs with the Chiefs, where he will come up against an impressive 10-7 Texans side. And while a third consecutive Super Bowl ring may be motivation enough for Kelce headed into Saturday’s clash, he will also have a little extra support in the form of pop superstar beau Swift.
Speaking on The Pat McAfee Show on Monday (January 13), the host asked Kelce: “Is there going to be an aura in that place, a little extra – you know what we’re talking about”, suggesting Swift will attend. The NFL star responded with a smile: “Oh, yeah, you know it, baby,” before adding: “It’s playoff football, man.”
Despite being incredibly busy making music, Swift was able to attend 13 Chiefs games in 2023 – the year that she went public that she was dating Kelce. She also attended several home games for the franchise in the 2024 season, showing everlasting support for her beau and his career.
Elsewhere in his conversation with McAfee, Kelce snuck in a subtle reference to one of Swift’s songs. When asked about how he feels ahead of Saturday’s game, the athlete responded: “I’m fired up, man. I’m feeling 22 all over again, baby. Let’s go,” nodding to Swift’s 2013 hit ’22’.

Should Kelce manage to impress on the grid against the Texans, the Chiefs will face the winner of Sunday’s (January 19) game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Buffalo Bills.
A long-serving player to the Chiefs, Kelce initially joined the Kansas-based side in 2013 after being selected as the 63rd pick of the third round of the draft. He won his first Super Bowl with the side in the 2019 season, courtesy of a 31-20 win over the San Francisco 49ers, before doubling down on the NFL’s most prestigious prize with a 38-35 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2022 campaign.
Kelce claimed his third and final Super Bowl ring to date with another win over the 49ers last season, and will hope to add a fourth when the 2024 season’s edition of the competition takes place in February.
