Taylor Swift appearing? Travis Kelce stats with pop star in attendance

Not only are the Kansas City Chiefs undefeated and on a quest for another Super Bowl-title defense, they also feature one of the most-followed romances in the world with tight end Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.

The football star and pop icon became the talk of the year in 2023 when Swift showed up at Arrowhead Stadium in Week 3 of the 2023 season. From that point on, sports and music fans have watched their love story grow as Swift embarked on her Eras Tour while Kelce and the Chiefs attempted to win their second consecutive Super Bowl. It all culminated in Las Vegas in February when Kansas City won another title and the couple got to celebrate the repeat championship together.

The couple remains strong in 2024 and they’ve supported each other’s career recently with Swift at some Kansas City games and Kelce at the Eras Tour. There is a chance Swift supports her beau this week. The artist just wrapped up the U.S. leg of her tour on Sunday, so she is free to attend the Chiefs game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night.

Swift has attended every home game so far for Kansas City, and while Kelce hasn’t put up the greatest numbers with her watching, the team remains perfect this season.

So far, Kelce has been better when Swift isn’t in the crowd.

Kelce is coming off his best game of the season when he had a season-high 10 catches for 90 yards, as well as his first touchdown catch of the season. In four games, Kelce has a combined 25 catches for 226 yards and one touchdown, far better statistical production without Swift. Here are his stats at the games she has missed:

  • Week 3 vs. Falcons: four catches, 30 yards
  • Week 4 vs. Chargers: seven catches, 89 yards
  • Week 6 vs. 49ers: four catches, 17 yards
  • Week 7 vs. Raiders: 10 catches, 90 yards and one touchdown

Kansas City is 4-0 when Swift isn’t there and 8-2 in the situation dating to last season.
