The Chiefs looked dubious during the first half of the Super Bowl LVIII. Then suddenly, lo-and-behold, one touchdown in the second half turned the entire game on its head. The 49ers dominated the Chiefs in the first half but failed to put points on the board. They left the door open for the Chiefs, and Patrick Mahomes & Co. swiftly took advantage of that fact.
The third quarter saw good things for the Chiefs, as Patrick Mahomes connected with Marquez Valdes-Scantling for a touchdown and turned the game around. Taylor Swift, there to cheer for her boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Chiefs, was elated. She rushed from her concert in Tokyo and reached Allegiant Stadium ready to chant ‘Go Chiefs!”
She made it just in time, only to come face-to-face with her favorite football team go scoreless in the first two quarters. All that changed soon, and it seemed the pop queen stepped toward her wish—to see Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs win. When the Chiefs’ quest for a touchdown was finally fulfilled, Taylor Swift was seen dancing and celebrating with Ice Spice and Blake Lively, her constant companions throughout the nail-biting game.
