Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Kill Rumors of Watching Lionel Messi in Kansas City; Spotted in California During Coachella 2024

Amid swirling rumors of a potential sighting at a Kansas City soccer match featuring Lionel Messi, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have set the record straight without saying a word. Many thought that after her appearance at NFL games last year set viewership records, the same thing would happen with MLS.

The rumors had started when MLS analyst Taylor Twellman reported that there was a high chance of the power couple making an appearance at Arrowhead. However, people looking forward to that will be disappointed.

The power couple was spotted soaking up the sun, not in the stands of Arrowhead Stadium, but at the famed Coachella Music Festival in 2024, putting to rest any speculation about their weekend plans. Swift and Kelce opted for a quieter escape to a luxury, members-only resort in California, renowned for its exclusivity and privacy.

“They don’t want a ton of eyes on them, they want to be able to let their guard down and be comfortable,” a source close to the couple shared with the Daily Mail. This secluded haven seems tailor-made for the duo, offering them a respite from their bustling public lives. The allure of Coachella was unmistakable for Swift and Kelce, both of whom were eager to catch performances by Lana Del Rey and Bleachers, the band spearheaded by Jack Antonoff.

While soccer and football fans and even Swifties may have anticipated a sports night out for the couple, they are all set to be disappointed. But what even got people’s hopes so high up?

What set the rumor mill running?

Speculation swirled around Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, potentially gracing Kansas City with their presence on a vibrant Saturday night to witness Lionel Messi and Inter Miami clash at Arrowhead Stadium. The buzz originated from MLS analyst Taylor Twellman during a segment on AppleTV. As he discussed the upcoming game, Twellman playfully entertained the notion of the pop superstar and her NFL beau attending the match.

“Who is thinking Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will be in the house?” Jillian Sakovits, the show’s host, inquired, adding a layer of excitement to the pre-game coverage. Twellman, engaging with the speculation, subtly raised his hand, hinting he might know more. “Oh, Taylor knows something, huh? He knows something!” Sakovits exclaimed, fueling further speculation.

Sakovits took to her X account to share a clip of the moment, teasing the crossover of pop culture and sports with a post captioned “Taylor Swift x Messi?” This simple question set social media abuzz with anticipation and guesses about the couple’s weekend plans.

With ticket prices soaring to $120 on resale sites, the excitement was palpable. Swifties and Chiefs are still hoping the couple will show up in Arrowhead, adding an extra layer of intrigue to an already electrifying night of soccer in Kansas City.
