“Kansas City Chiefs Just Got 272 Million New Fans”: Swifties Find Their New Muse as Taylor Swift Cheers for Travis Kelce

The Kansas City Chiefs have always been one of the most popular teams in the NFL, but they may have just gained a whole new fan base thanks to their star tight end, Travis Kelce. The six-time Pro Bowler and two-time Super Bowl champion has been linked to none other than pop sensation Taylor Swift, who was spotted cheering for him at the Chiefs’ game against the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

Swift, who has won 12 Grammy awards and sold over 200 million records worldwide, is known for her catchy songs and having a loyal fan base. This fan base has navigated with Swift through her career in different eras of her singing career. Not only that, but Swifties have also supported the pop star through her hardships and controversies. Now Swifties have something to cheer in the gridiron as well.

All too well for the Chiefs

The rumors of their involvement started when Kelce invited Swift to attend a Chiefs game during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show podcast last week. He said he had given her his phone number at one of her concerts and told her to come see him play at Arrowhead Stadium.

Taylor Swift apparently accepted the invitation, as she was seen sitting in Kelce’s family box with his mother, Donna, on Sunday. She wore a red-and-white Chiefs jacket and cheered enthusiastically for the team, right when Kelce scored a touchdown in the third quarter.

Kelce was making fans’ heads turn even before the game started, but more so after the game ended. He had a memorable moment with the music star after the game, as they were seen leaving the stadium together. Swift and Kelce are the seemingly new power couple in the town. But not the first NFL-pop star couple to make headlines.

Football and music collision

Tony Romo, former QB for The Dallas Cowboys was famously dating the musician Jessica Simpson. They were ‘the’ couple of early 2000’s. The couple went public with their relationship in December 2007, when Simpson attended a Cowboys game wearing a pink jersey with Romo’s number.

They face constant scrutiny from the media and the public. Despite this, Romo and Simpson continued to date and seemed happy together. However, not everything was as perfect as it seemed. Rumors of infidelity were packed in the media and both were to blame. Finally, in 2009 Romo broke with Simpson, ending the fairytale.

One of the most successful NFL-musician relationships of all time has to be between ex-Seahawks QB Russel Wilson and Ciara. They have been married for 7 years now and The Broncos star is looking forward to becoming a dad for the 4 time, later in the year. Meanwhile, what do you think of the probable budding romance between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
