While the two teams were going against each other for the first time since the 2021 campaign, the whole focus however remained split. The most decorated gymnast of all time, Simone Biles, and America’s pop sensation, Taylor Swift’s arrival at Lambeau, framed the news rather majorly.
Simone Biles has been a constant at Jonathan Owens games when she is not out conquering stages. On December 3rd, the situation was no different as the 7-time Olympic medalist arrived to lend her support. However, what added more excitement to the story was Taylor’s presence in support of her boyfriend and Chiefs Tight end, Travis Kelce. Having shared a history of doting moments, fans eagerly awaited the two inspirational women’s interaction; even for a brief moment. But at the end of the game, fans were disappointed. Here’s why.

Simone Biles and Swift share a history of moments spent in each other’s support. The knowledge only added to the fans’ excitement as the two made their way to Lambeau. However, according to Simone’s recent interview with Vanity Fair, the gymnast did not share the same emotion. “It’s a little bit weird because I’m like, This is definitely not my gig,” she said further admitting that a little attention comes with anxiety for her. But that did not act as a reason for the failure.
One of the first reasons was that the game yielded no clicks of the two together. “There was no selfie,” Biles told in the interview. Being in the same space, fans expected to find the two in a frame, but it was only withered with the next reason. They sat in different stands. While Biles was photographed rather close to the grounds, Taylor was seen in another section alongside Brittany Mahomes. Moreover, the circumstances by the end of the game weren’t ideal for the Chiefs fans.
“And I’m not sure they were exactly happy that the Packers were beating them,” Simone Biles told Vanity Fair marking the third reason. The Packers beat the Chiefs 27-19 for a home turf win. The simple distances stood to shatter the hopes of a meet-up for many.
