Taylor Swift was in the mood to celebrate on Monday night after cheering boyfriend Travis Kelce on to victory as the Kansas City Chiefs beat New Orleans Saints 23-16.
The singer appeared on the Instagram story of Chariah Gordon after the game – the partner of Kelce’s teammate Mecole Hardman.
Swift appeared to be in Kelce’s suite – there was picture of her performing on her Era’s Tour in the background – and she was asked by Gordon what she thought of the victory.
‘No, it’s important that you answer the question this time,’ Swift said, before Gordon continued: ‘I think that we feel really good about this week, we are 5-0.’
Swift interjected: ‘Going into a bye week’ before agreeing with Gordon saying the win was perfect: ‘Perfect is the word!’
Kelce’s girlfriend then referenced the picture of her behind her. She stepped aside, allowing Gordon to zoom in as Swift pointed at it and said: ‘Sorry – for me, myself.’
Kelce could be seen in the background of the brief video, which Gordon captioned: ‘See you after the bye week.’
Another brief clip of the couple surfaced on TikTok in the early hours of Tuesday morning, appearing to show Swift and Kelce talking to his father, Ed, in the suite.
Swift herself cheered Kelce and the Chiefs to their 26-13 win over New Orleans Saints alongside her dad Scott.
As Swift referenced, the Chiefs are off next weekend and return to action on October 20 against San Francisco 49ers in a repeat of last season’s Super Bowl.
Swift resumes her Eras Tour next Friday in Miami, with Kelce free to attend due to his scheduled time off.
The Eras poster was first noticed by fans on a tour of Arrowhead during the NFL offseason – with the Swifties immediately interpreting it as another sign of the strength of their relationship.
But Monday night marked the first Chiefs game Swift had attended in over two weeks.
She skipped the last two road games, against Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Chargers, despite not being on tour and was also absent from his 35th birthday on Saturday night.
Kelce hosted a charity event that evening, his annual ‘Car Jam’ which served as a fundraiser for his 87 and Running foundation.
On the field, Kelce continued his improvement in form after an awkward start to the season with nine receptions for 70 yards. He was especially good in the first half of the game, before the Saints kept things tighter after the interval.
Kelce even threw a lateral pass to Samaje Perine late in the second quarter, a moment with proved a major talking point for his team after the game.
‘I’m shaking my head because I told him before the play, I said, “I’m gonna throw it to you so we can get in field goal range,” and he underhand shoveled it across the entire field. It’s like I’m talking to Sterling,’ Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes explained after the game, in reference to his three-year-old daughter.
‘That’s Travis, man. He’s a special player, and as long as he does it and it works, man, no one’s going to say anything.’
