Taylor Swift pledged her allegiance to her fiancé, Travis Kelce, and their team with a fervor that echoed through the stands of Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, October 19th, as the Kansas City Chiefs took on the Las Vegas Raiders. The "Fate of Ophelia" singer, at 35, donned a black jersey adorned with the "Kansas City Chiefs" logo in bold red and white lettering, complemented by a stack of gold jewelry that included necklaces, earrings, and rings.
With her signature red lipstick and black-winged liner, her hair swept back into a ponytail, Swift was a vision of elegance and support as she watched the game from a suite alongside her father Scott and Kelce's parents, Donna and Ed Kelce. They were joined by WNBA star and Chiefs fan Caitlin Clark, making for a truly unforgettable evening.
The Chiefs emerged victorious, defeating the Raiders 31-0, and Swift's first public appearance at a Chiefs game this season on October 12th was a prelude to her unwavering support for her fiancé's favorite team. Her dedication to their shared passion was evident in her every move, as she was caught on camera looking every bit the doting fiancée.
Leading up to the game, Swift was in the midst of her press tour for her latest album "The Life of a Showgirl," which she released on October 3rd. She shared her love for Travis on BBC Radio 2's The Scott Mills Breakfast Show, saying, "I love the person that I am with because [Travis] loves what I do and he loves how much I am fulfilled by making art and music. That's the coolest thing about Travis—he is so passionate about what he does, and my passion for what I do connects us."
Travis himself echoed these sentiments on his New Heights podcast on October 8th, stating that he was "excited" and "happy" for Swift as she released her album. He praised her for going through the "hoops" to live out her dreams and awarded her his "stamp of the week," saying, "Couldn't be more proud of her… Stamp of the week goes to Tay Tay, so proud of you girl."
While Swift wasn't in attendance during the Chiefs' Monday Night Football game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on October 6th, Donna Kelce represented her future daughter-in-law with pride. The 72-year-old mother of two wore a baseball cap covered in Swift-inspired doodles to complement her red "87" Chiefs jersey. This was not the first time Donna had donned the hat; just one day before, on October 5th, Kelce celebrated his 36th birthday with his mom after she attended a screening of Swift's The Official Release Party of a Showgirl.
Now that Swift has successfully launched "The Life of a Showgirl," sources close to her say she is ready to turn her attention to wedding planning. "Taylor has been super focused on work commitments. She's not kidding when she says she's exhausted. She's ready for a break so she can focus on the wedding," one insider told PEOPLE on October 6th. Adding that she is "very excited about planning the wedding," another source said that Swift and Kelce are still savoring their summer engagement and getting used to their new titles. "Being engaged hasn't fully hit either of them yet," the insider said. "It's still kind of strange and exciting and new to say 'fiancé' when they're talking about each other, and they both kind of laugh every time they catch themselves saying it." They've just been taking it all in quietly, cherishing every moment together.
