The Kansas City Chiefs and the Houston Texans will kick off the Divisional round at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday, Jan. 18. Music icon Taylor Swift has been in attendance for seven games to cheer for her boyfriend, Travis Kelce’s side. The Chiefs are yet to lose a game with the 14x Grammy winner in the stands.
The NFL playoffs see some of the biggest stars cheering for their favorite teams from the stands. Besides Swift (who is considered Kansas City’s lucky charm), many celebrities are backing the Chiefs to complete a three-peat, something that has never been achieved in the history of the NFL.
A number of celebs will also be cheering for the Texans to knock the Chiefs out and make a run to the Super Bowl. Patrick Mahomes and Co. finished the season with a 15-2 record, securing the AFC West title and the No.1 seed. They received a bye for the Wild Card round and hence, an extra week of rest and practice.
