On Sunday night at 8:20 p.m. ET, the Kansas City Chiefs are hosting the Los Angeles Chargers at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. As Kansas City looks to improve to 12-1 on the season, will a certain pop superstar be in attendance?
Will Taylor Swift Be At the Chiefs-Chargers Game?
Taylor Swift has only attended Chiefs home games this season, so many fans are wondering if she’ll show up to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. Unfortunately, Swift won’t be able to attend tonight’s game.
Tonight in Vancouver, Swift will perform her final concert of the “Eras Tour,” so there’s no way for her to attend the Chiefs-Chargers game.
However, with the touring wrapping up tonight, she should be able to attend quite a few Chiefs games going forward, including being front and center during Kansas City’s playoff run (just as she was last year when the team won their second consecutive Super Bowl).
It remains to be seen if she’ll start attending some Chiefs road games.
Why Hasn’t Swift Attended Any Road Games This Season?
Swift has a crazy schedule, especially since she’s been on her hugely popular “Eras Tour.” There are certain road games that she has missed because she has a concert in another city. However, even when her schedule has been open, she has opted to cheer on Kelce from afar when the Chiefs are playing on the road.
Adam Lefkoe, a broadcaster who is close with Jason Kelce and the Kelce family as a whole, shared a possible explanation. During an appearance on “Up & Adams,” Lefkoe mentioned that Swift and the Kelce family had a rough away-game experience at Highmark Stadium when the Chiefs faced the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round of last year’s NFL playoffs.
“I have heard from people very close [to the Kelces] that it was not a great experience in Buffalo. It was not — for all parties involved, and I’m talking about the most famous of all the parties,” Lefkoe said. “I think that it kind of shocked the Kelce family and everyone related to the Kelce family the reception they got.”
Adam Lefkoe says the Kelce-Swift family were SHOCKED by the reception they got from #BillsMafia during last season's Divisional RD game. 😳

Lefkoe said Swift and the Kelces were expecting “an amazing game with good energy,” but instead, “they experienced Bills Mafia in full form” and dealt with “complete ruthlessness.”
“I think they left and went, ‘I don’t know if I want to experience that again,’” Lefkoe said.
Based on that quote, it sounds like this experience may have soured Swift on road games.
“You don’t have to be mean or hurt people,” Lefkoe said. “Don’t do that.”
The Chiefs defeated the Bills 27-24 in that game and Travis had a terrific performance, catching five passes for 75 yards and two touchdowns. You might recall that this was the game when Jason was shirtless and interacting with fans.
Well, Lefkoe described this as Kelce getting the last laugh after hours of being cursed out and treated poorly by Buffalo fans. Lefkoe pointed out that the Bills fans were doing “their job” by making the opposing fans uncomfortable but hinted that they may have crossed the line.
“You don’t have to be mean or hurt people,” Lefkoe said. “Don’t do that.”
After Kansas City advanced past Buffalo, Swift attended the AFC Championship Game in Baltimore and watched the Chiefs punch their ticket to the Super Bowl. She was also in attendance for Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas when Kansas City defeated the San Francisco 49ers. But ever since, she has only attended the Chiefs’ home games at Arrowhead Stadium.
The Chiefs have three more road games during the regular season: against the Cleveland Browns in Week 15 (Dec. 15), against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17 (Dec. 25), and against the Denver Broncos in Week 18 (TBD). With her schedule opening up, it remains to be seen if she’ll attend any of Kansas City’s remaining away games.
