Taylor Swift first took over Christmas in 2007 with the release of her Xmas album. Now, sixteen years and a stunning NFL takeover later, is the country/pop singer about to dominate the attention by appearing in the Las Vegas Raiders vs. Kansas City Chiefs game on Monday?
Will Taylor Swift Be at the Chiefs vs. Raiders Game?
Update 12/25/23: It is a Christmas miracle! Taylor Swift will in fact be at the Kansas City Chiefs game today. She even arrived with Santa himself.

Arrowhead Stadium will be one of three different NFL venues open on Christmas Day, as the Chiefs will welcome the rival Raiders. But will the Arrowhead suites welcome back the soulmate of All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce?
Neither Swift nor Kelce have revealed that the Grammy winner will be spending her holiday watching the game. However, she has shown up at the last minute for Kelce’s games before.
Swift was filmed on camera walking into Lambeau Field before the Chiefs took on the Green Bay Packers on Dec. 3. She was seen holding out her phone from her suite box, attempting to live stream.

That contest was Swift’s first game after her Eras Tour wrapped up down in South America — with shows in Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires.
That road contest was also the first time the Chiefs lost a game with Swift in attendance.
She has appeared in seven total Chiefs games this season, receiving added attention from the league off her relationship with the two-time Super Bowl winner Kelce.
Was Swift Booed at the Last Chiefs Game?
Swift hasn’t just watched Kelce at the home of the Chiefs Kingdom. She’s traveled as well.
Outside of Green Bay, she took in the New York Jets Sunday Night Football game in the middle of the season at MetLife Stadium. She also took the commute to Foxborough to watch the Chiefs take on the New England Patriots…which was the first time an NFL fan base jeered her.

Swift got bombarded with boos once the Gillette Stadium jumbotron placed the cameras on her. There was even this twist at the expense of the Patriots’ creative team.
“’Gillette Stadium is the most joyful place on Earth’ — Taylor Swift,” the caption under Swift read.
Swift, though, didn’t appear to be phased by the ridicule.

And as her beau Kelce said on his New Heights podcast on Wednesday, he actually gave a shoutout to the Pats for showcasing her.
“Shout out to the Patriots, New England. Taylor’s on record saying that that stadium is one of the funnest that she’s played at.
“For them to show her, is just showing her some love. So shout out to the Patriots for doing that,” Kelce said.
“Yes, there might have been a few Brads and Chads who were booing, but for the most part, everybody was f—— screaming their tail off for her.”
