The Kansas City Chiefs are undefeated with pop superstar Taylor Swift in the Arrowhead Stadium crowd during the 2024-25 NFL season. She’ll be there this afternoon when the Chiefs take on the Houston Texans in the AFC Divisional Round.
The AFC Divisional game will be Swift’s 21st Chiefs matchup since the couple started dating in 2023. With a win, Kansas City would be 8-0 this season with Swift around.
Swift performs songs in bedazzled outfits on stages worldwide. Her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, performs football moves in red and gold uniforms on fields across the United States.
What kind of production does Kansas City get from its star tight end with Swift cheering from the luxury suite?

Does Kelce Perform Better In Front of Swift?
Surprisingly (or maybe not for someone with Kelce’s clutch reputation), the numbers suggest he performs better when Swift cheers him on. In the games Swift has attended, Kelce’s stats have seen an uptick compared to when she’s not around.
While Swifties believe Kelce’s pop star girlfriend motivates him, Kelce’s elite performance doesn’t need any extra inspiration — it’s just who he’s always been.
The “Taylor Swift effect” might make for fun headlines, but the data still shows Kelce is a dominant force regardless of who’s in the stands. But if having Swift there brings a little extra magic to Arrowhead Stadium, Chiefs Kingdom isn’t complaining.
