The Super Bowl is more than a football game. It is a huge cultural event that invites non-sports fans to pay attention to the big game. Even celebrities want to take part in the action.
The biggest pop star in the world, Taylor Swift, is in New Orleans to root for the Kansas City Chiefs and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. The Chiefs are looking to win an unprecedented third-straight Super Bowl as they take on the Philadelphia Eagles.
This year, the trek to the Super Bowl was much simpler than it was for Super Bowl 58, when Swift needed elaborate travel plans to travel from Japan to Las Vegas to see the Chiefs compete for the NFL’s ultimate prize. Let’s examine who is with Swift in New Orleans.
Is Taylor Swift At the Eagles vs. Chiefs Super Bowl?
Yes, Swift is in attendance for the big game, and she’s rooting on Travis in person. She has a star-studded suite, with rapper Ice Spice and the three sisters from the band Haim, Este, Danielle, and Alana Haim, sitting alongside her.

Retired Eagles center Jason Kelce spoke with PEOPLE earlier in the week and revealed that Swift would be there.
“Yeah, I think everybody’s coming in,” Jason Kelce said. “I mean, I don’t want to speak for everybody, but I think obviously, our whole family. I believe, obviously Trav and Taylor, and his family and his friends. I mean, Trav always travels like, full.”
Travis and Jason’s parents, Donna Kelce and Ed Kelce, and Jason are sitting with Swift in a suite for the Super Bowl.
Swift has attended multiple Chiefs games this year and she has been a good luck charm for the team, as Kansas City has yet to lose a game with her in the building this season.
This season, the Chiefs are 9-0 in the games that Swift has attended. She was also on hand for Kansas City’s win over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58. That is a streak of 10 consecutive games the Chiefs have won with Swift in attendance.
With such a gaudy record when Swift is there to see him, Travis Kelce knows he needs to perform at a high level.
In the playoffs this year, Travis has nine catches for 136 yards and one touchdown.
“I better hold up my end of the bargain,” Travis Kelce said during his Super Bowl press conference. “She’s up there being the superstar that she is and never taking no for an answer and always working her tail off. I better match that energy for sure.”
Chiefs vs. Eagles Super Bowl Preview
Based on PFN’s win probability model, which ran 10,000 simulations via the PFN Playoff Predictor, the Eagles have a 52.8% chance of defeating the Chiefs.
The Chiefs are aiming to become the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls. Kansas City has won three of the last five Super Bowls and will be the first NFL team to play in five Super Bowls over a six-season span.
This is Philadelphia’s third Super Bowl appearance in the last eight seasons. The Eagles defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII and lost to the Chiefs two seasons ago in Super Bowl LVII.
Kansas City Chiefs Trends and Insights
- The Chiefs have 17 straight one-score wins (12-0 this season, their last three playoff games last year, and their last two regular season games). Twelve one-score wins is the most in a single season all-time, tied with the 2022 Vikings, 2019 Seahawks, and 2015 Broncos.
- Patrick Mahomes passed Joe Montana for the second-most playoff wins by a starting quarterback (17) and John Elway for the second-most playoff game-winning drives by a quarterback (seven).
- From 2019-24, the Chiefs have made six Super Bowl appearances, are chasing a fourth title, and have won 78% of their regular season games. For reference, the Splash Brother Golden State Warriors (2015-19, 2022) made six NBA Finals appearances with four titles and won 76.2% of their regular season games.
- The Chiefs have averaged over 2.5 points per offensive drive in four straight games when playing their regulars – that’s a good formula, as NFL teams have won 78.9% of their games this season when clearing 2.50 PPD.
- During his career, Mahomes has averaged 3.9 carries for 20 yards and 0.13 touchdowns on the ground during the regular season. In the postseason, those rates elevated to 5.4 attempts, 29.1 yards, and 0.35 touchdowns per game.
Philadelphia Eagles Trends and Insights
- The Eagles peaked early last season and scored 155 points over a five-game win streak (Weeks 7-12). Over their past five games, they’ve scored 166 points.
- Jalen Hurts ran for three scores in his prior Super Bowl experience, joining Terrell Davis as the only player to do that in The Big Game. With his three rushing scores on Sunday, Hurts joined LeGarrette Blount as the only players in NFL history with multiple playoff games in which they ran for three-plus touchdowns.
- Philadelphia has forced 19 turnovers in their past six games, a run that includes four games with three-plus.
- The Eagles became the sixth team to have multiple players rush for multiple scores in a playoff game, the first since Rex Burkhead and Sony Michel did it for the 2018 Patriots.
- Since 2022, the Eagles are 18-8 ATS (69.2%) when facing a team that enters play with at least as many wins as losses (second best, trailing only the 20-6-1 Lions).
- Hurts will become the eighth quarterback to start multiple Super Bowls within his first eight seasons. Of the previous seven, only Elway failed to secure a ring within his first five seasons—though Elway would famously cap off his career with Super Bowl victories in his final two seasons.
