Taylor Swift attended her fourth NFL game of the season on Sunday afternoon as boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Chiefs put a whooping on the Chargers. It appears as though she is starting to get a hang of this whole football thing.
Swift, a lifetime Eagles fan after being born in Pennsylvania, has always had some understanding of the sport. The same cannot necessarily be said for her fans, who struggled to pick up the game when news first broke that their queen was at Arrowhead Stadium back in September, but the international superstar herself is somewhat knowledgeable in that area.
And now that Taylor Swift has attended three games in Kansas City, she has a much greater understanding of the fanbase and its culture. One of the most simple traditions out in Missouri comes at the end of the national anthem. It is not a revolutionary thing. It is not exclusive to the Chiefs.
However, the fans in Philly don’t do it.
At the end of the national anthem, Kansas City fans replace “home of the brave” with “home of the Chiefs” and yell their team name with everything in their bodies. Swift has quickly figured out what to do.
A new video from Sunday shows the incredible scenes during the national anthem. As the Star-Spangled Banner comes to a close, the camera cuts to the most highly-scrutinized suite in football.
Swift unleashed a loud and proud “CHIEFS” chant in place of “Brave.”
Swift is clearly all-in on Travis Kelce and his team. She has her own handshake with Brittany Mahomes. She was high-fiving Jackson. It was all Kansas City, from the moment that the anthem started to play.
The Eagles have been kicked to the curb— for now. The funniest possible outcome would be for them to break up, and for Swift to jump right back to Philadelphia.
Obviously, though, that would mean love is dead. We don’t want that. Swelce forever!
