Taylor Swift is in attendance at today’s Chiefs-Patriots game at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. And, the home team is showing their hospitality to the pop star, reminding her of her previous glowing comments about the stadium.
The stadium’s production team showed Swift, her dad Scott, and others on the video board with a past quote from the Blank Space singer.

It is true, Taylor Swift did say that this Summer. She performed three shows at the home of the Patriots from May 19-21. Naturally, they were sold out, as every show she’s played this year has had overwhelming ticket demand that far outweighs the capacity of any stadium on earth.
The 34-year-old caught the eye of legendary Patriots coach Bill Belichick after an incredible performance in the rain at one of her Gillette Stadium shows. I’m not talking a few rain drops. It was a biblical downpour.
Here’s an excerpt of his comments, courtesy of the official Patriots website.
“I saw a little bit of Taylor (Swift),” said Belichick, appearing on WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show” for the first time this season.
Understandably, that piqued the interest of the hosts, who then asked a few follow-up questions, including what he thought of Swift’s latest rain show in Foxborough.
“That was pretty impressive,” Belichick said, referring to the almost four-hour set Swift performed during the second of three concerts she held at Gillette Stadium.
“She’s tough, man. She stood out there and played right through.”
That being said, does Belichick now officially consider himself a Swiftie?
“Officially? I don’t know about that,” Belichick admitted, not knowing exactly what criteria is required to be part of Swift’s massive fan base.
We’d say yes, considering he was able to reference one of her songs and put its message into practice. Not to mention, he’s the “Mastermind” behind what some would call “The Last Great American Dynasty.”
“Look, I’m definitely on the, ‘you’ve got to calm down,'” Belichick said, alluding to Swift’s song titled “You Need to Calm Down.”
“That’s pretty good. You’ve got to calm down. There’s a lot of times when that’s very appropriate.”
Travis Kelce and the Chiefs won once again with Taylor Swift in attendance, improving to 5-2 in those games and 9-5 on the season overall. It was a quiet day for the tight end, though, as he had five catches for 28 yards and dropped a touchdown. pass.
