Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are not only the biggest story in sports this week, they are also the biggest story in pop culture. It is a crossover event unlike anything that football has ever seen before.
Many Swifties were introduced to the NFL for the first time on Sunday and watched their first-ever football game just to get a glimpse of their queen, who was sitting next to Mrs. Kelce in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium. They struggled greatly to understand what was going on, but it an absolute gold mine for the league.
Meanwhile, Kelce caught a team-high seven passes for a team-high 69 yards (nice) and a touchdown during a 41-10 blowout win over a terrible Chicago Bears team. Swift went bonkers when her rumored beau found pay dirt and later left with the Kansas City tight end on their way to dinner at a nearby restaurant that Kelce rented out for his team to celebrate.
As soon as the news first broke, the internet was in shambles. Football fans had their social media feeds infiltrated by Taylor Swift content. Swift fans had their social media feeds infiltrated by Kelce and football.
It was a very, very big deal. It remains the premier point of conversation, even as the focus shifts to Week 4.
Will Swift be in attendance at Sunday night’s prime time game at MetLife Stadium?! We shall see.
Either way, she was at the game over the weekend. And a hilarious video shows the exact moment in which Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs sideline first figured out that Swift was in the stadium.
Kelce points Mahomes in her direction. He gives a wave with a smile.
Meanwhile, the Kansas City staff around him is in complete awe. A hilarious exchange between staffers was caught on camera.
“Oh s—! That’s Taylor Swift”
“What? Oh s—!”
“That’s who? Ohhhhhhhhh”
Here is how it all went down in real time:
No matter who you are or what you do, Taylor Swift is a big enough deal to leave you awestruck. Especially when she’s just chilling in a box at an NFL game after months of rumors about a potential ‘Swelce’ coupling!
