Taylor Swift returns to Arrowhead Stadium for Travis Kelce’s Chiefs game on New Year’s Eve

Taylor Swift is closing out 2023 in a familiar place.

The pop superstar returned to Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday afternoon for boyfriend Travis Kelce’s Chiefs game against the Bengals.

Swift was seen wearing black slacks and a Chiefs varsity jacket — similar to the style Kelce wore earlier in the week.

The Chiefs won the game 25-17.

Swift’s New Year’s Eve appearance comes just days after the Swift family supported the Chiefs tight end on Christmas, when Kansas City fell to the Raiders, 20-14.

Swift, who has been dating Kelce for months, was joined Monday by her parents, Scott and Andrea Swift, as well as her brother, Austin Swift, who dressed as Santa Claus.

“He killed it and he actually made me feel like a child because his gift to me was straight out of the bag — in the Santa sack — whipped it out and handed me a VHS of my favorite football movie of all time, ‘Little Giants,'” Kelce said of Austin on Friday’s episode of the “New Heights” podcast that he co-hosts with brother Jason Kelce.

Although the outcome of Monday’s game disappointed Kelce, he didn’t let it dampen his Christmas spirit.

“It ended well with great Christmas cheer and great people and that’s always going to save Christmas, no matter if you lose to the Raiders,” the two-time Super Bowl champ said on his podcast.

Swift and Kelce, both 34, celebrated Christmas at his Kansas City mansion after the game, according to the Daily Mail, with her family and his dad, Ed Kelce, joining the festivities.

“Seeing their families together on such a special holiday was the best gift ever for Taylor,” a source told the outlet.

Page Six previously reported that the couple — who was first linked over the summer – would spend the holidays together in Kansas City.

Kelce and the Chiefs will close out the regular season on the road against the Chargers next Sunday.

The NFL playoffs begin the following week.

As for Swift, she is currently on hiatus from her blockbuster Eras Tour, which will resume in Tokyo in February.
