AceShowbiz - Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and pop star Taylor Swift were photographed holding hands after the Chiefs' dramatic 27-20 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night, September 5. The outing put to rest rumors of trouble in paradise, which had surfaced earlier in the week after fake documents claiming the pair planned to announce their split were leaked online.
Swift watched the game from a private suite alongside Kelce's family, including his mother Donna and father Ed. During the game, the Grammy-winning singer leapt up from her seat and hugged Donna after Kelce caught a 23-yard pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes, making Mahomes the all-time passing leader in franchise history.
Kelce and the Chiefs made a perfect start to their second straight Super Bowl defense, holding on for a victory despite a frantic finish in which the Ravens nearly tied the game with zero seconds on the clock. Swift, who attended 13 of Kelce's games last season, is expected to attend the majority of his games this year as well.
Despite their budding friendship, Swift did not sit with Brittany Mahomes at Thursday night's game. Mahomes, the wife of Patrick Mahomes, sparked controversy last month after fans spotted she had liked one of former President Donald Trump's Instagram posts. Swift and Mahomes were inseparable at games last season, but their friendship appears to be in question following Mahomes' apparent endorsement of Trump.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating since last summer, and the 34-year-old singer's presence at NFL games has significantly boosted viewership, particularly among female fans. Swift has been spotted wearing thigh-high red leather boots and other outfits inspired by her boyfriend's team, and Kelce has shown his appreciation by hanging a photo of her onstage in his private suite.
