It’s been waiting for you.
Sunday night’s clash between the Kansas City Chiefs and New York Giants won’t be hosted in the concrete jungle of New York, but rather the swamps of the Meadowlands in New Jersey. Regardless, MetLife Stadium is the place to be and many eyes will be focused on the attendants in the suites, rather than this pair of 0-2 teams.
Taylor Swift has yet to be spotted at a Chiefs game through the first two weeks – despite many wondering if she was behind a screen in the tunnel at Arrowhead Stadium in Week 2.
It’s a surprising development for the now-fiancée to Travis Kelce, who had become a fixture at games since their relationship began in 2023.
Kelce’s Chiefs are still looking for their first win of the season, much like their opponents on Sunday night. Will the pop star be in attendance to will her team to victory? We’ll just have to wait and see.
Here’s a look at whether Swift will be at the Chiefs game on Sunday night.
Is Taylor Swift at the Chiefs game tonight?
Swift’s attendance for the Chiefs game against the Giants has not been confirmed for Sunday night.
While the pop star has been a frequent guest at Arrowhead Stadium for Chiefs home games, Swift hasn’t been at a true game since Week 15 of the 2023 season. For those hoping to see her at the game on Sunday night, there is some hope, however.
Swift famously attended a “Sunday Night Football” game at MetLife Stadium when the Jets hosted the Chiefs in Week 4 of the 2023 season.
If she does make an appearance, it will be the first confirmed sighting of Swift at a Chiefs game this season – which could bode well for Kelce’s stats.
Here’s a look at his splits when she is and isn’t confirmed to be in attendance.
