Game? What game? Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce take centre stage at Super Bowl

After a nail-biting Super Bowl, some Swifties felt Travis Kelce's outburst at Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid was a red flag.

Even as the Kansas City Chiefs triumphed 25-22 over the San Francisco 49ers in the 2024 Super Bowl on Sunday, much of the world had eyes on how Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce would celebrate.

Swift, 34, made her much-anticipated arrival to Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium Sunday afternoon with her famous friends, actor Blake Lively and rapper Ice Spice, in tow.

The Anti-Hero singer watched the football match from a private suite — reportedly purchased by Kelce himself to the tune of over US$1 million — alongside Kelce’s mother Donna, father Ed and brother Jason.

Swift and her crew were later joined by singer Lana Del Rey, who Swift had also brought onstage during her historic Grammy win last week.

While in attendance to support her tight-end boyfriend, Swift wore a stylish black corset and ripped denim, paired with a red-and-white Chiefs jacket. Though her usual favourite number is 13, Swift wore an ’87’ pendant necklace, an homage to Kelce’s jersey number. Even Swift’s black, heeled boots were emblazoned with a red-and-gold bedazzled ’87.’

Swift would have raced to Las Vegas following her four Eras Tour concerts in Toyko, Japan, last week. The singer’s private jet — which has controversially made headlines in recent weeks — touched down in Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon, CBS News reported.

Whether NFL fans love or hate Swift’s appearances at games, much of the Super Bowl coverage focused on the singer. In the spirit of football, Swift even playfully chugged her beer when she appeared on the Jumbotron.
