No sign of Taylor Swift at Chiefs-Steelers Christmas game
It seems there won’t be a Christmas Day cameo from Taylor Swift this year.
The pop superstar, 35, appeared to skip the Chiefs’ holiday clash against the Steelers on Wednesday in Pittsburgh, days after supporting Kansas City at home during their 27-19 win over the Texans on Saturday.
Swift, who has been dating Kelce since the summer of 2023, cheered on the Chiefs last Christmas at Arrowhead Stadium, where they fell to the division rival Raiders, 20-14.
The Chiefs entered Wednesday’s game at 14-1 and eyes on the top seed in the AFC playoff race.
Star quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw for 260 yards and one touchdown against Houston amid speculation about his game-day status following an ankle injury sustained in a win over the Browns on Dec. 15.
Kelce, 35, had five receptions for 30 yards in Saturday’s Week 16 victory.
The star tight end has tallied 89 receptions for 739 yards and two touchdowns in 15 games this season, his 12th in the league.
The Chiefs will close out the regular season on Jan. 5 with a trip to Denver.
Then, their quest for a Super Bowl three-peat intensifies.
Kansas City has knocked off Philadelphia and San Francisco in back-to-back years, the latter of which was in front of Swift.
Moments after the Chiefs’ 25-22 overtime victory against the 49ers in Super Bowl 2024, the “Fortnight” singer greeted Kelce on the field at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Swift is enjoying some much-deserved downtime following the completion of her blockbuster Eras Tour earlier this month.
Kelce surprised Swift with an epic Eras-themed bash to commemorate the conclusion of the nearly two-year-long tour.
