It was quite the scene at Arrowhead Stadium yesterday.
The Chiefs predictably destroyed the out-classed and over-matched Chicago Bears 41-10. But it’s who was in the stands (luxury box) that was talked about as much, if not more, than what Kansas City did on the field.
Pop sensation Taylor Swift was in Travis Kelce’s box, seated next to his mother, Donna – all but confirming that the pair are indeed dating.
Swift was shown countless times cheering and celebrating each time Kelce touched the ball. The biggest highlight being when Kelce hauled in a 3-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes.
Swift exploded with excitement and did her best Tom Brady impersonation by shouting out “LET’S F*CKING GO!!!” as Kelce scored.

Kelce, who has been at the center of swirling rumors regarding his relationship with Swift, led the Chiefs in receiving with seven catches for 69 yards and the aforementioned touchdown.
Mahomes had a stellar performance, completing 24-of-33 passes for 272 yards and three touchdowns. Wide receiver Jerick McKinnon hauled in two scores.
Isiah Pacheco contributed with 62 rushing yards and a touchdown, while Clyde Edwards-Helaire added 55 yards and another touchdown.
With the dominating victory, the Chiefs improved to 2-1 and have a primetime trip to MetLife Stadium on tap to take on the struggling Jets.
Mahomes spoke to Erin Andrews on FOX about Swift being at the game. He jokingly said he felt added pressure to get Kelce the ball so Travis could impress his new girlfriend.

The rumors surrounding Swift’s relationship with Kelce gained traction when Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, Travis’ brother, said on WIP radio that the rumors were “100% true.”
Travis himself then addressed the speculation on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Friday, stating: “It’s life, baby. I threw the ball in her court and told her, ‘I’ve seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead. You might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit.’ We’ll see what happens in the near future.”

The initial report regarding their budding romance came from The Messenger, which revealed that Kelce and Swift had been “quietly hanging out” for weeks.
A source of theirs stated: “She and Travis have hung out twice, and it’s nothing serious. She thinks he is very charming, and they have been texting this last week. He is a little embarrassed at how much attention they are getting, but he has told her he would love to continue seeing her.”
