Taylor Swift is back to cheer Travis Kelce on during his first Kansas City Chiefs football game since his birthday on October 5. The pop star arrived at Arrowhead Stadium about 45 minutes before kickoff. She wore a plaid off-the-shoulder minidress and knee-high boots to the event.
Footage quickly spread of her entering the stadium:
Swift missed Kelce’s last two games, sparking some concern among fans that there might be trouble in their relationship. Sources, however, shut down breakup rumors to multiple outlets. An insider told Us Weekly on October 1 that “nothing has changed” between them, and the couple was aware of the speculation.
“They’re choosing not to dwell on the noise, focusing instead on staying true to themselves and being happy,” the source said. “They simply shrug off the stories. They see it as just another example of the press lifting someone up only to tear them down.”
An insider additionally told Page Six that Swift has attended only home games this season because they have less of a safety risk. The source explained, “If she is going to a place that isn’t Arrowhead, there are security concerns. She has worked with Arrowhead so many times, they feel at ease and comfortable. Going to all kinds of different stadiums, you need to send a team in advance.”
The singer is also gearing up for her Eras Tour to resume on October 18. She will play her first show back in Miami that day. Her break began in August after she wrapped the European leg of her tour, and she’ll continue doing concerts through December 8.
She hasn’t planned her life beyond that, Us Weekly’s source said last week. She and Kelce “are both focused on their work now and just want to get through the holidays and the tour and will be figuring out their next moves after the new year.”
