Taylor Swift was notably absent from the Kansas City Chiefs' road game against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, September 27. This appearance would have been the team's first road trip of the 2026 season. The pop superstar's absence from Chiefs games during away trips is not unprecedented, as she also did not attend any during the 2025 season.
Swift's focus appears to be on her upcoming performance at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, where she will receive the inaugural MTV VMA Artist Director Honors. This award celebrates artists making significant contributions behind the camera in music videos. She also has eleven other nominations at the ceremony.
Adding to her busy schedule, Swift released 'The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore' on Friday, September 25. This deluxe edition of her album includes four new songs: 'Cleveland!,' 'Pink Clouding,' 'Babylon,' and 'Patient Zero.' A music video for 'Patient Zero,' starring Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell, is also set to debut at the VMAs.
