Swift's Absence Raises Eyebrows as Chiefs Prepare for Crucial Matchup
13 Oct
Summary
- Taylor Swift has not been seen at a Chiefs game this 2025 NFL season
- Her attendance historically correlates with improved performance for Travis Kelce and the Chiefs
- The Chiefs look to avoid falling to 2-4 against the Detroit Lions on Sunday Night Football

As the Kansas City Chiefs gear up for their crucial "Sunday Night Football" matchup against the Detroit Lions on October 12, 2025, a notable absence has caught the attention of fans and analysts alike. Taylor Swift, the pop superstar and fiancée of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, has not been seen at any of the team's games during the 2025 NFL season.
This is a departure from her frequent presence in the stands during the 2023 and 2024 seasons, where her attendance was often correlated with improved performance from Kelce and the Chiefs. The team's record when Swift was confirmed to be in attendance was an impressive 19-4, including a Super Bowl victory in 2023.
As the Chiefs look to avoid falling to a 2-4 record to start the season, the question remains whether Swift's absence will have an impact on Kelce's and the team's performance. The last time the "Shake it Off" singer was seen supporting her future husband in person was at the Chiefs' Super Bowl 59 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Amid the speculation, it remains to be seen whether Swift will make an appearance at the upcoming Sunday Night Football game. The Chiefs will be hoping to bounce back from their recent struggles, with or without the pop star's presence in the stands.
