Taylor Swift's Absence at Chiefs vs. Falcons Game: Will She Be Back Soon?

On Sunday night, football fans and Swifties alike were waiting to see if Taylor Swift would show up at the Kansas City Chiefs’ game against the Atlanta Falcons. As the game kicked off, it became clear that Swift had not been spotted in the crowd, leaving many wondering if she would make an appearance later. So far, no sign of her at the game.

With Taylor Swift currently on a break from her massively successful Eras Tour, there’s been a lot of excitement about whether she’ll use her downtime to attend Chiefs games, supporting her rumored boyfriend, star tight end Travis Kelce. Swift was seen at two of the Chiefs’ earlier games, and fans were hopeful she’d continue the trend.

Taylor’s Tour Schedule & Free Time

Swift is enjoying a well-deserved two-month break from her *Eras Tour*. Her next concert isn't scheduled until October 18 in Miami, meaning she has some free time to catch a few NFL games. This break has sparked hope among her fans and Chiefs followers that she might be spotted at more of the team's matchups, including Sunday’s game.

The singer has already been seen at two Chiefs games this season, where she cheered for the team from the stands. After those appearances, she was spotted spending some time in Kansas City with friends before flying out to New York. Swift was seen in the city on Saturday night, having dinner with her close friend and fellow celebrity Gigi Hadid. The two were spotted at The Corner Store, a trendy spot in New York, and Swift’s outfit choice caught some attention. She wore a stylish, pleated plaid skirt with a wide brown belt, pairing it with a black crop top and lace-up ankle boots.

While fans were hopeful that she might jet down to Atlanta in time for Sunday’s game, as of kickoff, it appeared that she stayed in New York. 

Will She Attend More Chiefs Games?

Despite her absence at the Falcons game, Taylor Swift still has plenty of opportunities to attend more Chiefs games this season. With her tour break extending until mid-October, she might have the chance to cheer for her rumored beau at 14 out of the team’s 17 regular-season games. The Chiefs’ upcoming games will likely see more buzz around whether or not Swift will be in attendance, especially considering her recent pattern of showing up at Kelce’s games.

However, there are a few games she’s almost certain to miss. Swift's next concert in Miami on October 18 clashes with the Chiefs’ October 20 game against the San Francisco 49ers. Then, her concerts on October 27 and December 8 also line up with the Chiefs’ games against the Las Vegas Raiders and the Los Angeles Chargers, respectively.

Travis Kelce on Football Tips for Beginners

Taylor Swift’s presence at NFL games has brought a lot of new attention to football, including from her fans who might not be as familiar with the sport. This newfound interest hasn't gone unnoticed by Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce, who addressed it on their popular podcast New Heights.

In a recent episode, a fan asked for tips on how to sound like they know what they’re talking about during a game. Travis and Jason both responded with a few simple but effective phrases. For those just learning football lingo, Jason suggested saying, “Good catch,” whenever someone makes a clean catch during a pass. Travis added that another reliable phrase is, “Oh yeah, first down,” when the offense gains the necessary yards to advance the ball past the yellow first-down marker.

Travis also had some fun advice: “Just yell at the refs.” He joked that when there’s a penalty, and you hear people groaning, you can chime in with complaints about the referees to fit in with the crowd. This playful advice reflects the Kelce brothers’ lighthearted personalities and has been a hit among their listeners.

Swifties Turning Into Football Fans?

The crossover between Taylor Swift’s fanbase and football fandom has been an unexpected but fun twist this NFL season. Many of her fans, known as Swifties, have taken a sudden interest in the Kansas City Chiefs, and Travis Kelce has gained new followers from Swift’s enthusiastic audience. It’s a unique combination of pop culture and sports, and the buzz around Taylor’s possible appearances at games is likely to continue all season long.

With her influence, more and more people who might not have cared about football before are tuning into the games, eager to catch a glimpse of Swift supporting Kelce. Whether she’s in the stands or not, Taylor’s impact is being felt on and off the field.

As the season goes on, there will undoubtedly be more speculation about Taylor’s game-day appearances. While she missed the Chiefs’ game against the Falcons, there are still plenty of opportunities for her to show up and cheer on Travis Kelce and his team. Fans of both Swift and the NFL will be keeping a close eye on her schedule and any future sightings at the games.

For now, though, it looks like Taylor is enjoying her time off from the *Eras Tour*, spending quality time with friends, and maybe planning her next NFL outing. Whether or not she’s in the stands, her presence will continue to be felt in the football world for the foreseeable future.
