Taylor Swift could make it to quite a few Chiefs games this season. See the list
Travis Kelce is back on the football field this week for training camp after spending time at Taylor Swift's concerts in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.
The Kansas City tight end attended 13 Eras Tour shows after the couple went public in September, matching the singer's 13 NFL games she attended last season, culminating in the Chiefs' Super Bowl win against the San Francisco 49ers. The world watched as Swift gave her Super Bowl champion boyfriend a congratulations kiss on the field.
Swifties have captured videos of Kelce in the VIP tent and suites dancing in Argentina, Australia, Singapore, France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands and Germany. At the end of every show with Kelce in the crowd, Swift has changed a "Karma" lyric to: "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me."
Chiefs training camp runs until Aug. 15. There are two preseason games that conflict with Eras Tour performances in Austria and England, but Swift could make the last preseason game along with 14 regular season games:
- Aug. 22: Chiefs vs. Chicago Bears (preseason)
- Sept. 5: Chiefs vs. Baltimore Ravens
- Sept. 15: Chiefs vs. Cincinnati Bengals
- Sept. 22: Chiefs at Atlanta Falcons
- Sept. 29: Chiefs at Los Angeles Chargers
- Oct. 7: Chiefs vs. New Orleans Saints

'It's a love story, baby...'
One year ago, the tight end walked into the Kansas City Chiefs' arena as a concertgoer with a friendship bracelet and a dream, to get the fan-made jewelry with his number to Swift.
That never happened. Two weeks later, he called out the Eras Tour star on his podcast "New Heights," telling his brother Jason, "I was disappointed that she doesn't talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice."
The podcast clip went viral. Swift reached out. The two dated in secret until Sept. 24 when she appeared in an Arrowhead suite to cheer on Kelce with his mom, Donna. The Chiefs dominated the Bears 41-10. Coincidentally, the first game this season she could cheer from an Arrowhead box is against the Bears when she's on a two-month break from the Eras Tour.
