The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens 17-10 on Sunday, securing their spot at Super Bowl LVIII. After the game, Taylor Swift went onto the field to lay a big ol’ smooch on boyfriend/tight end Travis Kelce.

 

After the tender embrace, Kelce shouted the chorus to the Beastie Boys’ “Fight for Your Right,” as is his wont.

So Travis Kelce is going to the Super Bowl. Again. The question now becomes: is Taylor? Swift is chugging through the international leg of her Era Tour, and she has a show in Tokyo the night before Super Bowl.

But what’s one hemisphere-stradding PJ flight, in the face of true love? NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport says Swift is flying from Tokyo to Las Vegas in order to support her man.

What’s more, she’d be getting there before she left. “Let me introduce you to something called the International Date Line,” Rapoport said. “Tokyo is 17 hours ahead.”

If Swift leaves Tokyo at midnight Sunday morning, she could be in Vegas by 7 p.m. Saturday night.

In the meantime, American Airlines is offering flights 1989 and 87 for fans to fly from KC to LV and back.

Travis Kelce is headed back to the Super Bowl with the support of his parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift.

 

After the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Baltimore Ravens to advance to the 2024 Super Bowl, Swift, 34, went down onto the field with Donna and Ed at M&T Bank Stadium as they congratulated Travis, 34, on his return to the NFL’s biggest night.

Ed, sporting his son’s Chiefs jersey, stood by as Swift and Travis shared a celebratory kiss on the field before the trophy ceremony began. Swift was later seen with her arm around Ed as she pointed to Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, who was on stage receiving their AFC Championship trophy.

The tight end’s brother, Jason Kelce, also took the field to celebrate with his parents and Swift. The two brothers embraced on the field, and Jason told an emotional Travis to “finish this motherf—er” as he and the Chiefs head to the Super Bowl.

During Travis’ speech after the game, the tight end quoted the Beastie Boys’ lyrics “You’ve got to fight/ for your right/ to party” — the same lyric he repeated last year when they won the 2023 Super Bowl — as he addressed Chiefs friends and family.

Swift was seen laughing as her beau got Chiefs Kingdom hyped for another Super Bowl appearance.

It was a huge game for Travis, who officially passed NFL legend Jerry Rice for the most postseason catches in NFL history.

On Friday ahead of the game, Travis had shot down criticism that he was distracted this season by his romance with Swift.

In response to a reporter who specifically asked Kelce if he and Swift have discussed the increased attention on them, the tight end said he and the “Karma” singer “talked about” managing privacy. “As long as we’re happy, we can’t listen to anything that’s outside noise,” Kelce said. “Thats all that matters.”

Kelce said he’d “be silly” not to acknowledge the increased attention on him over the last year. “I think the Super Bowl helped that, and obviously how I live my off-field life, definitely helps out,” he said, referring to the infamous 2023 “Kelce Bowl” matchup between his Chiefs and Jason’s Eagles, which his side won.

Travis added that he knew what he was getting into when he started dating Swift.

“I brought this upon myself, and I do enjoy having fun with it all, and the biggest thing is making sure my focus is right here in this building,” Kelce told reporters during Friday’s presser.

Kelce continued to point out all of the “outside noise” from the media and fans, and said it’s challenging “dealing with everyone else’s perspective of things” as he gets criticism for having a very public romance during a busy NFL season.

“You hear the media throughout the year if we’re not having success, you know, maybe throw it out there that I wasn’t focused or that the team isn’t focused on certain things, and if you’re in this building, you know exactly what’s going on,” said Kelce.

“So, you gotta compartmentalize what you’re hearing and make sure that you’re staying on task, and giving everybody in the building and on that team the right perception.”

Taylor Swift was all smiles while Travis Kelce gave a short and sweet victory speech after the Kansas City Chiefs secured a spot in the 2024 Super Bowl.

 

“You gotta fight for your right to party!” Kelce shouted Sunday night (Jan. 28). The Chiefs had just defeated the Baltimore Ravens 17-10.

“Believe it, baby, we going to Las Vegas, Nevada!” Kelce announced. “Gonna get us another one!”

Swift looked on, laughing at Kelce’s Beastie Boys reference and grinning. She appeared emotional on the M&T Stadium field.

Swift and Kelce kissed on the field in celebration of the Chiefs’ triumph.

The singer stood by Travis’ side after the game, but stepped away to give him a moment alone with his brother, Jason.

“Goddamn, that was fun to watch,” Jason said as he hugged Travis, to which Travis jokingly replied, “You keep your shirt on this time, or what?” Last weekend, the Philadelphia Eagles center went viral for taking off his shirt, guzzling beer, passionately cheering on his brother and jumping out of a suite into the stands.

Swift had friends Cara Delevingne and Keleigh Teller nearby during the game Sunday night. She was shown on camera cheering when Kelce scored a touchdown.

The pop star kicks off an international leg of her Eras Tour on Feb. 7, beginning with four concerts in Japan. Will Swift attend the Super Bowl on Feb. 11?

Though she has a concert the night before in Tokyo, it’s possible, thanks to the difference in time zones — but her presence at the big game hasn’t been confirmed.

Fans of the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce romance appeared to be split after NFL broadcasters called the “All Too Well” singer Kelce’s “biggest cheerleader,” with some pointing out that they were forgetting about his mom, Donna Kelce.

 

The disagreement stemmed from a moment during today’s Kansas City Chiefs-Baltimore Ravens AFC Championship game as one announcer reflected on how the game was progressing during halftime.

In a clip later shared on social media, the announcer showed footage of Kelce, the Chiefs’ tight end, celebrating a touchdown on the field before switching over to a view of Swift.

The announcer described Kelce as being “utterly dominant in the first half” before referencing his cheering squad. “And, with his biggest cheerleader in attendance, he’s got his Chiefs ahead at the half,” the announcer said.

Swift has certainly received a lot of attention for her attendance at Chiefs games throughout this NFL season. Football fans have joked about how often game-day coverage pans over to show where she’s cheering in various stadiums, though a recent New York Times analysis found that she typically appears on camera for fewer than 25 seconds during games

Some Swift-Kelce fans appeared to love thinking of Swift as Kelce’s number-one fan.

“They weren’t lying when they called her his biggest cheerleader,” said one social media user who shared a clip of the NFL announcer’s comment on X (formerly Twitter).

“‘His biggest cheerleader in attendance’ THAT WAS SO SWEET,” tweeted another.

But others felt as if Donna, known affectionately among fans as “Mama Kelce,” had been overlooked.

An X user put it simply: “His biggest cheerleader? They didn’t show Travis’ mom.”

One fan asked why the NFL’s halftime team was “acting like Mama Kelce isn’t almost always there,” and another asked if “this is why people hate” the league’s “shenanigans.”

Despite the disagreement, all Swift-Kelce fans seemed to get behind the sweet PDA moment that the couple shared on the field at Baltimore’s M&T Bank Stadium after the Chiefs defeated the Ravens 17-10 to secure a spot in Super Bowl LVIII. They also rallied behind photos taken on the field showing Swift embracing both of Travis’ parents

Taylor is a part of the family for a reason,” one fan said simply in response to the family photos.

With today’s game now over, the Chiefs are heading to the Super Bowl for the second year in a row. Super Bowl LVIII will take place on February 11 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Taylor Swift made her 12th NFL appearance at the AFC Championship showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens to cheer on her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce on Sunday.

 

The “Vigilante S—” singer wore her hair down with natural curls and a bold red lip for the occasion. She walked into the M&T Bank Stadium stadium in Baltimore with Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, sporting a black peacoat with a red top and gold necklace underneath.

Fans say the look is giving “Reputation” vibes, her highly anticipated album rerelease the singer has yet to announce.

The singer was also spotted on the field with Kelce’s family for the trophy presentation at Sunday’s game.

“It’s a real love story playing out,” said Olivia Levin, the influencer of the account Swifties for Eternity. “It’s a literal rom com.”

Taylor Swift has proven to be a Chiefs Kingdom good luck charm
No matter what the dads, Brads and Chads say about Swift being a distraction to the Chiefs, the red-and-gold team have an 9-3 record with Swift in the stands.

Will Taylor Swift attend the Super Bowl?

Travis Kelce celebrates with Taylor Swift after a victory against the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game at M&T Bank Stadium.
Now that Kansas City is officially heading to Las Vegas, will Swift possibly be in attendance?

She kicks off the 2024 leg of the Eras tour in Tokyo on Feb. 7-10. Her concert ends, conservatively, at 11 p.m. Saturday night, Feb. 10, which is 6 a.m. Saturday morning in Las Vegas.

The fastest a traveler could fly commercially from Tokyo to Las Vegas would be under 13 hours, according to Google. But Swift has a private jet. So she could be in Nevada with plenty of time to spare before the 3:30 p.m. Sunday kickoff from Allegiant Stadium.

 

Once again, Travis Kelce knew just what to say to make Taylor Swift fans buy his jersey (though we’d all really like to get our hands on a Kristin Juszczyk original).

 

On January 26, Kelce briefly spoke about his relationship with the 34-year-old pop star during a Kansas City Chiefs press conference. Discussing his new level of fame, Kelce told reporters it would be “silly” to say he didn’t “notice it go up” given last year’s Super Bowl win and how he lives his “off-field life.”

“I brought this upon myself and I do enjoy having fun with it all,” Kelce said. “My biggest thing is making sure my focus is right here in this building.”

Focus, of course, being the key word. Following some Chiefs losses earlier this season, Kelce’s dedication to football was called into question as some football fans and critics determined his relationship with Swift was a distraction. Now, the Kansas City Chiefs are just one game away from returning to the Super Bowl for the second time in a row.

“It’s just outside noise, dealing with others’ perspectives of things,” Kelce said of criticism. “You hear the media throughout the year if we’re not having success—you know, maybe throw it out there that maybe I wasn’t focused or that the team isn’t focussed on certain things. If you’re in this building, you know exactly what’s going on, so you got to compartmentalize what you’re hearing and make sure you’re staying on task and giving everybody in that building and on that team the right perception when you walk in that building.”

But that’s not the reason Swifties are gushing about Kelce on social media right now. Here’s what the footballer had to say when asked if he and Taylor Swift have discussed the negative attention: “The only thing we’ve talked about is: as long as we’re happy, we can’t listen to anything that’s outside noise—that’s all that matters.”

10/10 response. No notes. “This is such a small comment, but I just feel like it holds so much weight because he’s pretty much saying in five seconds, ‘Yeah, we’re happy. Yeah, we’re not listening to the outside B.S. that people are spewing,” TikTok user @brittanydelaurentis said in a video that has received over 250,000 views and 23,000 likes. “You just love to hear it—signs of a happy, healthy couple.”

“He is totally in it. They are happy. It’s love. That’s it,” one of many users replied to the fan video. Another wrote, “You know, at first I wasn’t that into it with them but I’ve changed my mind. I’m all in. Hope this is the endgame.”

Jason Kelce joins his brother Travis on the field after victory.

Travis Kelce was surrounded by his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, and his brother, Jason Kelce, to celebrate advancing to the Super Bowl.

Jason and Travis Kelce shared a hug center field. The Philadelphia Eagles center had a simple message for his brother: “Finish it. Finish this.”

“I love you so much,” Jason Kelce added.

The Kansas City Chiefs overcame a mid-season dip in performance and survived the postseason to make it to the AFC Championship against the Baltimore Ravens on Jan. 28.

The Chiefs defeated the Ravens 17-10.

It’s the type of journey football fans know all too well, but this season, the team gained some new supporters: Swifties.

After Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce debuted their relationship at the Sept. 24 Chiefs-Bears game, it sent shockwaves through the combined music and football fandoms. Swifties started learning the rules of football, and sports broadcasters dedicated time on air to discussing the singer’s discography.

The singer was in Baltimore to cheer on the Chiefs and celebrated on the field with her boyfriend after his team secured their place in the 2024 Super Bowl, for the fourth time in five years.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift sealed the NFL star’s big win with a kiss!

Kelce and Swift, both 34, shared a sweet kiss on the field as the Kansas City Chiefs celebrated their big win over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship.

After the game was decided, Swift made her way to the field at M&T Bank Stadium to greet Kelce, who was surrounded by teammates and cameras.

The 12-time Grammy-winning singer planted a kiss on the NFL star as they celebrated the big win. His mother and father, Donna and Ed Kelce, were standing alongside as the couple shared the sweet moment.

Kelce’s speech showed the NFL star’s excitement for his team’s big win. The tight end quoted the Beastie Boys’ lyrics “You’ve got to fight/ for your right/ to party” — the same lyric he repeated last year when they won the 2023 Super Bowl — as he addressed Chiefs friends and family.

Swift was seen laughing as her beau got Chiefs Kingdom hyped for another Super Bowl appearance.

 The Chiefs Are Going to the Super Bowl! Travis Kelce and the Team Beat Baltimore Ravens in AFC Championship

Swift was shown on the broadcast earlier during the Chiefs’ ceremony, as she raised her hands to clap for head coach Andy Reid.

After his speech, Travis greeted his brother, Jason Kelce, on the field. The Philadelphia Eagles center not only pulled out his “Big Yeti” shirt again to cheer for his brother’s Chiefs on Sunday — but he also added an extra layer of clothing over that T-shirt.

In a sequel to his viral shirtless celebration last week, Jason, 36, attended the AFC Championship game, where the Chiefs squared off with the Baltimore Ravens.

Kelce, alongside quarterback Patrick Mahomes, pulled off the AFC Championship win against the Baltimore Ravens 17-10. It will be the second year in a row they’re headed to the big game, after winning the Vince Lombardi Trophy last year.

It was a huge game for Kelce, who officially passed NFL legend Jerry Rice for the most postseason catches in NFL history.

Thursday, Adam Schefter speculated that the reason Bill Belichick wasn’t hired by the Atlanta Falcons was because he’s holding out to be Reid’s successor in Kansas City. The Falcons hired Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris as their head coach Thursday

If the Chiefs were to win the Super Bowl this year, could that, would that make (Reid) more likely to walk?” Schefter said. “And if he did walk, at that point in time and you’re the Kansas City Chiefs, and Bill Belichick were still sitting out there, would that not be an interesting possibility, if that’s what Andy Reid decided to do? To go take a run at arguably the greatest coach of all time and to replace one legend with another?”

Schefter emphasized that it’s purely speculation and that he doesn’t have any sources telling him Reid is ready to walk away.

“Again, we’re having fun,” he said. “We’re throwing things out there.”

Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio believes “the Chiefs are at least thinking, ‘What will we do if he does (retire)?’” but he said he could see the players demanding the organization to go with former offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy as Reid’s successor.

Taylor Swift and new BFF Brittany Mahomes embrace at Chiefs victory party after VERY public PDA with beau Travis Kelce as Chiefs progress to Super Bowl – after telling Ravens fans angry with her constant presence at games: ‘I didn’t do anything’

Taylor Swift blocked out the noise from angry Baltimore Ravens fans and insisted she ‘didn’t do anything’ after they accused her of ‘ruining the NFL’ on Sunday night.

The pop superstar attended her 12th Kansas City Chiefs game of the season to cheer on her boyfriend Travis Kelce, watching him put in a stunning performance to help his team to the Super Bowl.

Kelce’s brilliance left Ravens fans leaving their home stadium unhappy, though, and some of them even took it out on Taylor – shouting abuse at her as she walked hand-in-hand with Brittany Mahomes to the afterparty.

In a clip posted to social media, Swift and Mahomes can be seen walking through the bowels of the stadium in Maryland, while fans shout at them.

While some were supportive, others shouted ‘you’ve ruined the NFL’ at Swift, who quickly defended herself and retorted: ‘I didn’t do anything.’

After the game, Taylor took some abuse from Ravens fans but she quickly defended herself

The abuse didn’t appear to affect Taylor’s mood, meanwhile, as she was pictured just minutes later with her arms wrapped around her new best friend Brittany.

In a series of snaps posted by another of her pals – Keleigh Teller – Swift looks delighted at the result of the game as she celebrates with her Chiefs clan.

She is also pictured alongside Jason, Donna and Ed Kelce – proving she has really integrated herself into her boyfriend’s family after their four months of dating.

Immediately after the game in Baltimore, Swift went down to the field for the first time and was guided to her man by security officials.

In a romantic moment caught by the world’s TV cameras, Kelce – fresh off the field – enjoyed an embrace with Swift, as the pair passionately kissed.

Swift looked almost tearful as the couple had a moment to celebrate together with all eyes on them.

Swift now turns her attention to four nights of her blockbuster Eras Tour in Japan’s capital from February 7-10 before now having to race back to the Allegiant Stadium on the west coast for the biggest night in America’s sporting calendar. But she is expected to make the journey and be there for Kelce.
