Will Taylor Swift attend Thursday night’s Chiefs game?
Travis Kelce and his team are beginning the football season. Their other games in recent weeks have been part of what’s called the “preseason.”
For much of 2023, Taylor Swift was the Chiefs’ good luck charm. She cheered for Travis Kelce in the stands, and they won — all the way up through the Super Bowl in February.
Will Taylor watch Travis begin his 2024 NFL season in person? And how many more games after that will she be able to attend?

Is Taylor Swift attending the first Chiefs game of the 2024 season?
On Thursday, August 5, the NFL season begins. Millions of Taylor Swift fans have learned this (and more) about the football subculture since she first began attending Travis Kelce’s Chiefs games in 2023.
Travis Kelce’s team, the Kansas City Chiefs, will be launching their football season by facing off against the Baltimore Ravens.
The Chiefs will have the alleged home field advantage. But that doesn’t mean that they won’t want the world’s most famous good luck charm on their side, too.
Time is on their side though: as far as commitments go, Taylor won’t be back on her Eras tour for a few more weeks, so she could 100% be available to attend Travis’ first game. Here’s hoping!

The Chiefs Biggest Cheerleader – And Biggest Distraction.
In 2023, Taylor Swift attended 13 Chiefs games. 13 is an auspicious number for many, especially Taylor herself.
We wouldn’t go so far as to say that her presence spurred the team to victory on the field. But Taylor wearing the team’s merch and calling existence to their games caused millions of her fans to, willingly or dragged kicking and screaming, pay more attention to the sport.
At the same time, Taylor Swift’s presence — and the media coverage over her — angered some misogynistic weirdos who just wanted to watch the game and, one assumes, temporarily forget the existence of women.
But let’s just forget about them!

Earlier in 2024, Taylor Swift attended the Chiefs’ most important game: the Super Bowl
In February, Taylor Swift was the topic of a lot of speculation. She was on the Asian leg of her Eras World Tour at the time, playing for massive crowds in sold-out arenas as she has all over the globe.
But, right on the heels of performing in Tokyo, Taylor set off for Las Vegas to watch Travis Kelce play in the Super Bowl. Alongside her friends and his family, she watched the Chiefs score their second Super Bowl win in a row.
Yes, the Chiefs had won in 2023, as many Swifties learned after the fact. The team and their supporters are hoping for a third consecutive win at the end of this season. But how much of that can Taylor watch?

How Many Chiefs Games Will Taylor Attend This Season? Her Schedule, Explained
Taylor Swift isn’t actually done with her Eras Tour. On October 18, Taylor plays in Miami — launching the latest leg of the tour.
The good news is that she will have four more opportunities to cheer for Travis Kelce and the Chiefs at their football games. Assuming that she doesn’t have other scheduling conflicts, still wants to attend, and that she and Travis don’t break up.

Once Taylor is touring again, she’ll keep winding her way through North America until her tour in Vancouver, production site of some of the world’s best television, on December 8. In theory, Taylor should be able to see the Chiefs play in their final four games of the season. (Also the “playoffs” which happen after the season; we have all learned so much about football over this past year)

We’re sure that Travis Kelce appreciates having her in his corner
Not all professional athletes would appreciate being overshadowed by their girlfriend. High profile NFL stars are usually the most famous people in their respective relationships.
But Taylor Swift is one of the most famous people on the planet. She’s a self-made billionaire. And she’s one of the most influential people on the planet.
While it may be humbling for Travis Kelce to realize that millions of people around the globe only know that he exists because of his girlfriend, he seems to take that in stride.
