Will Taylor Swift be at the Chiefs-Ravens game?

Ah yes, the million dollar question.

“It’s always a bit of a surprise, but I’m sure the TV cameras will find her,” Hunt said Today‘S Craig Melvin on thursday.

Swift’s tour schedule will allow her to attend the first five Chiefs games of the season, including next week’s Sept. 15 showdown against Joe Burrow and the Bengals in Kansas City — before the “Eras Tour” begins its final run of shows in Miami on October 18.
