Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were spotted cuddling at a post-game party celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs’ win over the New Orleans Saints on Monday, October 7.

In a photo from the party, which was shared by an Instagram user who attended the event the same night, Swift, 34, and Kelce, 35, were pictured in a classic prom pose, with the professional NFL player holding the 14th time . Grammy Award winner in his arms as they both smiled at the camera.

A video shared by a fan on TikTok on game day also shows the couple sharing a sweet moment together in the VIP booth at the stadium, just before heading to the party. The video shows Swift clinging to Chief’s tight end with her arms around him and her chin resting on his shoulder.

During Monday night’s game, Swift cheered on her friend from the VIP suite at Arrowhead Stadium. It had been more than two weeks since she attended a Chiefs game.

Fans speculated that her absence was an indicator of everything from a rumored breakup to the fact that Kelce has had a rough start this season. Others went as far as to believe Swift’s presence at the games was a positive omen for the team, with one fan on streak.. hmmm,” while another added, “No Taylor Swift, no party? No Taylor Swift in attendance, and the Chiefs lost to the Broncos for the first time in EIGHT years!” A third simply carried the phenomenon ‘The No Taylor Swift Effect’.

The Pennsylvania native flew to Kansas City just after Kelce’s 35th birthday on Saturday, October 5. The NFL athlete was seemingly unfazed that the Grammy winner did not attend the Kelce Car Jam and commented on his girlfriend’s absence during an interview captured in a post on X (formerly known as Twitter). In the video, he tells the reporter, “She won’t be here right now,” and later adds, “I know she’s coming for the game,” though it wasn’t clear Kelce was talking about Swift. According to Page sixSwift has been busy rehearsing her reboot Eras tourwhich starts again on Friday, October 18 in Miami.
