Taylor Swift has made her long-awaited return to Arrowhead Stadium to cheer on her boyfriend Travis Kelce after missing his birthday on Saturday and the Kansas City Chiefs’ last two games.
Swift made it to the first two games of the season in Kansas City, but then missed road games against the Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Chargers. But now he’s back, as the Chiefs try to continue their winning start against the New Orleans Saints.
He has been enjoying a break from his Eras Tour, which starts again next week in Miami, meaning his absence from Kelce’s games has come as a surprise over the past fortnight.
But she will take a seat in the stands to cheer on Kelce as he tries to lead the Chiefs to a 5-0 start in their quest for a historic third straight Super Bowl title.
Her appearance also silences fears that the couple have split after a leaked ‘contract’ claiming they were to break up at the end of September appeared online.

Kelce was warming up on the field with his team when Swift arrived.
The couple was last seen together at the US Open in New York in late September.
The document, apparently printed on the letterhead of his US public relations firm, was circulated online, Mr. Kelce called lawyers, and yet, although the breakup announcement never materialized, the The public had not seen them together since the date indicated on the piece of paper.
They were last seen together in New York for the US Open men’s final, where they were joined by Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany.
It was also the first time Swift and Brittany were seen together since Mahomes publicly endorsed Donald Trump ahead of the upcoming election, a sight that contradicts Swift’s political allegiance. He has since publicly endorsed Kamala Harris.
Swift was missing when Kelce celebrated her 35th birthday on Saturday by hosting her ‘Car Jam’ charity event in Kansas City, raising money for her 87 and Running foundation.
But he was caught on camera telling attendees that he anticipated Swift would be at Monday’s game to cheer him on against the New Orleans Saints.

Swift was also spotted with Brittany Mahomes for the first time since endorsing Donald Trump.
The tight end arrived at Arrowhead Stadium about two hours before kickoff wearing a black T-shirt and baggy shorts. He also appeared to be wearing a pair of white shoes before the game.
Kelce has had a shaky start to the season for the Chiefs, but indicated he is on track to return to his best form in last weekend’s hard-fought 17-10 win against the Chargers.
He had 89 yards on seven receptions in the game, more than he had in his first three games combined.
The game is played tonight and also has additional meaning for Jason, Kelce’s older brother.
It is the first game Travis has called as an analyst for ESPN since he retired earlier this year after a 13-year career with the Philadelphia Eagles.
