Taylor Swift concerts are known for attracting famous faces, and her shows at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium were no different.
Mahomes a Swiftie?
If you thought that a show as big as Taylor Swift’s could take place in Patrick Mahomes’ workplace without him being there, you were wrong.
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, attended the singer’s Saturday night concert.
“Just being Swifties,” Brittany wrote on an Instagram post that showed both of them at the concert. A TikTok user posted a video of Mahomes being handed a Swiftie bracelet as he appeared to be walking toward a stadium suite.
Gracie Hunt, daughter of the team’s CEO and owner, Clark Hunt, attended the Friday concert and returned Saturday, according to her social media.
On Friday, the celebrities in the house were Hollywood royalty — actress Jennifer Garner and actor Taylor Lautner, an ex-boyfriend of Swift’s who joined her on stage as she debuted a new music video he made with her.
An ex at Arrowhead
But it was the apparent appearance of Swift’s ex, actor Taylor Lautner, that really got fans buzzing.
“So true taylor lautner came for the drama,” one Twitter user posted.
Swift and Lautner — who played werewolf Jacob Black in the “Twilight” movies — dated for several months in the fall of 2009 and broke up that December.
He is thought (known?) to be the inspiration behind Swift’s emotional breakup ballad “Back to December,” the second single from her 2010 “Speak Now” album. The two met on the set of the movie, “Valentine’s Day.”
The song is up for new discussion among Swifties now that a new version is included on “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).
First celebs of Night 1
Swifties were quick to spot actress Jennifer Garner near a VIP tent inside the stadium. A young woman who appeared to be Garner’s 17-year-old look-alike daughter, Violet Affleck, was with her.
Fans took photographs of Garner signing autographs before the show.
“Jennifer Garner is attending The Eras Tour tonight in Kansas City with her daughter!” the Taylor Swift Updates Twitter account posted.
Gracie Hunt, daughter of Kansas City Chiefs CEO and owner Clark Hunt, posted a photo of herself dressed for and headed to the concert, too.
According to her social media posts, she has been vacationing for the last few weeks with her family.
Other celebrities who have been seen at Swift’s Eras Tour shows since it kicked off in March include Emma Stone, Shania Twain, Laura Dern, Reese Witherspoon and Selena Gomez, according to Billboard.
