Who’s with Taylor Swift at Chiefs-Bills game? Here are celebs, more of Kelce’s family

Buffalo Bills fans both cheered and jeered singer Taylor Swift when she arrived at Highmark Stadium on Sunday to watch the Kansas City Chiefs play the Buffalo Bills.

But once Swift, who is dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, was ensconced in a suite, fans in Bills gear strained to get photos of her with her companions.

Travis’ parents, Ed Kelce and Donna Kelce, were in the suite. And for the first time, Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, and his wife, Kylie Kelce, joined Swift for a Chiefs game.

Something Swift had likely never seen before in person: a shirtless Jason cheering on his brother after Travis scored a touchdown in the second quarter. (Taylor Swift upstaged?)

Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and co-owner of the Kansas City Current soccer team, sat with Swift, too, as usual.

Swift also had some of her famous “squad” with her — BFF model/actress Cara Delevingne and longtime friend Ashley Avignone, a Nashville stylist and interior designer.

Avignone was with Swift in Massachusetts last month when the Chiefs played the New England Patriots. Swifties know her well because her name was the first mentioned in the secret message of Swift’s song “22,” about the singer’s 22nd birthday celebration.

As far as fans could tell, Swift’s suite was where the celebrity action was. Bills fans on social media wanted to see actress Hailee Steinfeld, who is dating their quarterback, Josh Allen. But she was nowhere to be seen, at least by fans in the stadium, as the game began.

“A social cause I care about is the lack of Hailee Steinfeld sightings during Buffalo Bills games,” one Bills fan grumbled in a tweet. “We deserve more!!!”

It wouldn’t be that surprising if she popped up in Swift’s suite. Steinfeld belonged to the singer’s squad during her “1989” era and appeared in Swift’s “Bad Blood” video.
