Time magazine’s Person of the Year spent part of the final day of 2023 at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

Superstar singer Taylor Swift arrived more than an hour before kickoff of Sunday’s Chiefs-Cincinnati Bengals game on New Year’s Eve.

Swift was wearing a jacket that was similar to one her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, had on for KC’s Christmas Day game against the Las Vegas Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium.

This is video of Swift at Arrowhead Stadium from KSHB sports anchor Aaron Ladd.

Here are some photos of Swift’s arrival from The Star’s Tammy Ljungblad and Nick Wagner.

On Monday, Kelce was wearing a varsity jacket from Jeff Hamilton, a Paris-raised fashion designer. You can read more about that coat here.

This is how Kelce looked on Christmas Day.

The Taylor Swift Style Instagram account noted a small difference in the coats, which both appear to be from Hamilton. Swift’s jacket has a striped cuff, while Kelce’s was a leather button cuff.

Here’s guessing that Kelce’s jacket is a larger size, too.
