The days leading up to Saturday night’s AFC Wild Card game between the Chiefs and Dolphins have seen a mix of scouting reports and meteorological forecasts.

Yeah, it’s cold in Kansas City. Like Arctic Circle cold.

One ESPN reporter planned ahead and pitched a tent inside GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

Superstar singer Taylor Swift also came prepared on Saturday night when she returned to Arrowhead Stadium to watch boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Chiefs.

Swift didn’t wear her heart on her sleeve. But she did show support for Kelce while also staying bundled up against the cold, as temperatures were expected to drop to double digits below zero overnight.

Here is a look at Swift’s arrival at Arrowhead Stadium in a Travis Kelce No. 87 puffer coat that was the creation of fashion designer Kristin Juszczyk. She used a Kelce jersey to make the jacket.

The good news for Swift is must have been warmer in the suite at Arrowhead where she watched Saturday night’s game.

One potential problem .. the windows were frozen and Swift kept the coat on during the game.

Here are more photos of Swift arriving for the Chiefs-Dolphins game from Kansas City Star photographer Nick Wagner.
