Taylor Swift arrives at Chiefs-Raiders game with Travis Kelce’s mom, Donna

We may never know if superstar singer Taylor Swift does much Black Friday shopping, but if so, she took a break this year.

With a break in the Eras Tour, Swift returned to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on Friday to watch boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Chiefs face AFC West rival Las Vegas Raiders.

Swift was in Kansas City for last year’s Chiefs-Raiders game and it made for a Blue Christmas. The Chiefs lost the game and Kelce lost his cool, throwing his helmet on the sideline.

That was the low point of the 2023 season for the Chiefs, who didn’t lose again until earlier this month in Orchard Park, New York when the Bills handed KC its first defeat of the 2024 season.

Swift arrived Friday at Arrowhead Stadium with Kelce’s mother. Swift wore a resplendent Chiefs red jacket.

Take a look.

Fans shared a closer look at the No. 87 necklace Swift was wearing and that jacket.
