Nearly all of the attention this week was on the Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles ahead of their matchup in Super Bowl LIX.

But it wasn’t entirely about football.

Superstar singer Taylor Swift arrived late in the week and dined with boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and their friends, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and wife Brittany.

On Saturday, she was seen with her family and Kylie Kelce, who is Travis Kelce’s sister in law.

Before Swift arrived, there were a bevy of Swift-related questions for Kelce, the Chiefs star tight end. But teammates also were peppered about the international star. For instance, Kansas City defensive lineman Chris Jones talked about her baking skills.

Kelce was asked his thoughts about Swift’s work ethic as she performed her Eras Tour on six continents.

“What I saw on that tour last year was pretty remarkable,” Kelce said. “To see the week in, week out, traveling from one country to the next and how excruciating it is on her body and on her mind.

“It wasn’t just her, it was the entire tour. It was the dancers, it was the band, the singers, everybody involved in it. It was an absolute machine. It was something I can admire watching.”

It was Swift’s turn to admire Kelce’s work ethic on Sunday as she arrived at the Caesars Superdome to watch him and the Chiefs play the Eagles.

Here are photos and videos of Swift’s arrival.
