Lena Dunham opens up about her Chiefs fandom after attending Sunday’s game
Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has a suite at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, and it was packed with celebrities Sunday night.
Leonardo DiCaprio, Selena Gomez, Lena Dunham and Taylor Swift gathered to watch the Chiefs, who lost 20-10 to the Houston Texans. Some on social media wondered why Dunham, who created the TV show “Girls,” would have been watching the Chiefs.
We may not have known it until this past weekend, but Dunham can be added to the rather impressive list of celebrity Chiefs fans.
Dunham shared a bit about her Chiefs’ fandom in an Instagram post.
“My first home team (I happen to be a New Yorker who lives in London who roots for Kansas City, so sue me 😍) and my first home game with my forever home boy @michaelpcohen,” Dunham wrote. “If you see me in a new piece of Chiefs merch every day for the next 17 months blame @handler.official and keep moving.
“She’s in her sports era - people have questions (and by people I mean my parents, who spent my childhood having to ask me to do light laps of the apartment during the summers so I didn’t get bed sores!). And a guy on the plane home is reading some Alan Watts, always a good sign. Love you @killatrav”
That last mention was the Instagram handle for Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. He’s got a long list of celebrity pals thanks to superstar singer Taylor Swift, Kelce’s fiancée, and his work in Hollywood.
