  • Taylor Swift attended Chiefs game on Dec. 25, breaking her season silence.
  • Speculation grew that Thursday night marked Kelce’s probable final home game with Chiefs.
  • Kelce, 36 in his 13th season, is in his final contract year and will marry Swift.

All season, superstar singer Taylor Swift has quietly watched fiancé Travis Kelce play his home games at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

In years past, Swift would walk past photographers at the stadium before kickoff.

But not so this season. She’s mostly stayed out of the limelight — until Christmas night. Swift was spotted by Amazon Prime cameras arriving a little late to see Kelce and the Chiefs take on the Broncos.

There was a lot of speculation that Thursday night’s game might be the last home game for Kelce, who is in the final year of his contract with the Chiefs. Kelce, who has helped the Chiefs win three Super Bowl championships, is set to marry Swift this offseason.

And Kelce, 36, is in his 13th season, so he’s been playing football for a long time. So many people believe he won’t be back next season for the Chiefs.
