Taylor Swift celebrates ‘perfect’ Chiefs win during her return to Kansas City to cheer on boyfriend Travis Kelce
Taylor Swift was back in Kansas City to cheer on her beau Travis Kelce and donned the Chiefs’ 5-0 record as the “perfect” way for the team to roll into their bye week following Monday night’s win.
The “Cruel Summer” singer appeared on the Instagram story of Chariah Gordon, the partner of Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr., following the team’s 26-13 win against the New Orleans Saints.
Swift, 34, who was enjoying a drink inside a VIP box at Arrowhead Stadium and standing next to a framed picture of herself during her Eras Tour, was asked by Gordon how she felt about the team’s fifth straight victory on a video posted to her Instagram story.
“No, it’s important that you answer the question this time,” Swift replied.
“I think that we feel really good about this week; we are 5-0,” Gordon said, as Swift then interjected that the win is a massive one for the team as they head “into a bye week.”
“It is perfect,” Gordon stated.
“Perfect is the word,” the “Blank Space” singer bolstered.
Swift then pointed to the framed picture of herself and playfully apologized for “photobombing” herself before the video ended.
The pop superstar, who missed the Chiefs’ past two games — both road wins — arrived at the stadium before kickoff in a plaid minidress and high black boots.
Travis Kelce’s brother, retired NFL center Jason Kelce, was on-air on ESPN when the network flashed a video of Swift making her entrance into the stadium, and the video led to Jason praising Swift’s outfit.
“Hey, look at that now. She’s got the part on right there. That looks good,” Jason said before delving back into his analysis of Travis’ play on the field.
The pop icon, however, didn’t fly solo to the game.
She watched her boyfriend go off on the field alongside her father, Scott Swift, from their suite.
The singer looked giddy after the tight end made a lateral pass to teammate Samaje Perine in the second quarter.
ESPN cameras also caught Swift clapping for another play of Kelce’s — with Troy Aikman commenting that “the Mrs. likes it,” referring to a play made by her four-time All-Pro boyfriend.
Swift seemed to have brought out the best in Kelce during the game after the three-time Super Bowl champ’s slow start to the 2024 season.
By halftime, Kelce led the Chiefs in receptions with eight and was tied with JuJu Smith-Schuster for most receiving yards with 67.
His longest reception of the half was a 21-yard catch that came in the first quarter off a short pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Kelce ended the night with nine catches for 70 yards, averaging 7.8 yards per reception.
Monday night’s game had no shortage of Fanfare, as ESPN revealed that Saints defensive tackle Khalen Saunders’ brother, Kameron, was a backup dancer on Swift’s Eras Tour.
Moments later, the defensive tackle recorded his first career interception in the third quarter.
Following the Chiefs’ week six bye, the team will travel to San Francisco to face the 49ers at Candlestick Stadium on Oct. 20.
The game will be the first time the teams face off against each other since Kansas City’s Super Bowl LVIII win over San Francisco in February.

Kansas’ Bidunga, Wake Forest’s Harris, Saint Mary’s Murauskas among players entering men’s portal
Kansas big man Flory Bidunga, Wake Forest’s Juke Harris and Saint Mary’s Paulius Murauskas were among the parade of players entering the transfer portal Tuesday, the first of 15 days Division I men’s basketball players can go looking for a new school.
Bidunga finished his second season with the Jayhawks as the Big 12 defensive player of the year and an Associated Press All-Big 12 second-team pick. He averaged 13.3 points and 9.0 rebounds per game and was a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Center of the Year finalist. He led the Big 12 and was fourth nationally with 91 blocked shots and 10th in field-goal shooting at 64%.
Bidunga recorded 13 double-doubles and was the only Division I player to average more than 13 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.5 blocked shots.
Harris was voted the Atlantic Coast Conference’s most improved player after he increased his scoring average from 6.1 points per game as a freshman to 21.4 this past season. He also was an AP All-ACC second-team pick after becoming one of two players in program history to score 750 points in a season.
Murauskas was the West Coast Conference’s second-leading scorer with 18.4 points per game and had two 30-point games. He was an All-WCC first-team pick both years he was with the Gaels after transferring from Arizona.
Purdue announced it had signed forward Caden Pierce, who played three seasons at Princeton and sat out this year as a redshirt while completing his degree. Pierce started 89 games for the Tigers and was 2023-24 Ivy League player of year after averaging 16.6 points, 9.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists. He chose the Boilermakers over Duke, Gonzaga, Louisville and Connecticut.

WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) – A Kansas woman has been sentenced to 20 years in federal prison after being caught with a large amount of fentanyl pills.
According to court documents, 51-year-old Mana Elena Reyes from Wichita pleaded guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute fentanyl.
Reyes had multiple discussions between April and May of 2023 with a person she was unaware was an undercover officer with the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office. During the conversations, she discussed purchasing and selling methamphetamine and fentanyl.
The Kansas Highway Patrol conducted a traffic stop and searched Reyes’ vehicle, where they found approximately 115,000 fentanyl pills and over 4,000 grams of methamphetamine. They also found heroin, fentanyl powder and cocaine.
