Taylor Swift MISSES first NFL game of season with Travis Kelce’s girlfriend not in Atlanta for Chiefs vs Falcons showdown

Taylor Swift appears to have skipped her first NFL game of the season – with the pop megastar nowhere to be seen in Atlanta as the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Falcons tonight.  Swift attended boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Chiefs’ opening two games of the 2024 campaign, both of which were played in Kansas City.

She also racked up thousands of air miles following the team last season, even jetting over 5,000 miles from Tokyo to Las Vegas to make it to the Super Bowl in February.  Yet despite the current gap in her Eras Tour schedule, Swift seems to have turned down the chance to join the Chiefs on the road in Atlanta this evening.  The songstress has not been spotted landing in the Georgia city or making it to Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the game, which kicked off at 8:20pm ET. Kelce, meanwhile, arrived wearing an oversized black suit and red sneakers.

On Saturday she was spotted on a lowkey night out with BFF Gigi Hadid in New York City, where she rocked a plaid miniskirt as they grabbed a bite to eat at The Corner Store restaurant in SoHo.  Swift is not in attendance despite Kansas City making a clever reference about her in a post on X tonight.

Alongside a photo of Kelce arriving at the stadium, the Chiefs captioned the post: ‘Happiness. Fun. Magic.’  That caption was a reference to Swift’s famous VMA Awards speech earlier this month, in which she lauded her man for the ‘fun’ and ‘magic’ he gives her.  Her legion of fans loved the reference and took to the replies to share their approval.

‘That caption is perfect,’ said another.

‘I see what you did there,’ a third fan added.

Kelce was dressed for the occasion when he made his arrival at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in a bold oversized black jacket and tie.  The tight end completed the look with a white dress shirt, sunglasses and bright red sneakers after he boarded the team bus in black slip-ons moments before.  Meanwhile, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes also looked dapper as he wore a navy pinstriped suit and a baby blue tie.

Kansas City will be looking to improve to 3-0 after wins against the Ravens and Bengals.  When he touched down in Atlanta on Saturday, Kelce stepped off the plane donning a similar all-black outfit to the one he arrived at the stadium in a day later  And fans were convinced he had Swift on the brain when deciding what to wear for the flight.  In a video captured by the Chiefs’ media team, Travis walked down the steps of the plane in an all-black ensemble – including a cap that read: ‘He got game’.

He wore a black t-shirt with a blazer over the top, black pants, black slip-on sandals, and he carried a black bag in his right hand.  The bold look instantly sent Swifties wild on social media, as they claimed he was referencing his girlfriend’s 2017 album Reputation.  During the Reputation ‘Era’ of her sold-out worldwide tour, which Kelce has regularly attended, Swift dons her own all-black outfit on stage.

In the comments section on the Chiefs’ post, one fan wrote: ‘Big reputation,’ while another added: ‘Who’s afraid of little old Travvy… you should be’, referencing some Swift lyrics.  Others, though, were not so fond of the fit, as one noted: ‘Ewww he blew it with that outfit. Those pants and shoes got to go.’  Somebody else asked: ‘Why is he wearing slippers?’
