The Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up to launch the 2024 NFL season, almost seven months after their thrilling victory in Super Bowl LVIII against the San Francisco 49ers. The reigning champions are set to host the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium in what promises to be an electrifying season opener.
Leading the charge for the Chiefs are star quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce, who played pivotal roles in securing their Super Bowl triumph. The Ravens, whom the Chiefs defeated in the AFC Championship to earn their spot in the Super Bowl, will undoubtedly be seeking redemption in this highly anticipated rematch.
The Chiefs recently posted a series of photos on Instagram showing Mahomes, Kelce, and their teammates hard at work in preparation for the upcoming game. The post, captioned “Eyes on the Ravens,” featured the dynamic duo along with players like JuJu Smith-Schuster, Cameron Thomas, Samaje Perine, Rashee Rice, Isiah Pacheco, Trent McDuffie, Baylor Cupp, Mecole Hardman, and Jawaan Taylor, all focused on the task at hand.
However, amidst the excitement for the season opener, some fans couldn’t help but shift their attention to the off-field buzz surrounding Kelce’s relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift. Swift and Kelce’s budding romance has captivated fans and added an extra layer of intrigue to the upcoming game. Many followers flooded the comments section with questions and remarks about whether Swift would be attending the game to support her boyfriend.
“Is Taylor gonna be there???? (She probably is hehehe),” one fan eagerly asked, while another commented, “Let’s go team Taylor’s boyfriend,” in a playful nod to Kelce. The enthusiasm for the couple is evident, with another fan chiming in, “87 (Kelce) looking good,” and a fourth adding, “Eyes on Taylor Swift, penalty flags, and O-line holdings without penalties.”

As the Chiefs set their sights on becoming the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowls by February 2025 in New Orleans, Swift’s presence could potentially become a good luck charm for the team. In a recent interview with NBC Sports, Mahomes praised Swift’s growing interest in football, revealing that she’s been keen on learning more about the sport. “She’s really interested in football, and she asks a lot of great questions,” Mahomes shared. “She even started drawing up plays. We might have to put one in.”
Swift, fresh off the European leg of her blockbuster Eras Tour, recently returned to the U.S. and hosted a star-studded gathering at her $17.75 million Rhode Island vacation home. The event, which included guests like Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds, Zoe Kravitz, Channing Tatum, Jason Kelce, and Patrick Mahomes, served as a final celebration before the grind of the NFL season begins.
With the preseason festivities behind them, the Chiefs are now fully focused on the task ahead as they prepare to open the season on September 5.
The highly anticipated game against the Ravens is set to kick off at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC, marking the official start of what promises to be another thrilling season for Kansas City—and perhaps another chapter in the growing relationship between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.
