Will Taylor Swift attend the Kansas City Chiefs’ season opener against the Baltimore Ravens this Thursday? It’s a question that’s been making the rounds this week, as speculation about the pop star’s presence at NFL games continues to grow.
Just moments ago, Dianna Russini of The Athletic shared an update on Swift’s possible appearance at Arrowhead Stadium. According to Russini, the Chiefs and their security teams are preparing for Swift to be in attendance for the Week 1 matchup.
“The Chiefs and their security teams are expecting Taylor Swift to attend tonight’s game,” Russini reported. “She has been a positive influence on this organization during a roller-coaster offseason.”
While the news of Swift’s expected appearance might excite some fans, it has also sparked a mixed reaction from the NFL community. Some fans are growing weary of the constant updates surrounding her presence at games, particularly when the focus should be on the action on the field.
NFL fans took to social media to express their feelings about the latest Swift sighting. One user sarcastically tweeted, “NFL Fan Watch Alert – Season 2 (Taylor’s Version) begins in earnest tonight.” Another added, “Please not another whole season of this,” signaling fatigue over the attention Swift garners. A third fan chimed in with, “Here we go with this again,” while another joked, “Oh god here we go again, we know who’s winning the SB already.”

It’s understandable why some fans are feeling a bit fatigued by the constant focus on Swift. She’s been in the global spotlight for months due to her record-breaking Eras Tour, and now, her potential appearance at an NFL game is grabbing headlines as well. For die-hard football fans, the last thing they want is for the pregame conversation to be overshadowed by Swift’s attendance, especially during a high-stakes AFC showdown between two top contenders like the Chiefs and Ravens.
On the other hand, Swift is not impacting the game itself—she’s simply there to support her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. While her presence might generate media buzz, it doesn’t affect the actual outcome on the field. Fans who are frustrated by the coverage may need to accept that Swift, one of the biggest global stars, will continue to draw attention wherever she goes.
As the Chiefs and Ravens prepare to kick off at 8:20 p.m. ET, the focus should ideally shift back to the game. Both teams are looking to start their 2024 NFL campaign on the right foot, and this matchup between powerhouse franchises promises to deliver exciting football.
Whether or not Swift is in the stands, the battle on the field will be what ultimately matters to players and fans alike.
