Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were all smiles as they cozied up for a sweet post-game photo after the Kansas City Chiefs’ 26-13 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. The couple, who have quickly become the most talked-about duo in both sports and entertainment, were spotted embracing at a party following the game, captured in a photo shared by Instagram user Shonna Rose.
In the group photo, Kelce stood behind Swift, beaming as he wrapped his arms around her waist. Swift, holding a cocktail in one hand, gently placed her other hand over Kelce’s, flashing a soft smile as she tilted her head. The couple’s affectionate pose lit up social media, further fueling fans’ excitement over their blossoming relationship.
While it’s unclear exactly where the post-game celebration took place or who else was in attendance, eagle-eyed fans did spot comedian Andrew Santino in the background, suggesting the gathering may have been a star-studded affair.
Santino had been in town just two days prior for a comedy show, adding intrigue to the guest list.
Swift wore the same chic Vivienne Westwood plaid skirt set she sported at the game, along with her signature glitter freckles. However, she did switch out her black platform knee-high boots for a more comfortable pair of black mid-calf boots adorned with a gold chain detail. Meanwhile, Kelce, 35, changed back into his pre-game outfit: a black short-sleeve button-up, cargo shorts, and sneakers.
The post-game celebration came after the couple shared an intimate moment in Kelce’s VIP suite following the game. In a TikTok video posted by a fan (@t_swift1389), Swift and Kelce were seen pulling each other close, sharing a kiss, and swaying together as they chatted with their fathers, Scott Swift and Ed Kelce.
The duo’s PDA has only solidified their status as one of the most beloved couples in pop culture today.
The Chiefs’ win marked the first game Swift had attended in three weeks, a noticeable absence that had sparked questions among fans.
A source revealed that Swift’s recent no-shows at away games were primarily due to security concerns. “She has worked with Arrowhead so many times, they feel at ease and comfortable. Going to all kinds of different stadiums, you need to send a team in advance,” the source explained.
Since making their relationship public in September 2023, Swift has been a frequent presence at Kelce’s games, cheering him on from the stands at more than a dozen matches. Her attendance has not only boosted fan enthusiasm but has also helped her form close bonds with other NFL wives and girlfriends.
Swift has grown particularly close to Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and Chariah Gordon, fiancée of wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr., both of whom regularly feature Swift in their social media posts.
Adding to the significance of the night, Swift’s appearance in Kansas City may have also coincided with a belated celebration for Kelce’s 35th birthday, which took place on the previous Saturday.
Though Swift was not present for Kelce’s charity event, the Kelce Car Jam, or the comedy show he attended later that evening with his brother, Jason Kelce, and Patrick Mahomes, her presence on Monday night suggests she may have made the trip to spend some quality time with Kelce after his big day.
With the Chiefs continuing their winning streak and Swift by Kelce’s side, the couple seems to be thriving both on and off the field, leaving fans eagerly awaiting their next public appearance.
Whether it’s in the stadium or at a post-game celebration, Swift and Kelce’s relationship shows no signs of slowing down.
