Hand in hand, Taylor Swift strolled with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, following the Kansas City Chiefs’ Christmas Day defeat to the Las Vegas Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium, ending 20-14. Kansas City Star photojournalist Nick Wagner captured the moment, sharing a photo on his Instagram Story of the couple walking down an Arrowhead Stadium hallway. “Spent my Christmas waiting for these two lovebirds,” wrote Wagner in the caption.
Swift donned a black and gray plaid miniskirt, a red sweater, black tights, her signature black heeled loafers, and a black bomber jacket. Kelce ported a Chiefs letterman jacket with a cable white knit sweater and gray trousers.
The Christmas Day game witnessed the Raiders surprising the Chiefs with two scores on turnovers within a seven-second span in the first quarter. Despite a late effort by the Chiefs, they couldn’t complete the comeback, resulting in a 9-6 record for the season.
Post-game, Taylor Swift faced online criticism, with many attributing the Chiefs’ recent struggles to Kelce’s relationship with her. The Chiefs have a 3-5 record in their last eight games, with Kelce contributing one touchdown.

This sighting occurred shortly after Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes praised Swift and her friendship with his wife, Brittany Mahomes, in an interview with CBS Mornings. Mahomes expressed admiration for Swift’s dedication to her profession and how she seamlessly became part of the Chiefs community.
Mahomes, a two-time Super Bowl winner, disclosed the initial cautious reception of Swift, stating that everyone kept their distance when she and Kelce started dating. However, as Swift became integrated into the Chiefs Kingdom, the team embraced her, and Mahomes highlighted the bond she formed with Brittany.
Kelce’s off-field activities, especially his relationship with the global superstar, have dominated headlines this season. Despite the Chiefs’ struggles, Mahomes emphasized that Swift is a positive influence and a perfect match for Kelce.
The Chiefs face the challenge of dispelling any notion of a Taylor Swift curse as they enter the playoffs with a less-than-ideal performance.
