Taylor Swift is reportedly feeling “thankful” in the aftermath of Travis Kelce’s home burglary that took place last month. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s expansive mansion in Leawood, Kansas, was targeted on the evening of October 7 around 7:30 p.m. while Kelce was away, playing in a game against the New Orleans Saints. The burglary took place while the Chiefs were securing their victory, and unbeknownst to Kelce, his home was being broken into during the game.
According to a source speaking exclusively to Page Six, Swift is relieved that the situation wasn’t worse. “She’s thankful that no one was hurt and that neither of them were home during the robberies,” the insider shared, emphasizing the singer’s gratitude for their safety.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s expansive mansion in Leawood, Kansas, was targeted on the evening of October 7 around 7:30 p.m. while Kelce was away, playing in a game against the New Orleans Saints. The burglary took place while the Chiefs were securing their victory, and unbeknownst to Kelce, his home was being broken into during the game.
Reports from TMZ earlier this week revealed that at least $20,000 in cash was stolen from Kelce’s luxurious property, which he purchased just a year prior in October 2023.
The burglars reportedly damaged the back door of the house to gain entry, leaving behind a significant amount of structural damage in addition to the monetary loss.

Swift, 34, was at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, at the time of the incident, cheering on Kelce, 35, alongside fans. She made headlines during the game for her sparkly appearance, wearing glitter freckles that caught the attention of viewers and cameras alike.
Swift was also seen sharing a warm moment with Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kelce’s teammate Patrick Mahomes. The pair were captured in an affectionate embrace, making for a heartwarming scene during the game.
Following the Chiefs’ victory over the Saints, Swift joined Kelce at an afterparty to celebrate the win, unaware of the distressing events that had unfolded at Kelce’s home earlier that evening.
This troubling incident involving Kelce wasn’t the only one to impact members of the Kansas City Chiefs recently. Less than 48 hours before the break-in at Kelce’s mansion, teammate Patrick Mahomes’ residence in Belton, Missouri, was also targeted by burglars.
The timing of both break-ins raised suspicions, particularly as the Chiefs quarterback, 29, was away from home celebrating Kelce’s 35th birthday on October 5—just hours before the incident occurred.
It remains unclear whether Brittany Mahomes, also 29, and the couple’s two young children, Sterling, 3, and Bronze, 1, were present at their home during the attempted burglary. The string of incidents has left both players and fans on edge, with authorities stepping in to investigate.
Sources told TMZ that the FBI is now working closely with local law enforcement in the aftermath of both break-ins. Authorities suspect the crimes may be connected to a larger organized crime group targeting high-profile individuals, though no official statements have been made regarding the potential connections.
Patrick Mahomes briefly addressed the situation during a press conference on Wednesday, describing the incident as “disappointing.” He added, “I can’t get into too many details because the investigation is still ongoing, but it’s obviously something you don’t want to happen to anybody—and obviously yourself.”
His somber remarks underscored the gravity of the situation and the impact it’s had on the Chiefs players and their families.
Meanwhile, Travis Kelce has yet to publicly comment on the incident. Given the ongoing investigation, it’s likely he’s choosing to remain silent for now.
Fans of both Kelce and Swift are relieved that neither were harmed and are hopeful that the authorities will soon apprehend those responsible. Despite the scare, Swift and Kelce are continuing on with their lives, thankful for their safety and the support from those around them
