Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour might be on pause, but her performances are far from over. Fans are convinced that the Grammy-winning singer brought some of her onstage energy to Arrowhead Stadium during the Kansas City Chiefs’ season opener on Thursday, where she was spotted enthusiastically cheering on her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
In a now-viral clip, Swift was seen doing what many believe is a playful nod to one of her famous dance moves. The pop star performed an exaggerated bow followed by an enthusiastic round of clapping as the Chiefs faced off against the Baltimore Ravens. Fans were quick to notice the similarity to a move from her “So High School” choreography, a routine she performed during her Eras Tour. Social media quickly lit up with comparisons, with one fan on X (formerly Twitter) posting a side-by-side video of Swift performing the same move onstage while singing her song “Tortured Poets Department”—a track widely rumored to be about Kelce.
“So High School vibes,” the fan captioned the video, while another pointed out that Swift even seemed to be mouthing similar lyrics as she cheered from her suite. “It kinda looked like she was singing along,” the fan noted. The post sparked excitement among Swifties, with one user exclaiming, “LOVING THIS FOR US.”
In addition to her dance moves, Swift’s fashion was another major talking point. The singer turned heads as she arrived at Arrowhead Stadium in a chic denim ensemble paired with over-the-knee burgundy boots by Giuseppe Zanotti. Fans immediately drew parallels between this look and the thigh-high boots Swift wore in her iconic “Look What You Made Me Do” music video.
The stylish nod to her Reputation era had fans buzzing, especially as they eagerly await the release of Reputation (Taylor’s Version)—the next re-recording in Swift’s ongoing project to reclaim her music catalog.
Swift’s presence at the Chiefs game wasn’t just felt in the stands; she was also featured prominently in the NFL’s season-opening promo, appearing multiple times throughout the broadcast. As the game progressed, cameras frequently panned to Swift, who sat alongside Travis Kelce’s father, Ed, and shared drinks and conversation with him while intently watching the action on the field.
The Chiefs’ star tight end and Swift have been dating since July 2023, and the singer has been a regular at NFL games since making her first appearance at a Chiefs game in September. Their relationship has been a fan-favorite storyline, though it has also sparked rumors and speculation. Recently, a viral conspiracy theory claimed that their romance was part of a “contract” set to end this month as part of a planned “breakup.” However, Travis’ rep debunked the rumor, telling Page Six that the claim was “false and fabricated.” A separate source later clarified that the so-called “contract” originated as part of a school project.
During Thursday’s game, Swift and Kelce shared a sweet moment when Kelce completed his first pass of the season. He subtly pointed toward Swift in the suite, and the singer beamed in response, celebrating the play by hugging Kelce’s mom, Donna Kelce.
As the game concluded with a win for the Chiefs, the couple left the stadium hand-in-hand, a gesture that only further solidified their place as the NFL’s latest power couple.
Swift’s continued support of Kelce, combined with her playful dance moves and standout fashion, keeps fans eagerly watching not only the Chiefs’ games but also the evolution of their high-profile romance.
