REVEALED: Why The Kansas City Chiefs Refuse To Play Taylor Swift Songs At Home Games and It Will Shock You

This is the singer’s second season as a Chiefs fan as her relationship with the tight end continues for another year.

Tonight makes Swift’s 14th game overall, and many of them have been home games.

Despite her being at Arrowhead so much, the team has never played any of her hit songs.

That is done by design.

At the World Congress of Sports last year, Chiefs president Mark Donovan says the team was careful not to brighten that spotlight on its star tight end.

“This is another conversation we had with Travis was, we did our very best to respect the relationship,” Donovan told Front Office Sports, (first transcribed by Sports Illustrated).

Last season, in Arrowhead Stadium, we didn’t play a single Taylor Swift song during our games. And that was a sign of respect. We’re not trying to capitalize on this. We’re trying to celebrate it, but it’s not about doing too much or showing her every touchdown or anything like that. She never appeared on our big board.”

Being looked at even more did not seem to deter Travis Kelce, with Taylor Swift in the stands. He finished the regular season with 93 receptions for 984 yards and five touchdowns. During the Chiefs’ playoff run, he caught 32 passes for 355 yards and three scores, per his stats on ESPN.
Taylor Swift attended 13 Chiefs games last season to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his team.

Swift will attend Travis Kelce’s first game of the 2024 NFL season, which will be Thursday night, when the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Ravens.

She’s in the midst of a two-month tour break after her European leg ended in August, which means she could get to many of Kelce’s early-season games.

The tour will restart in North America in October.
