Recording artist Taylor Swift reacts after the AFC Championship game against the Buffalo Bills at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

Friday night's game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers has a little extra intrigue this time around. Fans across the globe are patiently waiting to see if a global superstar makes an appearance tonight – no, not Travis Kelce.

While Kelce is certainly eager to be putting a disappointing 2024 campaign behind him, all eyes are instead fixated on his other half – Taylor Swift.

The pop star has become a fixture at Chiefs games since her relationship began with Kelce two seasons ago. Her presence and the emphasis on it has drawn mixed reactions, but there's no doubt that Swift will be a talking point on Friday night in Sao Paulo.

Swift traveled for multiple games during her first season with Kelce, but only attended home games in 2024 before making the trip to Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans.

With the pair having recently announced their engagement, it begs the question – will Swift attend the NFL's Brazil game? Here's what to know.

Is Taylor Swift at the Chiefs game tonight?

Swift's attendance for the Chiefs game against the Chargers has not been confirmed for Friday night.

It may not seem like a big deal, but Kelce's fiancée's attendance seems to indicate a trend in his performance over the last two seasons. The star tight end seems to get a boost when Swift is around, but it is notably that she missed both games against the rival Chargers in 2024.

During the 2023 season, Kelce recorded 12 catches and 179 yards in Week 7, both season-highs. He also added a touchdown in what has been, statistically, one of the best games of Kelce's career and certainly his best since this relationship began.

Here's a breakdown of his stats with and without her in attendance.
