This was the first Kansas City Chiefs game that Taylor has missed in the 2024 NFL season. She was previously at the team’s 27-20 season opener against the Baltimore Ravens and last week’s 26-25 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Both victories were at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
While Travis Kelce was preparing for Sunday’s game, Taylor Swift was in New York City with Gigi Hadid. The pop icon was wearing a cropped black top with long sleeves, a short plaid skirt, and heeled snakeskin ankle boots as she and Hadid were spotted grabbing dinner at The Corner Store.
Although Kelce had a good game this week, he was previously criticized by ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith following the matchup against the Bengals. The correspondent called out the tight end’s performance and Swift’s appearance being the center of attention instead of the game.
“I love my brother from another in Travis Kelce, but we saw more of Taylor Swift than we saw of Travis Kelce yesterday, on a Sunday afternoon,” Smith said. “That wasn’t supposed to happen. We were supposed to see more of Travis Kelce yesterday than we saw of her.”
Smith continued by calling out the famous couple. “That’s not happening though. You’ve got to get going, you’ve got 39 receiving yards in the first two games. Come on now. Football season is here. Honeymoon’s over. Let’s handle our business, OK.”
Blake Shelton Compared Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Romance to Gwen Stefani Relationship
During his appearance on The Pat McAfee Show last week, Blake Shelton discussed Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s very public relationship. He praised the famous couple for “putting it out there in everybody’s face.” Shelton believes that’s similar to how he and Gwen Stefani approach their relationship.
“He’s a standout no matter where he is or what he’s doing,” Shelton said about Kelce,noting Kelce has a big personality and is a funny guy. He walks into the room, and he has a presence there, so there’s never going to be that moment where he’s in the shadows anyway just because of his charisma and his personality anyway.”
The country superstar also shared, “He just kind of owns the moment, whatever that is, whether it’s that picture you just had up there at one of her shows, you know? He’s just willing to go there. I love his personality. He’s a ton of fun — his brother too. I’m a fan of both of theirs.”
Shelton went on to add that Swift and Kelce are in it for the long run. “The fact that they’re both just kind of putting it out there in everybody’s face. There’s no sneaking around, or trying to tamp things down or keep it on the down low.”
