Taylor Swift skips fiancé Travis Kelce’s Chiefs home opener against Eagles
Taylor Swift fans were left scratching their heads when the pop icon skipped her fiancé Travis Kelce’s first home game of the 2025-26 NFL season. The Kansas City Chiefs faced off against the Philadelphia Eagles at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, on Sunday—a tough matchup just seven months after the Chiefs’ heartbreaking loss in Super Bowl LIX.
Social media buzzed with questions like, “Where’s Taylor?” as fans spotted her empty seat in the stands. Reps for Swift haven’t commented yet, leaving everyone guessing about her absence.
This isn’t the first game she’s missed. Kelce and the Chiefs kicked off their season last Friday in São Paulo, Brazil, but fell short in a 27-21 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Swift wasn’t there either, and she also skipped the VMAs just two days later.
The power couple, both 35, started dating in the summer of 2023 and went public at one of Kelce’s home games that September. Fast forward to August 10 this year: Right after Swift guested on Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast, he popped the question in the lush backyard of his Leawood, Kansas, estate. The NFL tight end got emotional, later telling Erin Andrews he teared up and can’t wait to spend his life with her.
Kelce designed a stunning old mine brilliant-cut diamond ring for the proposal. They kept the news under wraps for about two weeks before announcing it on Instagram on August 26. Their joint post read, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨,” complete with sweet photos of the moment he got down on one knee.
Kelce’s dad, Ed, spilled some heartwarming details later. He said Travis tricked Taylor into heading out for wine in the garden, then surprised her with the proposal. Ed also revealed that Travis asked for permission from Swift’s dad, Scott, a month earlier—classic gentleman move.
As for their big day, insiders say Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are planning a low-key, private wedding with just family and close friends—no royal extravaganza here. One source told Page Six it’s “more casual than people think,” and it might happen at Swift’s Rhode Island mansion next summer. Why the rush? Rumors swirl that she’s eager to start a family soon.
Looking ahead, the engaged duo is reportedly house-hunting, with eyes on an $18 million property in Ohio for their post-wedding life. Swifties, stay tuned—more Taylor Swift engagement updates and Travis Kelce NFL news are sure to drop soon!
