Taylor Swift has a history of cheering on teams with a Kelce on their roster, even before she started dating Travis Kelce.
Swift recently released her new Disney+ docuseries, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour | The End of an Era, which chronicles the six months of developing and rehearsing for the titular tour.
In the first episode, Swift, who will be 36 on Dec. 13, arrives on the first day of rehearsals representing the Philadelphia Eagles. Swift grew up near Reading, Penn., and confirmed she was an Eagles fan after writing a lyric about an Eagles t-shirt in her 2020 song “Gold Rush.”

Months after the rehearsals, Swift’s allegiance shifted toward the Kansas City Chiefs as her romance with Kelce developed.

The Eras Tour began in March 2023, one month after the Chiefs defeated the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII. It was the first Super Bowl in which two brothers, Travis and Eagles center Jason Kelce, faced one another.
In July 2023, Travis attended the Eras Tour stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. While the football star traded friendship bracelets with fans inside the venue, he revealed weeks later that he actually tried — and failed — to meet Swift after the show.
A couple months later, Swift attended the Chiefs’ game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium, her first time seeing Travis play in person.
The pair have publicly shared their support for one another, but during the first episode of The End of an Era, the couple privately discussed the similarities in their professions.
“We basically do the same job,” Swift told Travis during a phone call.
“You got teammates, I got teammates,” Kelce said in response.
Swift replied, “You’ve got Coach Reid, I’ve got…my mom,” as they both burst into laughter.
As the conversation winds down, Kelce tells Swift, “Thanks for making my life better.” Swift then responds, “I know, this was like — some people get a vitamin drip. I got this conversation.”
Swift shared her gratitude for her fiancé while appearing on the Wednesday, Dec. 10 episode of The Late Show, telling host Stephen Colbert that being engaged to “the love of [her] life” is one thing she’s most grateful for.
Swift and Travis announced that they got engaged on Aug. 26 with a sweet joint Instagram post captioned, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨.”
