Taylor Swift has arrived at the 2024 Super Bowl in support of her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Blake Lively and rapper Ice Spice were walking beside Swift, as she stepped into Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium wearing a black cropped corset and crystal-slit jeans from Area, with a red-and-white jacket slung over her shoulder. The singer-songwriter is prepared to root for Kelce and his teammates as they face off against the San Francisco 49ers in the NFL’s biggest game of the year.
Swift dominated pregame coverage on CBS Sports’ NFL today, even hours before kickoff. Kansas City Chiefs Andy Reid was asked about the singer and said that he was a fan of hers even before she started dating one of his star players — although he noted his music of choice was more aligned with bands like The Oak Ridge Boys. There was also a Kansas City Chiefs celebration package which ran which was filled with footage of Swift watching and reacting to games throughout the season, including footage of her kissing Kelce on the field after a win.
CBS Sports cameras cut to Taylor Swift several times in her luxury booth, including her having a discussion with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
Swift’s previous appearances at Kelce’s games have served as fashion inspiration for her countless fans. She’s been known to wear a wide range of Chiefs-themed gear, from classic crewnecks to windbreakers to a custom-made Kelce jacket made by Kristin Juszcyzk, who is married to 49ers player Kyle Juszcyzk. Swift has also worn a classic red lip in coordination with her outfits, and the Super Bowl was no exception.
Her appearance at the big game comes on the heels of her fourth Eras Tour show in Tokyo on Feb. 10, which took place just one day before the Super Bowl. She had very little time to waste in between her concert and her private flight back to the U.S. Following the NFL game, Swift will take the Eras Tour to Australia for several shows beginning Feb. 16, before traveling to Singapore and finally Europe.
This year’s Super Bowl takes place less than two weeks after the 2024 Grammys, when Swift made history by becoming the first artist to win four awards for album of the year. Her 2021 album “Midnights” secured her that title, and Swift used her moment in the spotlight to announce her brand new album “The Tortured Poets Department,” set for release April 19.
