Welcome back to “Will Taylor Swift Be at the Chiefs Game?” season!
While pumpkin spice menu options are the harbinger of fall and Labor Day officially marks its beginning, the start of football season is the true nail in the coffin for summer. While this is cause for celebration amongst fashion and Halloween girlies alike, it can be a somber times for all the real-life Belly Conklins out there. Luckily, there’s one thing we can all celebrate: more Taylor Swift.
During her summer hiatus, Swift popped up to tease two major projects that will keep Swifties occupied for the foreseeable future: her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, and her upcoming wedding to NFL superstar Travis Kelce.
While TLOAS drops on October 3, wedding planning will probably have to wait until the end of football season and whatever promo Swift has planned for her latest album. A source recently told People that the couple “just want to enjoy being engaged” and are “not in the wedding planning phase yet.”
As of this very moment, Kelce is preparing for his first Kansas City Chiefs game of the season, with the team set to take on the Los Angeles Chargers in São Paulo on September 5. Given that Swift is not attending this year’s MTV Video Music Awards on September 7, many fans suspect she may have joined her fiancé in Brazil instead.
While her absence from the VMAs could be due to a football-related travel schedule, it’s worth noting that Swift skipped all of last year’s away games, aside from the 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans. However, she could be tempted to break that pattern in order to celebrate her WAG promotion from girlfriend to fiancée. Only time will tell, so you’ll have to stream the game live on YouTube at 8 p.m. ET to find out.
As Swift said during her surprise appearance on Kelce’s New Heights podcast: “If there’s one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens, it’s more of me.” She was being sarcastic but I’m not.
