Taylor Swift has left her mark on Travis Kelce’s heart—and in his player’s box. See the sweet homage to the Grammy winner in Arrowhead stadium.
It looks like Travis Kelce said, “Give me a photograph to hang on my wall, superstar.”
Because in a behind-the-scenes peek into the VIP suite where girlfriend Taylor Swift watched the Sept. 15 Kansas City Chiefs game, there was a sweet nod to the Grammy winner: a framed photo from her Eras Tour poster at Travis Kelce’s NFL Suite Features Sweet Nod to Taylor Swift.
Yep, as seen in photos posted by fellow WAG Chariah Gordon (her fiancée is Chiefs player Mecole Hardman Jr.), there’s a sweet homage to Taylor hung right next to a framed poster of Travis in his uniform at Travis Kelce’s NFL Suite, which features a sweet nod to Taylor Swift at Travis Kelce’s NFL Suite Features Sweet Nod to Taylor Swift.
The nod feels only natural, as the Grammy winner has become a staple at Chiefs games since last fall when the pair first went public with their romance. At least, when her schedule allows for a trip to Arrowhead Stadium.
And the Sept. 15 game against the Bengals was no exception. Arriving in an oversized Chiefs t-shirt and thigh-high boots, Taylor was not alone for this particular game. By her side were mom Andrea Swift, brother Austin Swift and BFFs Danielle Haim and Este Haim at Travis Kelce’s NFL Suite Features Sweet Nod to Taylor Swift.
And even Taylor’s mom got in on the Travis hype, rocking a pin with the words “I’m in my 87 era” on her red shirt, a nod to the tight end’s jersey number.
Plus, to make her attendance even more sweet, Andrea was seen having a sweet moment with Travis’ mom Donna Kelce at Travis Kelce’s NFL Suite Features Sweet Nod to Taylor Swift.
In footage shared to X, Taylor was chatting with Donna in the box when Andrea walked over and gave Donna a hug.
It was an eventful evening for Taylor and company. Not only did the 34-year-old have her friends around her for the game, but she also attended the 29th birthday celebration for quarterback Patrick Mahomes—having grown close with both him and wife Brittany Mahomes—following the game at Travis Kelce’s NFL Suite Features Sweet Nod to Taylor Swift.
As seen in pictures posted by Chariah, Taylor posed in a photobooth with her fellow Chiefs friends, the pictures reading along the bottom, “Happy Birthday Patrick, Twenty Nine.”

July 2023: So, Make the Friendship Bracelets
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s love story began in July 2023, when the singer’s Eras Tour made a stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo at Travis Kelce’s NFL Suite Features Sweet Nod to Taylor Swift.
As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it. However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals at Travis Kelce’s NFL Suite Features Sweet Nod to Taylor Swift.
“I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. “So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”
