Taylor Swift is officially part of Chiefs Kingdom, having attended multiple games last season.
The singer, who has been in a relationship with Travis Kelce for several months, is believed to have attended her first game on September 24. The Chiefs beat the Bears 41-10 that night, but folks were more concerned with the celebrity appearance than the result.
A defensive backs coach on the team is claiming that Taylor would secretly attend games and was coming around even before that Bears game.
Coach Dave Merritt was a guest on ‘The Sports Show with Reese and K-Mac’ last week and revealed that the pop star used to attend games privately until the networks caught on.
“When [Taylor] started to come around, it was privately,’ he said (H/T the New York Post). “She was coming into the stadiums without people knowing until the camera put a big spotlight on it.”

It’s possible that Swift was there for the opener against the Lions as the win over Chicago was only the Chiefs’ third game of the season.
Merritt claims she “was coming into the stadiums,” which suggests she attended more than one game before that game everyone believed was her first.
Swift has also revealed that she was with Kelce way before most people knew.
“We actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other,” she told TIME in an interview back in December. “By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple.”
Well, there’s no hiding it now.
