Taylor Swift secretly attended Travis Kelce’s Chiefs games BEFORE romance became public, says coach: ‘She was coming into the stadiums without people really knowing’

A Kansas City Chiefs coach has claimed that Taylor Swift secretly attend some of the team’s games last season before her ongoing romance with Travis Kelce came into the public eye in the fall.

Dave Merritt revealed during a recent episode of ‘The Sports Shop with Reese and K-Mac’ podcast that the songstress began showing her support for the team’s starting tight end before attending her first game in Kansas City in September.

‘When [Taylor] started to come around, it was privately,’ the Chiefs defensive backs coach said. ‘She was coming into the stadiums without people knowing until the camera put a big spotlight on it.’

Merritt, who’s been on the Chiefs since 2019, added that all players were supportive of the couple’s relationship from the get-go, despite that potentially meaning the team gaining more exposure than ever, and welcomed Swift into their inner circle straight away.

”There were so many people that were hating the fact that she was being shown on the TV that, you know what? You’re part of our family because you’re with Travis,’ he said.

‘So, therefore, you’re our little sister… You’re part of our family.’

Swift, who recently landed in Singapore after performing four times in Australia as part of her ‘Eras’ Tour, secretly started dating Kelce last summer, but didn’t show up at a Chiefs game until they faced the Chicago Bears on Sept. 24.

The ‘You Belong with Me’ hitmaker attended a total of 13 Chiefs games last season, including one in New York, and made out with her hunky beau after Kansas City beat the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship game, last month.

They locked lips once more after Kelce earned his third Super Bowl ring on Feb. 11.

Kelce has been supportive of his girlfriend by showing up to her concerts in Sydney, Australia, last week, and in Argentina, last November.
