The Kansas City Chiefs are undefeated in the Taylor Swift era.
On Sunday, Kansas City beat New York at Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., behind an uneven but clutch performance from star quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs victory marked the second game that pop superstar Swift, 33, attended amid her rumored romance with tight end Kelce, also 33.
Kelce had six receptions for 60 yards. But the stars of the offense were Mahomes, who passed for 203 yards and rushed for an additional 51 yards, and Isiah Pacheco, a New Jersey native who rushed for 115 yards and a touchdown in his return to his home state.
Swift was seated with multiple celebrities as she watched the game, cheering for Kelce's team from a suite at the venue. The "Karma" singer was joined by her longtime friends Sophie Turner, Blake Lively, and Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Sabrina Carpenter and Queer Eye star Antoni Porowski as the group cheered from a suite.
