Cheer Captain in the Suite
The musician's appearance is the third most-anticipated moment of the Super Bowl, trailing only behind the Kansas City Chiefs facing the Philadelphia Eagles and Kendrick Lamar's halftime show performance
For the second year in a row, Taylor Swift‘s presence is the third most-anticipated moment of the Super Bowl, trailing only behind the Kansas City Chiefs face-off against the Philadelphia Eagles and Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show performance. The musician has arrived at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans to cheer on Travis Kelce, dressed in a stark white suit jacket and her signature red lip.
Swift’s first appearance on screen was brief but sightings are sure to increase as the game continues — as Swift’s Super Bowl LIX crew includes her mother Andrea, Kylie Kelce, and HAIM sister Este.
Kelce’s brother Jason Kelce teased Swift’s appearance at the game earlier this week. “Yeah, I think everybody’s coming in,” he told People. “I mean, I don’t want to speak for everybody, but I think obviously, our whole family. I believe, obviously Trav and Taylor, and his family and his friends.”
Swift spent last weekend at the Grammy Awards, where she was nominated for 11 awards. Kelce missed the show — he was in New Orleans preparing for the big game — but frequently made a point of supporting the singer from near and far while she was on the road for the Eras tour.
Similarly, Swift has spent more than a few nights cheering Kelce on from suites at his games. She attended the AFC Championship match in Kansas City that solidified the Chiefs’ place in Super Bowl LIX after weeks of popping up at games during the regular season.
“I don’t know how they know what suite I’m in. There’s a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don’t know where it is, and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once,” Swift told Time in 2023. “I’m just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”
Swift and Kelce hard-launched their relationship in September 2023, when the singer attended a Chiefs game weeks after the athlete publicly courted her with friendship bracelets and game invitations.
