The pop giant has been dating Travis Kelce (34), the Chiefs’ tight end, since the summer of 2023. So far, she has watched 15 games, twelve of which the Chiefs have won.

Swift was present at the first two games of the new season (both in Kansas City), but there was no sign of her in Atlanta.

As at every game, several photographers are standing around the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and her fans are searching every corner of the stadium for her. But there are no pictures of her. A local reporter claimed to have heard that she had rented a suite. But there is no confirmation of this.

On the sports side:

The Chiefs struggled with the Falcons defense, but took the lead with two touchdowns from superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes and three field goals.

Mahomes threw an interception against safety Justin Simmons, making it four games in a row when he was up against him. In total, he threw six interceptions – an NFL record.

Swift’s friend Kelce once again remains unimpressed. He catches four out of five balls, gaining 30 yards. This means he has only managed 69 yards this season and has not caught a touchdown.

During the break, head coach Andy Reid told NBC reporter Melissa Stark: “We need to get Travis more involved in the game.” But it just doesn’t work.

The Falcons gamble. They get the ball at the start of the fourth quarter and march down the field. At the goal line and with just under five minutes left to play, they decide twice against a field goal when the score is 17:22. They manage to get a fourth attempt once, but not directly at the goal line.

But the ball comes back quickly. So the Falcons have another chance with 2:26 left on the clock.

But the Chiefs’ bulwark holds. Mahomes, Kelce & Co. are happy about their third win in three games.
