Since fans have been so accustomed to cameras panning to Taylor Swift cheering Travis Kelce on every time she attends a Kansas City Chiefs game, many assumed she wasn’t at the team’s home opener against the Philadelphia Eagles when she wasn’t shown on TV.

The Chiefs and Birds faced off in a Super Bowl rematch on Sept. 14 at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. And during the game, there weren’t any shots of Swift in a suite alongside Kelce’s parents, her famous friends, or other NFL WAGS. But while there were no camera shots of Swift, a video circulated on social media of someone who didn’t want to be recognized making an unusual entrance.

Here’s more on that and a photo of the pop star that confirms one thing.

Photo proves Swift was in Kansas City that day

While there were no actual sightings of Swift at the game, a video has gone viral of someone being ushered to their suite behind a movable wall. Fans nearby can be heard calling “Taylor” as one person asks, “Is that her?” and another replies, “I think it was.”

Adding more fuel to the theory that it was Swift arriving is a photo Patrick Mahomes‘ wife, Brittany, and country singer Kane Brown shared later that evening.

The photo shows Kane and Katelyn Brown, Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, as well as Kelce and Swift celebrating an early birthday get-together for Patrick.

Kane captioned his post: “Happy birthday Pat & congrats TT. Thanks for hosting us Britt.”

The pic was taken at 1587 Prime, which is the quarterback and tight end’s new steakhouse in Kansas City.

The snap was taken on Sunday evening after the game concluded, proving that Swift was definitely in town that day, so she could have very well been at the stadium earlier.

The one question Swifties are asking

The “Fortnight” singer’s fans want to know when Swift will be at one of Kelce’s games. Many were hoping she would be on hand when the Chiefs took on the Los Angeles Chargers in São Paulo, Brazil. When it was confirmed that she did not attend that game, Swifties thought it was given that she would be shown at the Chiefs’ home opener.

Now, however, fans are going to have to wait longer to see Swift in the VIP suites supporting her man. And that gameday appearance will be her first since the two announced their engagement on Aug. 26 with a carousel of photos, captioning them: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”

As for the Chiefs, the team lost to the Eagles 20-17, giving KC an 0-2 start. That start is the worst of Patrick Mahomes’ career. But maybe the Chiefs can turn things around if the camera operators figure out that showing Swift might be good luck and make sure they find her and get shots of her at every game she does attend.
