The biggest star of the Kansas City Chiefs dynasty probably won’t be at Bank of America Stadium this afternoon.
Sunday will see the 3-7 Carolina Panthers host the 9-1 defending Super Bowl champions—who, of course, bring quite a bit of extra attention wherever they go. And for some folks, it’s not the best quarterback on the planet, the most successful head coach in the game nor the highly-decorated pass catcher who are the main attractions of the show . . . it’s actually the highly-decorated pass catcher’s girlfriend.
Taylor Swift—the pop music icon, 14-time Grammy Award-winner and significant other of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce—doesn’t appear to be headed for Charlotte here in Week 12.
Here’s a bit of bad news for the Carolina-based Swifties, courtesy of The Charlotte Ledger . . .
Online airplane trackers show that Taylor Swift’s jet left Toronto last night (where she had a concert), stopped off in Kansas City for 25 minutes, then flew to Nashville (where she lives). The Panthers play the Kansas City Chiefs in Charlotte today at 1pm. pic.twitter.com/5qaa2cA0m5

Although the Panthers seemingly won’t be getting the full Chiefs experience, Taylor’s absence could be good news for the home team. Kansas City is 13-3 when Swift attends their games.
In any event, there’s going to be one heck of a blank space in that stadium today, isn’t there?
