We have made it to championship weekend in the NFL.
With Kansas City playing in Baltimore against the Ravens on Sunday with the AFC title on the line, Taylor Swift is expected to be in attendance to support her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The pair started dating over the summer, and the 12-time Grammy winner has gone to 11 Chiefs games since September 24.
While there were quite a few cutaways to the Eras Tour singer in that first game, the number and frequency of her appearances on screen has dropped as the season has progressed, mainly showing her briefly after a big reception by Kelce or moment for the Chiefs.

Former NFL star J.J. Watt made an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Wednesday, discussing the playoffs and more. Naturally, Swift came up as the room discussed her tour resuming and the potential for her to attend the Super Bowl (should the Chiefs make it). After McAfee explains that Swift’s two-night, sold out shows at the Melbourne Cricket Ground will have over 100,000 fans in attendance, Watt had a brilliant response.
“But I don’t know why they’re showing her on TV,” Watt said with obvious sarcasm, calling out the Chads, Brads and dads that have spent the season whining about the infrequent cutaways to the world’s biggest pop star.
Watt, who went to opening night of the Eras Tour back in March of 2023 in Arizona, had absolutely no time for the nonsense of the dissenters on McAfee’s show.
“Is A.Q. one of these tough guys?” Watt asked of The Pat McAfee Show’s A.Q. Shipley before putting on an exaggerated macho voice. “Hey, why are we showing Taylor Swift, I wanna see the football. Oh wait, there’s Jay-Z! Yeah, Jay-Z!”
Although Shipley tried to feebly make his tired “point” known about how it’s just so exhausting to see whole MINUTES of a fan over the course of a three-hour broadcast, Watt was having none of it.
