When the Chiefs enter MetLife Stadium on Sunday for their prime-time showdown against the Jets, their focus will be on the field — not a certain superstar in the stands.
A source with Kansas City recently told CBS Sports that “the organization wants to keep the focus on football” as the hype surrounding the budding relationship between Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift intensifies.
Swift, who sent the internet into a tizzy last week when she supported Kelce at Arrowhead Stadium, is expected to attend the Chiefs’ Week 4 matchup at The Meadowlands, according to reports.

The two-time Super Bowl champ later dined in New York at Meduza Mediterrania, according to Page Six.
As for Swift, 33, she enjoyed a girls’ night out with pals Blake Lively, Sophie Turner and Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

“I just thought it was awesome that everybody in the suite had nothing but good things to say about her, the friends, and family. She looked amazing, everybody was talking about her in great light, and on top of that the day went perfect for the Chiefs,” Kelce said on Wednesday’s episode.
With the buzz surrounding his personal life growing, Kelce added that he intends to keep certain aspects private moving forward.
Taylor Swift watched the Chiefs-Bears game with Travis Kelce’s mom, Donna Kelce. TNS“She’s not in the media as much as I am doing this show every single week and having fun during the NFL season on other guys’ shows, like the McAfee show and any other show I go on from here on out, like you said on that Thursday night game, I’m enjoying life and I sure as hell enjoyed this weekend,” Kelce said.
“So everything moving forward, I think me talking about sports and saying alright now will have to be kind of where I keep it.”
Although Kelce initially expressed interest in Swift over the summer, the two were first linked romantically in September.
