Taylor Swift and a devastated-looking Travis Kelce were spotted holding hands as they left Arrowhead together on Sunday night, after the pop superstar flew halfway across the country to watch him lose a second straight game.
Swift hot-footed it from New Jersey to Kansas City on Sunday morning in time to watch Kelce’s Chiefs play against the Bills – her sixth game of the season – but it ended in another defeat for the reigning Super Bowl champions.
For Kelce, though, the blow of the loss may be softened slightly by the presence of his superstar girlfriend, as the pair prepare to spend some more time together ahead of Taylor’s 34th birthday on Wednesday.
Shortly after the game had concluded with a 20-17 win for the Buffalo Bills, Kelce and Swift were spotted holding hands as they left the stadium, before jumping in a golf cart to be whisked away to a waiting vehicle.
In a picture of the loved-up pair, Swift can be seen trying to console a disappointed-looking Kelce, who had showered and put on his pre-game fit to head home.
Swift, meanwhile, had ditched her red and black Chiefs jumper and was dressed in an all-black outfit – perhaps matching the mood of her man after a tough day.
In an exclusive DailyMail.com video taken seconds later, Swift can be seen waving to fans as the cart whisked them away, while Kelce remained stony-faced beside her.
The pair will now get to spend some time together before Swift celebrates her birthday on Wednesday, when she will turn 34.
It has been an incredible week for the pop sensation, after she was named TIME Magazine’s Person of the Year, and spoke out about her relationship with Kelce in an accompanying interview.
‘I don’t know how they know what suite I’m in,’ she said of the attention she receives at Chiefs games. ‘There’s a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don’t know where it is, and you have no idea when the-camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once.
‘I’m just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and p****ng off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.’
There will have been plenty of Chiefs-supporting ‘dads, Brads and Chads’ leaving Arrowhead disappointed on Sunday night, after a late offensive offsides call by the referee put a stop to a game-winning play by Kelce.
The superstar tight end was nearly the hero when he produced a moment of magic to help teammate Kadarius Toney score a touchdown, but the play was called back because Toney was inches offside when the ball was snapped.
The decision left quarterback Patrick Mahomes so furious that he threw his helmet to the floor and had to be held back from the referee by his teammates, and although Kelce remained calm on the field he is sure to have also been frustrated by the decision.
