It seems Taylor Swift isn’t back in Chiefs Kingdom’s starting fan lineup.

The 14-time Grammy winner appeared to miss boyfriend Travis Kelce’s Chiefs game on Sunday against the Chargers at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, one week after skipping Kansas City’s primetime win over the Falcons in Atlanta.

The Chiefs defeated the Chargers, 17-10, and Kelce had his best game of the season with seven catches for 89 yards.

Taylor Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 2 win over the Bengals
on Sept. 15, 2024.

Travis Kelce catches a pass in the first quarter of the Chiefs’ Week 4 matchup against the Chargers.
For Kelce, now in his 12th NFL season, the priority is stacking victories amid the recent chatter surrounding his slow start to the year.

“I’ve had a lot of catches in this league, man, I’m not worried about the catches and the yards, and all of that, I have the most fun when I get the ball thrown my way, I mean, who doesn’t?” the All-Pro tight end said on Wednesday’s episode of the “New Heights” podcast.

“It has everything to do with execution and just making sure we’re doing everything we can to win these football games, that’s always going to be the goal.”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce held hands after the Chiefs’ season-opening win on Sept. 5, 2024.

Travis Kelce has recorded 69 yards through three games this season.
The 34-year-old Kelce has eight receptions for 69 yards and zero touchdowns through three games.

Members of the Chiefs, including head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes, have maintained Kelce hasn’t missed a step.

“I know people are saying that he’s old or that he has distractions, but defenses don’t think that,” Reid told reporters Wednesday, according to A to Z Sports.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce shared an intimate moment at the U.S. Open in September 2024.
“Trav is fine. He just keeps being Trav. He works his tail off. He hasn’t lost a step. He’s not distracted.”

Talking heads have suggested Kelce’s focus is elsewhere, zoning in on his off-field endeavors and jet-sets with Swift, his girlfriend of more than a year.

Kelce wants to be an impactful player for the Chiefs as they pursue a third straight Super Bowl title.

“Moving forward, still trying to make sure I can help the team out in that regard knowing I’ve been that weapon for us in the past,” he said on “New Heights.”

Swift, 34, cheered on Kelce at Arrowhead Stadium the first two weeks of the season, both of which were Chiefs wins.
