Why Taylor Swift Wasn’t Seen at Travis Kelce’s Away Game Against the Buffalo Bills

THE RUNDOWN

• Taylor Swift wasn’t seen at Travis Kelce’s away game against the Buffalo Bills.
• The singer was at Kelce’s last three games, which all took place at the Kansas City Chiefs’ home turf, Arrowhead Stadium.
• In part due to security concerns, Swift typically only attends Kelce’s home games.

After Taylor Swift attended Travis Kelce’s three consecutive home games at Arrowhead Stadium, the singer spent her Sunday out of the spotlight. She wasn’t seen at Highmark Stadium this afternoon, where the Kansas City Chiefs lost 21-28 to the Buffalo Bills. It’s unclear whether Swift watched her partner in private at the Orchard Park, New York sporting event, but she has a history of missing away games, in part due to safety concerns.

Swift was photographed getting dinner in New York City on Thursday, which is a good six hours away from the stadium.

For the past two seasons, Swift has only attended home games. A source explained to Page Six in October 2024 that security is a primary reason: “She’s not going anywhere unless she knows the venue intimately, and it has been thoroughly scouted and secured in advance.”

Even at home games this year, Swift has kept a low profile. She has gone all season without being photographed entering the stadium, and the NFL rarely shows footage of her watching during broadcasts.

A source told Us Weekly earlier this week that The Life of a Showgirl singer decided to fly more under the radar at Kelce’s games this season because the attention on her was “getting too excessive.”

Whether she’s physically in the stadium or not, Kelce is always on her mind whenever he plays. During his last away game, Swift was filming her Tonight Show appearance. She told host Jimmy Fallon that she was thinking of the Chiefs: “It’s game day; my head is very much there.”

The star is skilled at staying out of the public eye when she wants to, which she did most of this week. She wasn’t photographed at any Halloween parties and hasn’t posted on social media.
