- Taylor Swift wasn’t spotted at the Chiefs’ game against the Falcons in Atlanta.
- She attended Travis Kelce’s home game last week against the Jets, where they were filmed leaving together.
- The singer has a big public appearance coming up on Wednesday.
After last Sunday’s Kansas City Chiefs football game, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce re-created an early relationship moment as they left Arrowhead Stadium, driving off in a vintage car and waving to fans. This week, the Chiefs are playing against the Falcons in Atlanta—but as of 4:08 P.M. ET, Swift hasn’t been spotted in the crowd. This isn’t unusual for the singer, who has been seen only at home games this season. She didn’t attend any away games last year either, with security risks reportedly factoring into the decision.
The singer is also preparing for a big performance on Wednesday, when she’s slated to return to the CMA Awards stage in Nashville for the first time in 13 years. She has one major nomination as well: Single of the Year for her Toy Story 5 song “I Knew It, I Knew You.”
In September, she discussed how multifaceted the song’s lyrics are during an interview on iHeartCountry House Party. “I love that the lyrics of this song are really being delved into by the fans,” she said. “There are several lyrics that have more than one meaning to them. When you get to write a song that is this brilliant, that has many different themes, you only have so long in a song to convey and surmise some of this entire film that people just watched. Sometimes you’re trying to have a double meaning in a line.”
She cited one example: “The first line of the song is ‘I knew you through the daze of the blades of the grass in summer.’ The double meaning of that is…the word daze is spelled ‘d-a-z-e’ in the lyrics, but you could also, if you wanted to, think of it as days, ‘d-a-y-s,’ you could perceive it as that. I thought of it as like a childhood daze of like you look back and you see this sort of blurry, beautiful memory that’s kind of blurry at the edges, and the blades of the grass in summer harkens back to childhood and playing and using your imagination but also there’s the added meaning of—they’re toys—they can only see up to the height of the blades of grass.”
