Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were spotted cuddling at a post-game party to celebrate the Kansas City Chiefs' victory over the New Orleans Saints on Monday, October 7.

In a photo from the party shared by an Instagram user who attended the event that same evening, Swift, 34, and Kelce, 35, were pictured in a classic prom photo pose, with the professional NFL player turning 14 -fach held The Grammy winner in his arms as they both smiled at the camera.

A video shared on TikTok by a fan on match day also shows the couple sharing a sweet moment together in the VIP booth at the stadium just before the party. In the video, Swift can be seen snuggling up to Chief's tight end, wrapping her arms around him and resting her chin on his shoulder.

During Monday night's game, Swift cheered on her boyfriend from the VIP suite at Arrowhead Stadium. It had been over two weeks since she had attended a Chiefs game.

Fans speculated that her absence was an indicator of everything from a rumored breakup to the fact that Kelce had a rough start to this season. Others even went so far as to express their belief that Swift's presence at the games was a positive omen for the team, with one fan on X (formerly known as Twitter) saying: “No Taylor Swift in attendance and the Chiefs are losing their winning streak.” “…hmmm,” while another added: “No Taylor Swift, no party? No Taylor Swift in attendance and the Chiefs lost to the Broncos for the first time in EIGHT years!” A third simply read “The No Taylor Swift Effect.”

The Pennsylvania native flew to Kansas City on Saturday, October 5, shortly after Kelce's 35th birthday party. The NFL athlete appeared unfazed by the Grammy winner's failure to attend the Kelce Car Jam and commented on his girlfriend X's (formerly known as Twitter) absence during an interview captured in a post. In the video, he tells the reporter, “She won't be here right now,” and later adds, “I know she's coming to the game,” although it wasn't clear that Kelce was talking about Swift.
