The most widely discussed story of the NFL this season has been the romance between Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce and pop superstar Taylor Swift. From public outings to social media moments, Swift’s support for Kelce has drawn massive attention, especially during Chiefs games. But on Sunday Night Football, as the Chiefs faced the Los Angeles Chargers, attention was briefly shifted away from Kelce, as Swift was nowhere to be found.
It is for the first time this season Swift isn’t sitting in her favourite spot at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. The end of record-breaking concert performances across multiple continents within a two-year timeline came from Vancouver. And the commentary just could not get away talking about Swift without noticing how, indeed, Swift wasn’t around at Arrowhead stadium for the Chiefs’ taking on their AFC West rivals on their side today.
As the game progressed, with just over six minutes left in the second quarter, the camera focused on Kelce and the Chiefs’ offense. This gave broadcasters Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth a chance to acknowledge the fact that Taylor Swift was not in attendance.
As professional as Tirico is, he almost threw in a throwaway line about why Swift was nowhere to be found. “Look at No. 87, Travis Kelce,” he said. “Swifties, as you know, Taylor’s not in the house tonight.” ‘The Eras Tour‘ ends tonight in Vancouver after a couple of years of touring around the world.
This was when Collinsworth, ever ready with a good remark, took a moment to send a special message to the pop icon. “Congratulations to her,” Collinsworth said. “It was incredible. She was amazing.” His praise was a nod to Swift’s successful tour and how much of an impact she made on the music world.
Collinsworth Is A Swiftie Himself
What’s interesting is that Collinsworth’s praise for Taylor Swift isn’t just a passing remark. The veteran NFL broadcaster has previously expressed his appreciation for the talent of Swift. Indeed, he went to one of her “Eras Tour” concerts and didn’t hesitate to rave about her performance. The 2023-2024 “Eras Tour” has been historic, earning more than $1 billion and becoming the highest-grossing tour of all time.
Not only Collinsworth but also millions of fans noticed the talent of Swift. Her ability to connect with the fans, her musical versatility, and the sheer scale of her global tour have made her widely recognized. Her performances in cities across the world became an unforgettable experience for millions of fans as she traveled.
Despite her absence from the Chargers game, Collinsworth’s words of praise show just how much Taylor Swift has achieved—both in music and beyond. Her influence continues to extend into the sports world, with her partnership with Kelce being one of the year’s biggest talking points.
