taylor swift when not in the stands Travis Kelce She returned to the football field on Sunday, Nov. 16, when the Kansas City Chiefs took on the Denver Broncos, missing out on watching her fiancé make Chiefs history.
The 35-year-old pop superstar chose not to attend the game at Empower Field at Mile High Stadium in Denver — an expected choice since she has yet to attend any of her fiancé’s road games during the 2025-2026 NFL season (so far).
On the other hand, Kelce set the Chiefs’ all-time touchdown record in the game, scoring his 84th career touchdown in the fourth quarter, giving the team a 19-16 lead with just over 8 minutes left in the game. (It was only Kelce’s third career touchdown at Mile High Stadium.)
Kelce tied the record on Monday Night Football against the Washington Commanders, which was previously held by NFL legend Pastor Holmes.
Sunday’s game between the Chiefs and Broncos will be crucial for the 36-year-old Kelce, who comes into the game with his teammates who have a 5-4 season record. The Broncos lead the AFC West with an 8-2 record, while the Chiefs were not in the AFC playoff picture before both teams took the field on Sunday.
Swift last attended a Chiefs game when the team defeated the Washington Commanders at home on Oct. 27. After a disappointing loss to the Buffalo Bills on Nov. 2, the Chiefs enjoyed some much-needed rest during the bye week.
Travis refuses to tell his brother, Jason Kelceabout his farewell week plans on the Nov. 5 episode of his “New Heights” podcast.
“For the next week, at least turn your attention elsewhere,” prompts Jason, 38. “What are you doing? Is there anything fun? [or are] Have you started traveling? What are you doing this week? Tell us about your personal life. “
Despite Jason’s best efforts, Travis didn’t take the bait.
“No, no,” he replied. “Obviously you set a goal at the beginning of the season to win the division, win the division [and] Get home field advantage so everyone has to pass the arrow. It now appears that is not the case. “
Travis stressed that during the week off, he will continue to focus on what the Chiefs can and need to do to be successful when they return to face the Broncos.
“I didn’t think about it [the playoffs yet]” he said, “I wonder how on earth are we going to beat the Denver Broncos? This will be on my mind for the next two weeks. “
Although Travis insisted on focusing on work during his bye week, he still found time to spend a few date nights with Swift in New York City. The couple, who announced their engagement in August, were spotted going to The Polo Bar on November 5 and Zero Bond on November 6.
While Swift and Travis enjoy the occasional public outing together, the two are equally happy to spend time together at home.
“Tyler and Travis are really chill,” a source EXCLUSIVELY revealed US Weekly October. “On a typical night, they would casually have dinner and think about what to play. It’s very family and peaceful.”
While the pair’s New York date night was a paparazzi-worthy event, they were just like everyone else behind closed doors.
“Tyler and Travis are super simple,” the insider reveals. “People expect them to be gorgeous when they visit them, but it’s the complete opposite. Sometimes they’re sweating profusely and eating takeaways. It’s not what you expect.”
As for their upcoming wedding, plans are “in progress,” according to a second source. “They are all [very] Getting involved, Taylor thought it was cute that Travis wanted to help. “
Meanwhile, a first source told us Swift and Travis “don’t want a long-term engagement” because they “really want to start a family in the next year or so.”
