According to Dave Merritt, a coach for the Kansas City Chiefs, Taylor Swift had been quietly supporting Travis Kelce at Chiefs games even before their relationship became public. Merritt revealed on a recent episode of The Sports Shop with Reese and K-Mac that Swift would attend games privately, without drawing attention to herself, until cameras captured her in a suite with Kelce’s mother in September.

Merritt emphasized that Swift’s presence was a positive addition to the Chiefs’ atmosphere and that she was embraced as part of the team’s family due to her relationship with Kelce. He noted that Swift’s influence was felt during the team’s championship run, as Kelce appeared happier and more focused.

Swift’s attendance at Chiefs games became public knowledge when she was spotted with Kelce’s mother during a game in late September. Throughout the season, Swift continued to support the team, culminating in her presence at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, where she celebrated with the team after their victory in overtime.

Overall, Swift’s support for Kelce and the Chiefs was seen as a welcome addition to the team’s success and camaraderie throughout their championship-winning season.
