She made\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/4895106\/2023\/09\/24\/taylor-swift-travis-kelce-chiefs\/\">her first gameday appearance<\/a>\u00a0when the Chiefs hosted the Chicago Bears in Week 3 and became a regular staple at games while on a break from her Eras Tour last fall. Swift attended the Chiefs\u2019 win over the Ravens in the AFC Championship Game and then made the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/5234027\/2024\/02\/10\/taylor-swift-eras-tour-super-bowl-travel\/\">long-distance trip<\/a>\u00a0from her show in Tokyo\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/5268005\/2024\/02\/11\/super-bowl-taylor-swift-arrives-vegas-chiefs\/\">to see the Chiefs win the Super Bowl<\/a>\u00a0in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<p>The 14-time Grammy winner is in the midst of a two-month tour break after her European leg ended in August, meaning she could conceivably attend many of Kelce\u2019s early-season games \u2014 including the first five weeks of the season. The tour restarts in October in North America, continuing until her final show in Vancouver on Dec. 8.<\/p>\n<p>There are three shows \u2014 Oct. 20, Oct. 27 and Dec. 8 \u2014 that fall on the same dates as Chiefs regular-season games, although there are four other games in Weeks 9-12 that may be difficult for Swift to attend due to her tour dates.<\/p>\n<p>During a busy offseason for Kelce, he attended several Eras Tour shows around the globe, including a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/5706723\/2024\/08\/20\/travis-kelce-taylor-swift-chiefs-summer\/\">surprise on-stage appearance<\/a>\u00a0in June for Swift\u2019s show at London\u2019s Wembley Stadium. Kelce brought a small team of trainers with him to each tour stop to keep up his offseason training.<\/p>\n<p>In April, Kelce signed a new two-year contract with the Chiefs, making him the highest-paid tight end for the first time in his 11-year career. The deal, which runs through the 2025 season, is set to pay him $17 million fully guaranteed this year.<\/p>\n<p>Kelce, who turns 35 in October, told Chiefs coach Andy Reid and general manager Brett Veach before signing his contract extension that he thinks\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/5747315\/2024\/09\/05\/travis-kelce-chiefs-career\/\">he has at least two more good years<\/a>\u00a0left in his career, according to a team source. That tracks with what Kelce said publicly in June following his extension where he said\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/5556758\/2024\/06\/11\/travis-kelce-retirement-chiefs\/\">he\u2019d play \u201cuntil the wheels fall off.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Kelce and the Chiefs kick off the 2024 regular season against the Ravens at 8:20 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Taylor Swift\u2019s\u00a0Chiefs\u00a0era is continuing.
