The 2025 NFL season is fast approaching, and fans of both football and pop culture are once again eagerly scanning the Kansas City Chiefs schedule. Why? Because ever since pop megastar Taylor Swift and Chiefs All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce made their relationship public in 2023, her presence in the stands has become one of the league’s most buzzed-about storylines.
Swift’s appearances at NFL games are more than just celebrity sightings—they’re a cultural phenomenon. Whether she’s spotted in a luxury suite with Travis’s mom Donna Kelce, cheering from the sidelines in red and gold, or lighting up social media during game days, Taylor Swift has become an unexpected but powerful symbol of NFL crossover appeal.
As we head into the 2025 NFL season, one of the most asked questions among Chiefs Kingdom and Swifties alike is: Which games will Taylor Swift attend this year?
While there’s no official confirmation of her schedule, we can make educated predictions based on her past attendance patterns, Travis Kelce’s home/away matchups, her own tour dates (if any), and major NFL event timelines.
A Quick Recap: Swift’s NFL Impact So Far
Since stepping into the NFL limelight, Taylor Swift’s presence has coincided with the Chiefs’ remarkable success. In the 2023 and 2024 seasons, Kansas City posted a staggering 19–3 record in games Swift attended. That’s an 86.3% win rate—an uncanny statistic that prompted some fans to jokingly label her as the team’s lucky charm.
Beyond the scoreboard, the Swift-Kelce relationship has sent NFL viewership soaring, especially among young women. Games she attended in 2023 saw massive spikes in television ratings, Chiefs merchandise (especially Kelce jerseys) flew off the shelves, and the league gained a whole new fan demographic.
With all that in mind, let’s dive into the 2025 Kansas City Chiefs schedule and figure out which matchups are the most likely for Taylor Swift to attend.

High-Probability Games for Taylor Swift Attendance
1. September 14 – vs. Philadelphia Eagles (Home Game)
This is a must-watch game for several reasons. First, it’s a rematch of Super Bowl LVII. Second, Taylor Swift grew up in Pennsylvania and has publicly acknowledged her family’s ties to the Eagles. In 2023, she jokingly said she was “raised an Eagles fan” but now roots for the Chiefs, thanks to Kelce. The storyline writes itself.
Likelihood: 9/10
2. September 21 – @ New York Giants (Sunday Night Football)
Swift owns an apartment in New York and has deep roots in the city. Combine that with this being a primetime game on a Sunday, and it’s very plausible she’ll make an appearance at MetLife Stadium. It’s an away game, but it’s practically in her backyard.
Likelihood: 8.5/10
3. September 28 – vs. Baltimore Ravens (Home Game)
This is a potential AFC Championship preview. A game loaded with star power like Lamar Jackson vs. Patrick Mahomes is likely to attract celebrities, and Swift could easily show up at Arrowhead for this massive contest.
Likelihood: 8/10
4. October 12 – vs. Detroit Lions (Home Game)
A Sunday night matchup at Arrowhead against one of the NFC’s top teams? This one seems like a great opportunity for Swift to be in attendance, especially if it doesn’t conflict with any tour dates.
Likelihood: 7.5/10
5. October 19 – vs. Las Vegas Raiders (Home Game)
Chiefs-Raiders games are fierce divisional battles, and with it being a home game on a Sunday afternoon, this is an easy option for Swift to support her man.
Likelihood: 7/10
6. November 23 – vs. Indianapolis Colts (Home Game)
By late November, the playoff picture starts to take shape. If Swift has downtime, she might be spotted at Arrowhead cheering on the Chiefs in a late-season tune-up before the final playoff push.
Likelihood: 6.5/10
7. December 7 – vs. Houston Texans (Sunday Night Football)
Primetime. December. Playoff implications. All signs point to a Taylor Swift sighting—especially as this game will draw a huge TV audience.
Likelihood: 8/10
8. December 25 – vs. Denver Broncos (Christmas Day)
This one is tricky. Swift previously attended a Chiefs game on Christmas in 2023, and it was a massive holiday event. If she’s not with family or performing, there’s a strong chance she makes another holiday appearance. Travis playing on Christmas means she could be there to support him in what’s becoming a tradition.
Likelihood: 8.5/10
Lower Probability but Still Possible
@ Buffalo Bills (Nov 2)
A high-profile AFC showdown, but November in Buffalo is often cold and snowy. Swift may skip this one unless it has major playoff seeding implications.
Likelihood: 5/10
@ Dallas Cowboys (Thanksgiving – Nov 27)
Dallas is one of the biggest NFL markets, and Thanksgiving games are always marquee. Still, she may opt to spend the holiday with family unless her schedule permits.
Likelihood: 6/10
@ Tennessee Titans (Dec 21)
Late December road game. Nashville is a city close to Swift’s heart and where her music career took off, so this one has nostalgic appeal.
Likelihood: 6.5/10
Unlikely Appearances
Preseason games and early season away games like @ Chargers or @ Jaguars are unlikely destinations for Swift, particularly since they lack national spotlight appeal or emotional significance. Historically, she hasn’t attended preseason games or lower-profile early matchups.
Taylor Swift’s Tour and Personal Schedule
One major variable that influences Swift’s availability is her tour schedule. In 2023 and 2024, Swift was often seen flying in between Eras Tour stops to support Kelce.
At this point, her 2025 schedule has not been officially published. If she takes a break from touring or wraps up major commitments before fall, it could open the door to more game-day appearances. On the other hand, if another international leg of her tour launches in autumn or winter, it may drastically reduce the number of games she can attend.
Still, her history of flying cross-continent to attend even one half of a game (yes, she’s done that!) shows her dedication. Don’t count her out, even on tight weeks.
The Swift Effect: A Cultural Phenomenon
It’s not hyperbole to say that Taylor Swift helped the NFL reach a wider audience. When she began appearing at games, the league saw:
- A 400% spike in Travis Kelce jersey sales
- Up to 53% increase in female viewership during broadcasts featuring her
- Enhanced NFL social media engagement
- Massive media coverage from entertainment and sports outlets alike
The NFL even leaned into her popularity—frequently showcasing her during broadcasts, referencing her songs in promo packages, and embracing the Swiftie takeover.
Final Prediction: Top 5 Most Likely Games for Swift in 2025
- Sep 14 – vs. Eagles (Home, emotional and symbolic game)
- Sep 21 – @ Giants (New York game in primetime)
- Dec 25 – vs. Broncos (Holiday tradition)
- Sep 28 – vs. Ravens (High-stakes AFC clash)
- Dec 7 – vs. Texans (Sunday Night Football)
Taylor Swift’s NFL fandom has become an exhilarating subplot of the Kansas City Chiefs’ recent dynastic run. Her presence at games brings more than just glamour—it brings attention, passion, and a shared crossover audience of football fans and music lovers.
While we can’t predict her attendance with complete certainty, it’s clear that several games on the 2025 Kansas City Chiefs schedule are tailor-made (no pun intended) for her to show up and support Travis Kelce.
So whether you’re a die-hard Chiefs fan, a devoted Swiftie, or just someone enjoying the unlikely fusion of sports and pop culture—keep your eyes on Arrowhead this season. Because when Taylor Swift shows up, the whole world watches.
