Taylor Swift skipped the Kansas City Chiefs’ season opener in São Paulo, Brazil, where they faced the Los Angeles Chargers on September 4. Many fans expected her to be there supporting her fiancé, Travis Kelce, as he began his 13th NFL season. But according to reports, none of the players’ wives or girlfriends traveled overseas for the game.
Swift’s case drew extra attention due to her global fame. A report from the Daily Mail suggested security was a key concern, but not the only factor. Sources explained that the cost, travel time, and logistics around safety made the trip difficult. The flight from Kansas City to São Paulo takes about 13 hours, and her team would have needed to arrive days in advance to secure everything properly. For just a few hours at the game, the effort and expense didn’t make sense.
Last season, Swift attended 10 games, nine of them at Arrowhead Stadium and one at the Super Bowl in New Orleans. Fans can expect to see her at plenty of games again this season, especially at home. The Chiefs’ next matchup is a Super Bowl rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles on September 14 at Arrowhead Stadium.
