Taylor Swift made waves by attending the Kansas City Chiefs game instead of joining Vice President Kamala Harris’s rally in Pennsylvania.
Fans noticed the pop icon at Arrowhead Stadium on Monday night, where she cheered on her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, in a match against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
A Surprising Choice
Swift’s absence from Harris’s rally raised eyebrows, given her ties to the Philadelphia area and previous political support for Harris. Many had exp
ected Swift to join fellow celebrities like Lady Gaga, Usher, and Beyoncé, who have actively campaigned for Harris.
Yet, by wearing a black Chiefs jacket and watching the game live, Swift’s choice seemed to show her current focus on personal life over the campaign trail.
Balancing Football and Politics
Though Swift has endorsed Harris and shared her commitment to voting, her choice to support Kelce instead of attending the rally underscored a different priority.
In September, after a presidential debate between Donald Trump and Harris, Swift shared a strong social media post urging fans to register and vote, calling Harris a “warrior” for important causes.
But on Monday, she chose to cheer on the Chiefs in their quest for an undefeated season, reflecting her dedication to her relationship with Kelce over political events.
Mixed Politics in the Chiefs Kingdom
Swift’s choice has stirred up discussions, especially considering the political mix within the Chiefs community.
Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, created a stir by liking posts that aligned with the GOP’s platform. Additionally, Mahomes’ mother was seen wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat at the game.
