Is Taylor Swift at the Chiefs game tonight? Latest updates for Week 1

Travis Kelce is set to play his first game as a married man when the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Denver Broncos in a Week 1 “Monday Night Football” matchup.

The question on everyone’s mind will be about whether his wife, pop star Taylor Swift, will be in attendance for the game.

Kelce and Swift were married during the NFL offseason. Their wedding was one of the events of the summer, with numerous sports figures and celebrities being in attendance for the event held July 3 at Madison Square Garden.

While the wedding soaked up much of the attention surrounding the couple over the summer, Kelce’s focus will now shift toward trying to win a fourth – and perhaps final – Super Bowl with the Chiefs.

Will Swift be in attendance for her husband’s game against the Broncos? Here’s what to know as the Chiefs play their home opener at Arrowhead Stadium on Monday, Sept. 14.

Kelce has usually performed better when Swift watches him play in person. Here’s a look at the star tight end’s splits when she is and isn’t confirmed to be in attendance.
