Kansas City Chiefs were in action on the opening day (6th September, Thursday), of the new season of the National Football League (NFL). They defeated the Baltimore Ravens 27-20 and started their Super Bowl title defence on a high. This all means that we will get to see more romance between the tight end Travis Kelce and global superstar Taylor Swift.
Where it all started between Kelce and Swift
It all started back in Week 3 of the 2023 season when Taylor Swift showed up at the Arrowhead Stadium. From that point onwards, their love story grew as Swift departed for her Eras Tour and Kelce attempted to win the second consecutive Super Bowl title for the Kansas City Chiefs.
It was last year's Super Bowl at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, where Kansas City won their second title on the trot and the lovers got to celebrate. It is a good omen for both Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs that whenever Swift is in attendance, both have been quite successful.
