Taylor Swift breaks Travis Kelce's heart: Why didn't the singer attend the Chiefs-Bills game?

Travis Kelce was left waiting for Taylor Swift. Despite the fact that her busy schedule seemed to leave her enough time to attend the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills, in the end the pop star was missed at the Week 11 NFL match, breaking the hearts of Kelce and thousands of her fans.

Since going public with her romance with Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift has been a regular attendee at Kansas City games. This season, Swift had already attended five games, and her fans were eager to see her again this Sunday when the Chiefs visited the Bills.

The romance between the pop star and the Kansas City tight end has been making headlines since they both went public just over a year ago. In this time, the lovebirds have not stopped supporting each other in their respective commitments, even if they have to fly halfway around the world to do so.

With the NFL starting the second half of its regular season, fans and detractors were anxiously waiting to find out if the singer would be able to attend the match. Some to not miss a single detail of the game and others to choose something else to watch on TV.

?What was Taylor's schedule?

Last week, Taylor was front and center at the Arrowhead Stadium, cheering for the team's narrow 16-14 win over the Denver Broncos. Her presence was made possible by a two-week break from her wildly successful Eras Tour, whose second U.S. leg ended Nov. 3 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The outlook for Sunday's game was more uncertain as Swift kicked off the second international leg of her tour on Thursday, Nov. 14 at Rogers Center in Toronto, Canada, where she had two more shows scheduled for Nov. 15 and 16.

Her next concerts are scheduled for Nov 21 and 22, which opened a window for the songstress to make her way to Highmark Stadium in Buffalo, New York, after her Saturday concert in Toronto. However, Swift apparently had other commitments that prevented her from going to cheer on Kelce and the Chiefs in one of their toughest games of the season.

The Chiefs' amulet

Swift's presence makes a clear difference for the Chiefs. The team won 10 of the 13 games the singer attended in the 2023 season and playoffs. This year, Kansas City is 9-0, having won all five games with its star guest present.

It's not just the team. When Swift is in the crowd, Kelce tends to give masterful performances. In 2023, he averaged 79.9 yards in the games Swift attended, totaling 1,039 yards on 89 receptions, averaging 11.7 yards per catch.

Whether this is due to Swift's presence or the quality of the crew is not what matters to the singer's fans. For them, the only thing that matters is being able to see their idol on the screen, even if it's just for a few seconds.
