While Kelce didn't confirm whether Swift will attend the game, the singer has rarely been spotted at his away matchups.
Instead, she's reportedly planning to spend more time in Kansas City during the NFL season's critical weeks.
The 35-year-old athlete acknowledged the physical toll of playing three games in 11 days, joking,
"My body's not as excited about this stretch as my mind is."
However, he sees it as a test of the team's resilience.
"I think it's gonna make it feel that much better if we can get out of this little three-game stretch with three wins,"Kelce added.
"It'll give us more confidence to take on the best teams week to week."
Taylor Swift wants to spend holidays in Kansas City
Kelce and Swift, who began dating last summer, are also looking forward to celebrating Christmas together.
According to sources, the couple is prioritizing quality time amid their busy schedules.
"Christmas will be a special holiday for both of them," a source shared.
"Travis loves to surprise Taylor with unique gifts, and they're both excited to spend the season together."
Though Swift recently wrapped up her record-breaking Eras Tour, she's enjoying a quieter pace of life with Kelce.
The pop star is reportedly spending time in Kansas City to support him as the Chiefs push for another championship season.
With both Thanksgiving and Christmas on the calendar, it seems the NFL star and the music icon are making the most of their holiday moments together.
