The Kansas City Chiefs completely destroyed the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7. In Kansas City’s 31-0 shutout victory, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 26 of 35 passes for 286 yards and three touchdowns.
With such a commanding lead, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid sat Mahomes with eight seconds left in the third quarter and let backup quarterback Gardner Minshew take over. Kansas City rested most of its starters in the fourth quarter, including tight end Travis Kelce.
Kelce caught all three of his targets for 58 yards against Las Vegas. The 35-year-old veteran also had his lucky charm, fiancée Taylor Swift, cheering him on at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, October 19.

It was not immediately clear whether Swift would travel to the Raiders-Chiefs game. After the release of her twelfth studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl”, she went on a non-stop promotional tour.
Swift quietly returned to Arrowhead Stadium to watch the Chiefs defeat the Baltimore Ravens 37-20 in Week 3. While she kept a low profile, managing to avoid the cameras, eagle-eyed fans spotted Swift’s father, Scott Swift, and brother, Austin Swift, in Kelce’s suite.
The pop star also kept a low profile during Kansas City’s home opener against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2.
Taylor Swift wore her signature red lipstick during the Chiefs-Raiders game
Unlike previous weeks, a fan took a photo of Swift watching the Chiefs with her father, Scott Swift, at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday. She wore her signature red lipstick for the match while her huge engagement ring stole the show.
Fans were excited to see the 14-time Grammy winner at the match. A Swiftie posted on X, “oh my god, my mother is back!” Another fan wrote: “I will never stop being fascinated every time I see this ring, my goodness what a beautiful thing.” »
Many fans joked about how Swift and her father seemed to be watching from the sky. A woman asked: “Why does it look like the man in the clouds?” Another person posted: “They look like giant gods in the sky keeping watch.” »
Kelce’s parents, Ed and Donna Kelce, also attended the Week 7 game. As he walked around the stadium, Ed handed out friendship bracelets bearing the names of his son and future daughter-in-law.

During an interview with BBC 2 Radio earlier this month, Swift spoke about her ability to fly under the radar when looking to avoid the spotlight.
When host Scott Mills asked her what her best quality as a spy would be: “I think I could walk in and out of a building without being seen,” she replied. “Just put me in a trash can, roll me up, I don’t care. Honestly, I can fit in there like a purse.”
“Sometimes I just can’t deal with it (the paparazzi and the attention) and in those moments I won’t deal with it. I just dig tunnels under every building I enter, airlifting through the skylight.”
Swift, however, remains Kelce’s biggest fan and loves watching him play. During her appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” last week, the singer revealed that she was too involved in the game to even think about doing the Super Bowl halftime show.

“Here’s the problem,” she said. “We’re always able to tell (Jay-Z) the truth, which is that I’m in love with a guy who plays this sport on this field.
“They’re gladiators without swords. It’s dangerous. All season I’m focused on what this man is doing on the field. Can you imagine if he was out there every week risking his life, doing this very dangerous, very high pressure, high intensity sport, and I’m like, ‘I wonder what my choreography should be.’ I think we should do two verses of “Shake it Off” in “Blank Space” and in “Cruel Summer”. be awesome.’
