The Taylor Swift era in the NFL will continue Thursday night when the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Baltimore Ravens to open the 2024 season.
Swift will be there to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and the rest of the team as they begin their quest for a third consecutive championship, The Athletic reported, citing a source briefed on security arrangements at the stadium.

Videos from several Kansas City stations showed Swift's plane arriving at an airport, and videos on social media appeared to show her at Arrowhead Stadium waving to eager fans.
When news broke that Swift and Kelce were dating, she appeared at Arrowhead Stadium to support the Chiefs against the Chicago Bears. Since then, she has been entrenched in the organization and the NFL. Swift was at several games throughout the season and performed at their victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII.
Days before the game, rumors circulated that Swift and Kelce had split in late September after a document surfaced online. Kelce's representatives denied there was a plan and that lawyers would be involved.
The pop star's appearance at the game would certainly help put the rumours to rest.
TAYLOR SWIFT'S FRIEND TRAVIS KELCE DOESN'T MIND BEING CALLED 'THE HUG BUDDY': 'IT COMES WITH THE TERRITORY'

“She was very open to learning the game,” Kelce said on “The Rich Eisen Show.” “I think what makes her so good at her craft is that she's very detailed in every aspect of it, from the lyrics to her music and even the releases and the music videos and everything.
“He's so detailed and on point that I think he was just curious about the profession.”
Swift is on the road this season, so it appears he won't be around for every game, but his stamp of approval may be on some plays in the playbook. Kelce and Patrick Mahomes have suggested he came up with some plays.
“She's a little biased and just makes plays for me. So we'll see if they can get into Coach (Andy) Reid's office,” Kelce said.
