Caitlin Clark and Taylor Swift Support Travis Kelce at Chiefs Playoff Game
Caitlin Clark was spotted cheering for the Kansas City Chiefs alongside Taylor Swift.
On Saturday, January 18, Clark, 22, attended the Chiefs’ playoff game against the Houston Texans at Arrowhead Stadium with Swift, 35. A video shared by the NFL’s official TikTok account showcased Swift’s boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, making an impressive tackle against the Texans.
As cheers erupted from the crowd, the camera panned to Swift’s box seats, capturing her celebrating with Clark. Swift was accompanied by her parents, Scott and Andrea, along with her brother, Austin, who were all wearing Chiefs-branded windbreakers, according to social media updates.
This matchup against the Texans marked the Chiefs’ first playoff game of the season. The victorious team will progress to the AFC Conference Championship, facing either the Baltimore Ravens or the Buffalo Bills. The winner of that game will then compete in the Super Bowl in February.
Recently, Clark was a guest on Kelce’s podcast, “New Heights,” which he co-hosts with his brother and former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce. During the January 2 episode, Clark mentioned she attended Swift’s Eras Tour three times.

“I went early on when Taylor first went on tour in Minnesota at U.S. Bank. One of her early concerts and that was a lot of fun,” Clark told the Kelce brothers. “I went with some of my college friends and we had a good time together.”
During the podcast, Clark, who currently plays as a guard for the Indiana Fever in the WNBA, emphasized that her support for the Chiefs runs deep.
“I’m a midwest kid,” she explained. “I had family in Kansas City and grew up in Des Moines, Iowa, which is only three hours from Kansas City, making it the closest NFL team. My dad was a huge Chiefs fan during my upbringing. People assume I’m a bandwagon Chiefs fan, but I was there before! Before Patrick [Mahomes] and Travis. We were ride or die.”
In a December 2024 interview with TIME, Clark revealed that Swift gifted her four bags of Eras Tour merchandise, along with a note saying that watching her was “inspiring from afar.”
During this period, the pop icon invited Clark to join her for a Chiefs game, adding that both she and Travis should attend an Indiana Fever game soon, too.
