KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Pop superstar Taylor Swift returned to Arrowhead Stadium Monday night to watch the Kansas City Chiefs and boyfriend Travis Kelce play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after ending the U.S. leg of their record-breaking season Eras had finished tour.

It was a good evening for both of them.

Swift was able to celebrate Kelce's big night, which included 14 catches for 100 yards in the pouring rain and a win for the Chiefs. They trailed by a touchdown in the fourth quarter, scored twice to take the lead, then went into overtime where they won the coin toss and scored a touchdown gave them a 30-24 win.

Kelce, who fumbled early in the game, had two of his catches on the decisive drive in overtime. His reception total was a career-best in a regular-season game, matching a 14-catch performance in a 2023 playoff win over Jacksonville, while his 16 targets from Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes were one shy of his career high.

“He's great at finding space,” Mahomes said, “and I think having DeAndre (Hopkins) out there takes the pressure off when all the attention isn't on him.” And whenever he gets going Comes, he’s hard to stop.”

Swift finally gets a chance to lay low after playing the last of three shows at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Sunday to wrap up the U.S. leg of her tour. The remainder of their tour heads to Canada with the first of six shows at Toronto's Rogers Center on November 14th and three shows in December at BC Place in Vancouver, British Columbia.
