Taylor Swift is secret lucky charm for Kansas City Chiefs?
Taylor Swift had just wrapped the American leg of her highly successful Eras Tour the previous evening in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the Colts.
She reportedly traveled from there to Missouri, where Kansas City currently holds an undefeated 3-0 record whenever she’s in the stands.
Overall, the team is 13-3, with some fans reportedly beginning to believe she’s a bit of a lucky charm.
The Kansas City Chiefs remained undefeated with a 30-24 win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night.
Jason Kelce, who was in Kansas City for his second analyst appearance on ESPN before a Chiefs game, entered the stadium in a sleek grey suit paired with a red tie.
This appearance coincides with an unusual turn of events for the Philadelphia Eagles legend.

"In a heated moment, I decided to greet hate with hate. ... I fell short this week" pic.twitter.com/884LtqvFzX
"I think everybody has seen on social media what happened this week," he began. "Listen, I'm not happy with anything that took place. I'm not proud of it. In a heated moment, I chose to greet hate with hate, and I just don't think that's a productive thing."
Reflecting on his actions, he admitted, "I fell down to a level that I shouldn't have." Despite the recent scrutiny, Jason has remained a steadfast supporter of his brother’s relationship with Swift.
Over the summer, he even attended one of her concerts at London’s Wembley Stadium, showing family support across the pond.
