Fans speculate Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are married after noticing detail in Arrowhead Stadium suite
A new photo of Taylor Swift in Travis Kelce's suite at Arrowhead Stadium has gone viral, igniting rumors of a secret marriage.
A Chiefs fan shared images from a stadium tour on TikTok, including one of Kelce's suite featuring a poster of Swift's Eras Tour. This caused a frenzy among fans.
The fan captioned, "This is where Taylor gets to sit!!! Also the fact there is an Eras tour poster in this is so funny to me." Swift's followers zoomed in on the image, speculating about its significance.
One fan on X declared, "I’m sorry but these two are married. They’ll never announce it and they totally don’t have to. She’ll tell us in TS12 probably but this is some married people s***."
Another commented, "This is sooo END GAME," while a different fan simply wrote, "King and Queen."
Swift and Kelce publicly revealed their relationship in 2023 when she sat in Kelce's suite with his mom Donna last September, cheering him on against the Chicago Bears.
Swift attended 13 games during the NFL season and even rushed back from Tokyo after her Eras tour dates to support Kelce in their Super Bowl victory in Las Vegas, their second consecutive win.
Taylor Swift reflects on hilltop crowd of 50,000 at Munich Eras Tour show
Thousands of Swifties took over the entire hill in Munich, Germany, to enjoy Swift's Eras Tour, and for free.
After two performances in Munich, the 34-year-old pop star shared her excitement on Instagram about the massive crowds.
Besides the 74,000 fans each night at Olympiastadion, about 50,000 additional fans gathered in a nearby park to catch the show.
Swift posted, "What a magical experience it was playing in Munich," along with photos of her performances and the park filled with fans.
She appreciated the passionate and generous crowds and was surprised by the unexpected turnout in the park behind the stadium.
Fans online are also celebrating the approach of 'August', a reference to her song from 'Folklore', which tends to see a rise in streams during the month.
Swift’s European Eras dates are nearly complete, with just three stops left in Warsaw, Vienna, and London. In October, she’ll return to North America for the final legs of her tour, concluding in December.
Tragically, her Munich shows were followed by a deadly stabbing at a Swift-themed dance class in Southport, England, where three children died, and ten others were injured. Merseyside police have taken a 17-year-old boy into custody.

Bill Maher criticizes Taylor Swift as ‘tacky', predicts breakup with Travis Kelce
Bill Maher criticized Taylor Swift on his 'Club Random' podcast, targeting her Eras Tour and relationship with Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce.
Speaking with viral sensation Haliey Welch on his July 28 episode, Maher, 68, expressed nostalgia for Swift's country era, praising 'Sparks Fly' but quickly pivoted to criticism.
He found Swift's public displays of affection for Kelce, including wearing his jersey, unbecoming for her age.
Maher predicted Kelce would eventually break up with Swift, likening it to an inevitable event like the Gatorade dump at the Super Bowl.
Welch added that if the couple broke up, Swift’s next album would take aim at Kelce.
Maher questioned if Swift still sang about John Mayer, to which Welch noted her Eras Tour included songs about past relationships. Maher found it "tacky" that Swift's songs frequently revisited old flames but acknowledged her talent, stating, "You can’t control what the muse dictates to you."
Ending with a jab, Maher suggested Swift should consider a song titled 'Maybe It’s Me'.
Despite his critiques, Swift's Eras Tour, which grossed around $900 million in ticket sales in 2023 alone, remains immensely popular, indicating fans strongly disagree with Maher's sentiments.
Billboard had reached out to Swift’s representative for a response.
