After the game, sports anchor Jarrett Payton shot a video of the singer and the football player backstage at Arrowhead Stadium.
In the video, Travis wears a white shirt and matching pants with a splash of light blue, while Taylor wears a white tank-top and shorts with a Chiefs jacket wrapped around her waist.
Kelce says, “How you doing?” as he walks by, and Swift adds, “Hey, how is it going?”
Payton wrote in the caption, “Talk about being at the right place at the right time! Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce leaving Arrowhead together after the game.”

The headlines didn’t stop there. Afterward, TikTok user @1989vinyl claimed Taylor cleared an entire restaurant so they could enjoy dinner together, however she later deleted the post and clarified what actually happened.
The TikToker, named Molly, initially said, “I just got a call from a friend and Taylor is going to a place, and she just paid for everybody at the restaurant so that they would leave.”
She continued, “They were eating and the waitress came up and said, ‘Here’s the deal — everything is paid for but you have to leave, like, right now.’ How freaking insane is this? Oh, and of course she’s with Travis Kelce!’”
The user did not reveal the restaurant, but later commented, “Apparently a bunch of the other players arrived. According to my friend.”
In a second TikTok, she gave an update, explaining, either Taylor or Travis already had a reservation for the entire rooftop of the restaurant, adding that the venue stopped taking reservations after a certain time so they could clear out the establishment.
Molly said that anyone who was still at the restaurant after Taylor and Travis' reservation came up had their meals paid for by Swift.
She said "everyone I've spoken to said it was so freakin' cool, I would think the same thing."
It also turns out Travis warned Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes that Taylor was coming to the games, but Mahomes didn’t know if he was being serious.
During a post-game press conference, Mahomes revealed, “He told me at, like, the last minute. There are some things with Trav where he, kind of, just says it and you don’t know if it’s true or not. Friday, he was just like, ‘Ah, yeah, I think she’s coming to the game … this weekend’ and moved about his business. … That’s just Travis.”

In a separate interview with Fox Sports’ Erin Andrews, Mahomes joked that he felt added “pressure” with Swift at the stadium, and he knew he needed to get Travis the ball. Kelce ended up scoring a touchdown in the third quarter.
“I knew I had to get it to Trav,” he said. “He does his own thing and just makes up a route and I throw it to him. I think he wanted to get in the end zone as much as all the Swifties wanted him to.”
Travis hasn’t been shy about wanting to meet Taylor, even confessing on the Kelce brothers’ podcast “New Heights” that he wanted to give her his number when he attended her Eras tour in Kansas City in July.
He told his brother Jason Kelce on the podcast, “Well, I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings. So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”
He recalled, “I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it.”

Travis went on to tell “The Pat McAfee Show” last week he isn’t bothered by the rumors, saying, “No, it’s life, baby. I threw it out there, I threw the ball in her court."
He then dropped this hint: "I told her, ‘I’ve seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead [Stadium], you might have to see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one is a little more lit.”
