After Taylor Swift cheered on her man Travis Kelce to a win as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Cincinnati Bengals on Sept. 15, the “Anti-Hero” singer was ready to live it up in honor of quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ 29th birthday celebration.
In photos captured by another Chiefs’ player Chris Jones’ wife Sheawna Weathersby and Mecole Hardman’s fiancé Chariah Gordon, Tay had a blast, posing for photos with her fellow WAGs.
Clad in her oversized Chiefs’ shirtdress and thigh-high black boots, the Grammy winner wowed in her signature bold red lip as she posed on a wall with framed photos of both Travis and her own Eras tour poster.
The trio also posed for some fun photobooth snaps as the photo strips read, “Happy Birthday Patrick, Twenty Nine, Straight Outta ’95.”
Patrick’s wife Brittany Mahomes also shared footage from inside the bash, which included a giant red, black and white balloon display with the numbers 29, lots of throwback photos of the Super Bowl champ as a little kid, and a giant cookie cake.
Earlier in the day, Taylor attended Travis’ game alongside her mom Andrea Swift, who showed her support for the New Heights podcaster by wearing a red shirt with the pin “In my 87 era,” a nod to Travis’ jersey number and the singer’s ongoing Eras tour.
It’s been a big week for Taylor, who made history at the MTV VMAs on Sept. 11, when she broke multiple records after winning seven VMAs and tying with Beyonce for her record of most wins at the annual awards show.
During one of her wins, Tay gave Trav a sweet shoutout onstage while accepting the award for Video of the Year for her “Fortnight” collab with Post Malone. She recalled making the video and consistently hearing, “someone cheering from across the studio where we were shooting it.”
She noted, “That one person was my boyfriend Travis.”
The “Love Story” singer added, “Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic, so I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot.”

July 2023: So, Make the Friendship Bracelets
As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it. However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals.
“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,” Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. “So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.

“I threw it out there, I threw the ball in her court,” he shared on The Pat McAfee Show. “I told her, you know, ‘I’ve seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead, you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit.’ So, we’ll see what happens in the near future.”
As he later noted of the era, “That ‘stache and the 87 jersey was pretty iconic there for a little bit, and I had it when I met Taylor for the first time.”
“It’s been very low-key,” the insider explained, “as he’s been in season.”

Though folklore had it that it was the couple’s first in-person meeting, the “Karma” singer later clarified the two had spent a “significant amount of time” getting to know each other beforehand.
As Taylor noted, “We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”

“I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” she told Time. “The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone.”
