This weekend, Sunday Night Football heads to Arrowhead Stadium, where the Kansas City Chiefs will play host to the visiting Detroit Lions. Against a red-hot team like the NFC North-leading Lions, there are all kinds of football-related reasons why that makes for a compelling matchup. But if you’re a Taylor Swift fan, the real question is… will she be at the game?
Though she’s reportedly shown up to a couple of NFL games this season to support Chiefs TE Travis Kelce — her famous fiancée — if she has, Swift has been doing it on the down low. Her dialed-back attendance in 2025 has naturally left Swifties in suspense over when she might make a more public splash, as she did last season, while decked out in the Chiefs’ gold & red.

Is Taylor Swift at the Detroit vs. Kansas City Sunday Night Football game?
Yes! Cameras spotted Swift and some friends in a box late in the first quarter, watching Kelce play against the Lions.
Spotting the world’s biggest pop star behind the glass high above GEHA Field at Arrowhead — often alongside a rotating gaggle of celebrity friends — almost rated as high on the spectacle-meter last season as scoring tickets to The Eras Tour. Counting the Chiefs’ run through the playoffs toward Super Bowl LIX, Swift showed up at no fewer than 10 Kansas City games during the 2024 NFL season — an attendance pace that she so far hasn’t endeavored to match in 2025, as the current NFL season enters its sixth week.
Kelce and Swift shared news of their August 26 engagement only days before the Chiefs officially kicked off their 2025 schedule in a Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Chargers on September 5. Since then, her reported appearances at Chiefs games haven’t been splashed across the enormous video board at Arrowhead Stadium or covered live during NFL broadcasts.

So — did anyone know if Swift would make waves as the Chiefs host the Lions on Sunday Night Football this weekend? Until Sunday night, the answer was… well, nobody was really certain. But even the least superstitious Kansas City fan is likely ready to embrace the running joke that a Swift sighting might double as a Chiefs good luck charm. So far in 2025, the Chiefs haven’t quite looked like their typical winning selves, sitting near the bottom of their AFC West division after losing three of their first five games (including their most recent game — at home, no less — against the Jacksonville Jaguars).
How to Watch Detroit Lions vs. Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football
Can QB Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs finally hit their stride against a fierce Detroit defense (not to mention one of the NFL’s most potent and balanced offenses)? Will Kelce get his pregame headphone hype going with a track or two from The Life of a Showgirl, Swift’s brand-new album?
