Fans Erupt After Taylor Swift Arrives at Arrowhead Stadium
Of course with the Chiefs in action so was All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce. And although Kelce is one of the stars on the team, many fans anxiously awaited to see if his girlfriend, pop star Taylor Swift would be in attendance for their matchup against the Texans.
Swift was in attendance to see her beau Kelce and the Chiefs kick off their quest for a three-peat on Saturday. And as usual, fans weighed in with plenty of reactions on social media.
"God send me a sign it's all not rigged, somehow let Texans prevail," one fan said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"Please Houston end this for all NFL fans," another user added.
"Win secured on to the 8 pm game," another fan said.

Taylor Swift Encouraging Chiefs' Kelce to Keep Playing
The pressure is already on for the back-to-back defending Super Bowl champions, as the quest is on for them to be the first NFL team to ever win three consecutive championships.
All dynasties must eventually come to an end, and that could be the Chiefs' fate whether they win another Super Bowl or not. A win would make Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce four-time Super Bowl champions.
With Kelce being a potential four-time champ, it would almost certainly solidify his status as the GOAT tight end and perhaps signal toward the end of his career especially because his brother Jason retired last season. However, the Chiefs star says his pop star girlfriend, Taylor Swift, is adamant about his staying on the field after this season.
"She's fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game," Kelce said.
"She loves coming to Arrowhead and coming to the games and cheering for me so I got all the support in the world to keep chasing these dreams."
