Taylor Swift made an unexpected appearance at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on a Sunday evening, attending an NFL game to express her backing for tight end Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs, as confirmed by media reports.
Swift was not alone in her celebrity presence; a constellation of other well-known figures, including Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Sophie Turner, Sabrina Carpenter, Shawn Levy, Olivia DeJonge, and others, also graced the event with their presence.
The broadcast of the game commenced by highlighting Swift's attendance, with game commentators warmly acknowledging her fanbase, affectionately known as Swifties.
Carson Daly, the host of 'The Voice,' added to the entertainment by presenting an exclusive segment from the set of the reality competition show. This segment aimed to acquaint Taylor Swift's fans with the game and provide background information on Travis Kelce.
It featured a clever play on Swift's song titles and was accompanied by her hit 'Welcome to New York,' cleverly alluding to the Kansas City Chiefs' encounter with the New York Jets.
The broadcast also made a notable reference to Aaron Rodgers, the New York Jets' injured quarterback, who attended the game for the first time since a season-ending injury during the initial game of the season. Remarkably, Rodgers had joined Taylor Swift on her Eras Tour over the summer, along with his friend Miles Teller.
Throughout both the studio and the field, the commentators repeatedly emphasized the game's star-studded nature, acknowledging the presence of numerous celebrities.
