Taylor Swift was ready for it as she cheered on husband Travis Kelce at Monday Night Football on September 14, when he took the field for the first time as a married man.
The pop superstar, 36, was spotted sitting alongside Tom Cruise in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium on Monday evening as Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs faced off against the Denver Broncos.
Swift was spotted on ESPN's broadcast cameras chatting with the Top Gun actor during the NFL game's first quarter, with the unlikely duo shocking fans from the stands after mixed reports made it unclear whether the "Love Story" singer would be in attendance.
Taylor Swift cheered on Travis Kelce during his season opener.
Kelce’s first regular-season game marked his first professional football matchup since he and Swift tied the knot on Friday, July 3, at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
The star-studded ceremony was officiated by Adam Sandler and attended by Cruise, 64, as well as several of Kelce’s Chiefs teammates and roughy 1,000 other guests.
While Swift and Kelce have kept details of their wedding largely under wraps, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes offered a glimpse into the celebration during Monday night’s episode of ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown.
"My perspective, it was a lot of fun. I did a little dancing, and I didn’t know if I was gonna be able to dance," Mahomes spilled, referencing his recent injury.

Travis Kelce Calls Taylor Swift Wedding 'Best Night of My Life'
Kelce also reflected on the big day, telling ESPN’s Chris Berman that it was “the best night of my life.”
“Marrying Taylor, it was more than I could have ever dreamed it to be because of all the people that showed up and the amount of love that was in the air,” he said.
Now, Kelce is back on the football field — though the 36-year-old tight end could be entering the final season of his NFL career.
Travis Kelce Weighed NFL Retirement After 2025 Season
Kelce, a future Hall of Famer, has considered retirement during each of the last two offseasons. His decision to return for the 2026 season came after a disappointing 2025 run for the Chiefs, which included Mahomes suffering an ACL injury as Kansas City’s season began to unravel.
“The way this ended with a sour taste in my mouth, I feel I need to make the right decision for me,” Kelce told Tony Gonzalez ahead of the Chiefs’ final game last season.
"I feel like I have a lot of love for this game. If I came back it’d just be to answer that flame that I still love this thing," he continued. "If it was just Sundays, I could play till I was 50."
