Taylor Swift may not have attended Travis Kelce’s outstanding game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day, but she was surely following along with the action.
The Kansas City Chiefs triumphed over the Steelers with a score of 29-10, securing home-field advantage for the upcoming AFC playoffs.
This match also marked a significant milestone as Travis Kelce scored his 77th career touchdown, setting a new record for Tony Gonzalez for the most receiving touchdowns in Chiefs history.

Even though Swift wasn’t present at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, she interacted with Instagram posts from the Kansas City Chiefs, as well as updates from Travis and Jason’s ‘New Heights’ podcast about the game.
This season, Swift has attended fewer games compared to last year due to her Eras Tour. Now that the tour has concluded, it remains uncertain why she chose to miss this particular game.
It’s likely that she watched from home as Kelce celebrated his first touchdown since Week 9, honoring Gonzalez by dunking the football over the goalpost, a signature move from Gonzalez’s playing days.
Chiefs Soaring into the Playoffs
The Chiefs now hold a 15-1 record with one game left in the regular season. With the top seed already secured in the AFC, they have the luxury to rest as other teams compete for playoff spots.
With their game on Christmas Day, the Chiefs have a longer break, not playing again until January 5 against the Denver Broncos.
The timing is perfect for the team as they’re recovering from injuries, highlighted by Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown making his season debut in the game against the Steelers, enhancing a receiving group that has faced challenges throughout the year.
