As the Carolina Panthers gear up for an upcoming match against the Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday, fans in North Carolina are curious if Taylor Swift will be part of the audience. The renowned singer has frequently attended games to cheer for her partner, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and has garnered considerable media attention, often overshadowing the athletes on the field.
Swift‘s attendance has become a significant focus for her devoted followers, known as “Swifties,” who are keen to catch a glimpse of her away from her concerts. However, it appears she may not be going to Bank of America Stadium this time.
This season, Swift’s game-time appearances have mostly been limited to home games for the Chiefs, missing big encounters like the recent one against Buffalo.
A Silver Lining for Panthers Fans in Swift’s Possible Absence
Interestingly, Panthers fans might actually feel a bit relieved if Swift does not show up. Since she began attending Chiefs games, the team has had a stellar record of 14 wins and just 3 losses when she’s present.
This includes an impressive nine-game win streak that extends back to last season, leading fans to view her as a sort of lucky mascot for Kansas City.
Notably, the Chiefs’ recent loss to Buffalo occurred when she was not there, suggesting her presence may influence more than just morale.
Currently, the Chiefs are heavily favored to win, holding a 10.5-point lead as indicated by DraftKings Sportsbook. However, Panthers supporters might cling to the notion that this loss signifies a vulnerability in the Chiefs, as it happened during a game without Swift.
Although it seems unlikely that Swift will make an appearance at Bank of America Stadium this weekend, her impact on the game’s narrative is unmistakable.
