As the Carolina Panthers gear up for their matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday, many North Carolina fans are curious whether Taylor Swift will make an appearance. The pop sensation has frequently been spotted at NFL games, cheering on her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, becoming a notable figure at these events.
Swift has been a topic of great interest for her dedicated followers, known as “Swifties,” who look forward to seeing her outside her musical performances. However, it appears she is unlikely to attend the game at Bank of America Stadium.
This season, her appearances have primarily been limited to games hosted in Kansas City, with her skipping other major events, including a notable game against Buffalo last weekend.
Why Panthers fans might prefer Swift not attend?
For supporters of the Panthers, there may be a peculiar sense of relief if Swift is not in attendance. Since she started showing up at Chiefs games last season, the team has performed exceptionally well, with a record of 14 wins and 3 losses during her presence.
This impressive run includes an astounding nine straight victories starting from late 2023, suggesting that her presence might be providing a special boost for Kansas City.
Interestingly, her absence during the recent game coincided with the Chiefs’ defeat against Buffalo, raising questions about whether her presence brings more than just moral support.
Currently, the Chiefs are seen as significant favorites, having a 10.5-point lead predicted by DraftKings Sportsbook. Still, Panthers fans might cling to the hope that the Chiefs‘ earlier loss, which occurred without Swift present, could indicate a vulnerability in their team.
As reported by David Newton from ESPN, Swift will not be making her debut appearance at Bank of America Stadium this weekend.
