Taylor Swift’s Attendance Status for Chiefs-Broncos Christmas Week 17 Game
Taylor Swift’s presence at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 17 game against the Denver Broncos on Christmas remains unconfirmed. Unlike previous seasons, the artist has maintained a low profile throughout the current NFL season, reducing public appearances at Chiefs games.
Swift has been a regular attendee at Chiefs home games in past years but has largely stayed away from road games recently. Her last confirmed attendance at a Chiefs road game was in Week 11 of the previous season, when she watched the Chiefs face the Buffalo Bills.
Impact of Taylor Swift’s Attendance on Travis Kelce’s Performance
Travis Kelce’s performance shows noticeable differences depending on whether Swift is in the crowd. Since the start of 2023, Kelce’s receiving stats often peak during games when Swift is known to be in attendance, demonstrating strong connection and on-field productivity.
For example, in the 2023 season, Kelce put up significant numbers in multiple games with Swift present, including a standout 12-catch, 179-yard, one-touchdown effort against the Chargers. The Chiefs went 10-3 with her attendance that year, including a Super Bowl victory.

Chiefs’ Season Outlook and Swift’s Attendance
The 2025 season has been challenging for the Chiefs, especially after Patrick Mahomes suffered a season-ending ACL tear in mid-December. This injury contributed heavily to the team missing the postseason for the first time in years. Fans were hoping for a festive atmosphere during the Christmas game, often dubbed “Swiftmas” in honor of Swift’s presence.
Kelce’s future playing status remains uncertain, adding speculation that this Christmas game could be one of his last opportunities to perform in front of the Arrowhead Stadium crowd. Consequently, if Swift attends, it might also mark one of her final times watching him play live.
Summary
Taylor Swift’s attendance for the Week 17 Chiefs-Broncos Christmas game has not been confirmed amid a subdued season for the artist’s game-day appearances. Historical data indicates Kelce’s performance tends to elevate when Swift is present, contributing to positive outcomes for the Chiefs.
With the team out of postseason contention and Kelce’s career possibly nearing a transition, Swift’s presence at the game carries emotional significance for fans and players alike. However, the final confirmation of her attendance remains pending as the game approaches.
