Taylor Swift Mistaken for Fan at Chiefs vs. Steelers Game

During the Kansas City Chiefs’ Christmas Day game

against the Pittsburgh Steelers, it was rumored that Taylor Swift made a low-key appearance in the crowd.

During the Wednesday, December 25, game in Pennsylvania, several attendees claimed via social media that they saw Swift, 35, sitting in a private box wearing a white cardigan and her signature red lip.

Swift, however, was not present at Acrisure Stadium on Wednesday. The attendee in question, a TikToker named Olivia, has since addressed the comparisons.

“Today, I was at the Steelers [versus] Kansas City game for Christmas and I was sitting in a box seat with my best friend,” Olivia said in a video posted later on Wednesday. “We were having a really, really nice time. … I would see a lot of people take pictures of me or wave to me. I would wave back, like, I didn’t want to be mean or rude. I was like, ‘Maybe they think I’m Taylor Swift?’ I can see it from far away.”

Olivia said that a “staff member came up” to her when the game ended, stating that she was going viral on social media for presumably being Swift.

“I’m sorry to the people that thought I was Taylor Swift, but yeah, everyone was like, ‘Is that Taylor Swift in the white sweater?’ It was me,” Olivia quipped. “There were a bunch of videos of me standing up or me sitting down or, like, talking to my friend. It was a whole thing.”

She concluded, “I hope you had a really nice time otherwise, but very sorry about that one.”

Swift has been a staple at Kansas City Chiefs football games since fall 2023 when she started dating tight end Travis Kelce.

“When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” the Grammy winner told TIME in December 2023. “The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”

This season, however, Swift has only made it to home games at Missouri’s Arrowhead Stadium. After Kelce, 35, and the Chiefs won 29-10 on Wednesday, Swift shared her support from afar.

Swift dropped “likes” on several Instagram posts highlighting Kelce’s latest team milestone. He is now the team’s receiver with the most touchdowns, surpassing retired athlete Tony Gonzalez.

“It’s everything to me. Tony’s been a mentor to me, he’s been there right there for me [with] any questions I’ve ever had,” Kelce said in a postgame interview. “I feel like I’m still trying to fill that guy’s shoes. He’s such an unbelievable competitor and I’ve got so much love for him. It’s an honor to be in conversations with him.”
