At the same time, Kelce didn’t appear at any of Swift’s concerts in Toronto before the Chiefs-Bills game. According to the Bleacher Report, NFL rules about travel the night before a game include curfews and policies about sleeping in the same hotel as the rest of the team.

While Swift has attended every Chiefs home game this NFL season, she hasn't cheered on the Travis Kelce outside of Arrowhead Stadium since the 2024 Super Bowl. Still, fans wondered if she might make an exception for the Bills game, considering how close Buffalo is to Toronto, where she just played three Eras Tour concerts in a row.

Swift's last visit to Buffalo drew some viral attention, thanks in part to the antics of her boyfriend's brother. Attending the game with Swift and his family shortly after his final game in the NFL, Jason Kelce spent time tailgating with Bills fans and jumped from their private suite into the crowd shirtless to drink a beer with fans.
