What would Election Day 2024 be without a Taylor Swift story? Although the star was rumored to be part of Kamala’s final rally on Election Eve, the internet was quick to reveal images of Swift showing up for her boyfriend’s (er- friend? Don’t know, don’t care) NFL game, instead. Forced to choose, she opted for the football game and ditched Kamala!

Although Swift is from a Philadelphia suburb near Kamala’s latest rally, as Fox News reported, the pop star apparently opted for the highlights of the Chiefs game instead of showing up for Kamala’s final rally. I don’t blame her. Box seats at an NFL game versus a Kamala rally — is that really a choice?
Taylor Swift chose football over Kamala Harris’s pre-Election Day rally in Pennsylvania as the music megastar was spotted entering Arrowhead Stadium for the Kansas City Chiefs’ game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night.
Swift was rumored to be with Harris at her rally in Pennsylvania on the night before Election Day, but video of Swift entering the stadium made its way to social media.
Swift was spotted wearing a black Chiefs jacket as she was escorted to her seat.
Many of Swift’s A-list peers who support Harris in this year’s presidential election have made appearances at various rallies, including various performers like Lady Gaga, Christian Aguilera, Usher, Eminem and Beyoncé.
However, despite publicly endorsing Harris, Swift is choosing to watch her tight end star boyfriend compete instead of showing out like the others.
With a clear schedule and being from a Philadelphia suburb, many believed the stars aligned for Swift to show up. Instead, it’ll be another prime-time NFL matchup where she’ll root for the Chiefs to remain undefeated on the season.
I’ve never been a “Swifty” — that’s a different sermon altogether. But it wasn’t until she endorsed Kamala Harris that I saw conservative voices start to push back against what she and her music stand for. But I’m not sure I’ve seen Taylor taken down with quite the viciousness of Megyn Kelly.

If you watched the entirety of that explanation by Megyn Kelly, then you now know my full and unambiguous loathing for what Taylor Swift stands for. Nevertheless — I find it stunning and hilarious that she completely ditched Kamala’s rally for a football game!

Also at the game was Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chief Quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who according to the earlier mentioned Fox News story, chose a moment during the game to make a pitch for President Trump — with Taylor Swift standing by!
Meanwhile, this caused a stir in Chiefs Kingdom as Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes and a friend of Swift, first indicated her support for Trump on Aug. 13 after liking Trump’s Instagram post, which was the “2024 GOP platform.”
Also, Mahomes’ mother, Randi, was spotted wearing a “Make America Great Again” at the Chiefs game Monday night.

As the Associated Press reported earlier today, Taylor showed up to the game even as rumors were swirling that she might be at Kamala’s side for the rally just down the street.
Swift was able to celebrate Kelce’s big night, which included 14 catches for 100 yards in a driving rain, along with a victory for the Chiefs. They trailed by a touchdown in the fourth quarter, scored twice to take the lead, then headed to overtime, where they won the coin toss and drove for a touchdown that gave them a 30-24 win.
Swift began her high-profile romance with Kelce last season, when he invited the “Anti-Hero” singer to watch him in a September matchup with the Bears. Since then, the two have spent plenty of time together, often with cameras following every move.
Swift’s arrival in a black outfit and Chiefs coat Monday night came on the eve of the presidential election, in which the 14-time Grammy winner has thrown her support behind Vice President Kamala Harris. That generated a stir when Harris’ rival, Donald Trump, began to reference Swift’s friend and Mahomes’ wife, Brittany, as a supporter of his campaign.
Patrick Mahomes has declined to endorse anyone in the election, instead urging people to register to vote.
🚨| Taylor leaving the game tonight "That was stressful!"

Taylor could be seen mouthing the words, “That was stressful!” as she departed the stadium box where she’d been watching the game. And I have to wonder if that could be her next big hit, crooning over the days of Kamala campaign rallies and supporting her favorite LGBTQ superstars?
