Making their first public appearance since their highly publicized engagement, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce watched his alma mater open its season at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday night.
Joined by brother and fellow University of Cincinnati alum Jason Kelce, Travis was seen on the sideline prior to kickoff against Nebraska, but later migrated up to Swift’s customary VIP suite with his fiancee.
Swift made her own grand entrance to the VIP area, where the Bearcats’ social media team caught her walking off the elevator in a short skirt and sweater vest.
‘Congratulations,’ one bystander could be heard saying as Swift walked through the room.
Later, the Kelces’ good friends Patrick and Brittany Mahomes also joined the newly engaged couple in the VIP suite.
And for all the talk about a political divide between the pro-Trump Brittany and anti-Trump Swift, the two seemed to be engaged in conversation during the Big 12 clash.

The 35-year-old Travis foreshadowed his attendance at the Bearcats’ matchup with Big 12 rival Nebraska during a recent interview with former Cornhusker linebacker Will Compton’s podcast, Bussin’ With The Boys.
‘One-hundred percent. Yeah,’ Kelce said when asked if he’ll be in attendance. ‘It’s right there.’
Kelce went on to make a low-stakes wager with the nine-year NFL veteran, Compton, who will agreed to wear some Bearcats gear in the event of a Cornhuskers loss.
‘I’ve lost so many f***ing bets that I think I’m due for a win,’ Kelce continued. ‘I think my Bearcats are gonna f***ing, they’re gonna come through, and you guys are gonna have to f***ing come onto ‘New Heights.’ And you’re rocking a f***ing Cincinnati jersey. Whole get-up too. Pants, helmet.’
Despite being from the opposite side of the Buckeye state, the Cleveland-born Kelce brothers both opted to attend Cincinnati, where they helped return the program to national prominence.
Both brothers were members of the 2009 Bearcats, who went 12-0 before falling to fifth-ranked Florida in the Sugar Bowl after head coach Brian Kelly abandoned Cincinnati for Notre Dame in the days following the regular season.
Interestingly, Travis once said he was recruited in high school to play basketball at West Virginia by former Cincinnati coach, Bob Huggins.
