The Philadelphia Eagles have many a famous fan, from the actual president of the United States, Joe Biden, to the likes of Bradley Cooper, Kevin Hart, and Tina Fey. Still, it must hurt to see a name as resounding as Taylor Swift‘s switch sides.
Recommended VideosThe celebrated pop star is a West Reading, Pennsylvania native, just 60 miles northwest of Philadelphia, and up until this Sunday, it was widely believed her heart belonged to the Eagles. Not only does Swift have a song — “Gold Rush,” on her ninth studio album evermore — with a lyric about an Eagles t-shirt she owns, but she’s also worn team paraphernalia in public on a few occasions in the past.
It must be so emotional for the Philadelphia Eagles, who no doubt grew up listening to Taylor Swift’s music, to be able to play in her home stadium tonight. pic.twitter.com/A3ZY2C134j

Travis Kelce is a tight end for the football team, despite, funnily enough, having a brother, Jason Kelce, who plays for the Eagles. Their mom, Donna, much like Swift, has a heart split in two, and is often seen wearing a jersey that’s half Eagles’ green and half Chiefs’ red.

— 10,000 rat blunts (@getyourschexyon) September 20, 2023If Taylor Swift is a real Eagles fan she’ll string Travis along until the playoffs & dump him in heart breaking fashion which ruins his psyche & causes KC to blow up from the inside
— ANNOYING EAGLES FAN Von Bro Dude (@ericjfink) September 20, 2023The romance between Swift and Kelce apparently started after the player attended the musician’s Eras Tour concert at Arrowhead Stadium back in July, and proceeded to invite her to come see him put on a show. “I threw the ball in her court and, you know, I told her, ‘I’ve seen you rock the stage at Arrowhead,'” Kelce revealed during an episode of The Pat McAfee Show. “‘You might have to come see me rock the stage at Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit’,” he continued, adding “So we’ll see what happens in the near future.”
Swift accepted Kelce’s invitation and spent her Sunday in Kansas with Mama Kelce, dressed for the occasion in a Chiefs’ jacket, before leaving with her football player beau in his convertible car. It’s undeniable that the two make quite a pair, but it must definitely sting for Eagles aficionados.
