Video of Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce Motorcade Goes Viral
Taylor Swift arrived with Travis Kelce’s family for his Kansas City Chiefs game against the Buffalo Bills in a police protected motorcade.
Tara Lynch, a News 4 Buffalo anchor, posted the video of the motorcade to her X, formerly Twitter, account.
It showed several SUVs and gray vans with tinted windows pulling into the Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park.
Sheriff vehicles drove ahead and behind the line of cars with their sirens on as Bills fans watched on from the sidewalks. Many people cheered them on, with some calling Taylor’s name.
“The Taylor Swift and Kelce Family motorcade has arrived at Highmark Stadium. (It’s me..hi@taylorswift13),” Lynch captioned her post.

Swift was on hand to watch the Chiefs get one step closer to another Super Bowl with a 27-24 win over the Bills alongside Kelce’s brother and Philadelphia Eagles player Jason Kelce, his wife Kylie and the NFL players’ folks, Donna and Ed Kelce.
Jason managed to steal the limelight from Swift in the second quarter of the game, when his brother scored what would be the first of his two touchdowns for the game.
He ripped off his shirt in celebration after his younger brother scored his first touchdown in eight games and began swigging Bud Light topless behind the singer.
Kelce and the Chiefs’ quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, managed to break Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski’s record of touchdown connections in NFL history with their two touchdowns at Sunday’s game.

After Kelce scored his first touchdown he made two gestures that sent Swift’s fans into meltdown. First he blew a kiss and then shaped his hands into a love heart, a popular gesture used by Swift and her fans.
“The heart-hand symbol means something between ‘I love you’ and ‘thank you.’ It’s just a sweet, simple message that you can deliver without saying a word,” Swift told The New York Times in 2011.
Swift managed to get a lot of attention at Sunday’s game. One person made a bespoke flag with her name on it and modeled on former President Donald Trump’s campaign banners.
NBC sports reporter McKenzie Nelson posted a photo of the flag to X. It bore the trademark blue background and thin red border of the Trump flag. The white text read: “Taylor Swift 2024,” and was sandwiched between some white stars.
Swift, who regularly encourages her fans to enrol and vote, hasn’t yet shared her thoughts on the 2024 presidential race, but she did endorse Democrat Joe Biden in 2020.
