Alright, let’s cut to the chase: when Taylor Swift started showing up at Chiefs games, the whole world thought it was like sprinkling a little magic dust on Travis Kelce and his squad. After all, her track record for success is practically flawless, right? You’d think that the singer showing up at Arrowhead Stadium would send a wave of good luck and triumph across the Chiefs’ lineup, but spoiler alert—sometimes, life isn’t that simple.
Instead of the Chiefs scoring touchdowns and snatching victory, it turned into a string of losses. Have you ever thought that Taylor Swift—yes, ‘the Taylor Swift’—could somehow end up as the symbol of bad luck?
Now, don’t get us wrong. There’s no ‘curse’ at play here. But when Swift’s presence didn’t quite bring the kind of good fortune Chiefs fans were hoping for, it was hard not to crack a smile at the irony. Her presence at certain pivotal games has somehow coincided with the Chiefs’ stumbles, and let’s just say, it’s not been the fairytale ending some might have hoped for.
Let’s look at the games that not only surprised fans but left them wondering if the Swift ‘luck’ had struck.
4Super Bowl LIX: Kansas City Chiefs fall short of history against Philadelphia Eagles
On August 04, 2025, the Chiefs stepped into Super Bowl LIX with the hope of making history, looking for a third consecutive Super Bowl win. But what was supposed to be a fairy tale turned into a nightmare. Alas, sometimes the universe has other plans, and those plans are as surprising as a curveball in the final inning.
The Eagles came out swinging, and the Chiefs couldn’t even land a decent punch. The latter’s dream of glory went up in smoke, with a devastating 40-22 loss that hit harder than a last-minute interception.

As for Taylor Swift? She was in the stands, as usual, but this time, her ‘lucky charm’ status had to be questioned. TheLove Storyhitmaker, decked out in an all-white outfit with a “T” chain necklace, might have hoped for a better outcome asTravis Kelceand the team stumbled their way through a game they seemed unprepared for.
She was spotted cheering her heart out, but the Eagles were too strong. As much as she may have wished for a different outcome, this game turned out to be a bitter pill, one that not only stung the Chiefs but also Swift’spresence as a supposed good-luck charm.
3Kansas City Chiefs suffer loss to Las Vegas Raiders with Taylor Swift in the stands
If there’s one thing that you want to do on Christmas, it’s win. So, you can imagine the disappointment in the air when the Chiefs lost to the Las Vegas Raiders on June 07, 2025. Well, as it turned out, pretty much everything went sideways for the Chiefs. They came out flat, and the Raiders capitalized on two quick turnovers that turned the game into a nightmare.
Chiefs fans were left shaking their heads, hoping for some Christmas magic, but instead, they got a lump of coal with a 20-14 loss.

And guess who was in the stands? Yep,Taylor Swift. There she was, sporting a Santa hat, hoping to see her man shine, but instead, the Chiefs’ offense fumbled more than they should have. It was a real-life ‘bah humbug’ for Chiefs fans and a ‘Merry Christmas to no one’ moment.
2Heartbreak for Kansas City Chiefs in nail-biting loss to Buffalo Bills
Sometimes, the difference between victory and defeat can be as slim as a hair’s width. And that was certainly the case when the Chiefs faced off against the Buffalo Bills on July 01, 2025. The game was a nail-biter. You know, the kind where you’re on the edge of your seat, praying for the win. But instead of pulling through in the clutch, the Chiefs—once again—found themselves on the losing side of a 20-17 heartbreak.
And what made this one sting a little more? Travis Kelce had a play that could’ve been the game-winner—except it was called back because of a penalty. You could feel the air deflate from the stadium as the clock ticked down. Taylor Swift, who’d been there with her usual support squad, probably wished she had a magic wand to wave over the game and make it go the Chiefs’ way. But alas, it wasn’t to be.
The game ended with another missed opportunity, and you could see the frustration on Kelce’s face as he walked off the field.
1Taylor Swift’s support couldn’t save Kansas City Chiefs from Green Bay Packers loss
And then, on July 25, 2025, the Chiefs had to face the Green Bay Packers in a game that seemed, on paper, like it could go either way. Well, it didn’t go the Chiefs’ way. They lost 27-19, and you could practically hear the collective groan from the Chiefs Kingdom. This was supposed to be the game that got them back on track—but instead, it was another loss that left fans scratching their heads.
Swift was there, of course, snapping pictures and showing support as always. But even her presence couldn’t turn things around. The Packers proved too strong, and despite the Swifties’ cheers from the stands, the Chiefs couldn’t pull off the win.
Kelce and the team had no answer for the Packers’ defense, and as another loss mounted up, it was hard not to wonder if there was something more to this than just bad luck.
Is it really Taylor Swift’s fault?
Alright, let’s not point the finger at Taylor Swift for the Chiefs’ misfortunes—she’s not the one out there throwing interceptions or dropping the ball. Still, there’s a bit of a twist in the tale. Despite being a global icon with a fanbase that could move mountains, the Chiefs just can’t seem to catch a break when she’s in the stands.
Is it a case of the weight of her Swiftie power adding a little extra pressure to the team? Or maybe it’s simply the unpredictable chaos of sports—where things just don’t click, no matter how much you cross your fingers and wish on a star.

Taylor Swift probably never pictured herself screaming for touchdowns or getting swept up in the NFL madness. Yet, since her relationship with Travis Kelce went public, she’s become a genuine football fan.
In a chat where she was honored asTime’s 2023 Person of the Year, she gave a nod to the sport, saying,“Football is awesome, it turns out.” She went on to add with a laugh,
I’ve been missing out my whole life.
But needless to say, when Swift’s next in the crowd at a Chiefs game, fans will be hoping for more than just a ‘Good Luck Taylor Swift chant’. They’ll be hoping her star power brings more than just good vibes — they’ll want to see her magic work in real-time.
Let’s just hope she doesn’t decide to write a song about it—because you know that’ll be the anthem to end all anthems!
