Taylor Swift was not observed at the Kansas City Chiefs’ away game against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field on Sunday night, according to Elle and the New York Post.

What happened

The Chiefs faced the Seahawks at Lumen Field in Seattle on Oct. 25, 2026, with kickoff at 8:20 p.m. ET. As of 10:50 p.m. ET, no photos or video footage showed Swift in the visiting team’s suite or elsewhere in the stadium.

What the reports add

Elle noted that Swift has attended every Chiefs home game this season but has never been seen at an away game, citing security concerns from the previous season. The outlet also mentioned that Swift marked the 20th anniversary of her debut album the night before and kept a low profile that evening. The New York Post reported that Swift was absent from the NBC broadcast and was not present in the suite where her husband Travis Kelce, his mother‑in‑law Donna Kelce, and friends such as Caitlin Clark and Este Haim were seated.

What was said

Neither outlet provided direct quotations from Swift or Kelce about the Seattle game. The New York Post referenced a prior appearance, noting that Swift was shown on a CBS broadcast cheering for Kelce during a Chiefs‑Chargers game the previous week.

How it came about

Swift’s pattern of attending only home games was highlighted in Felo’s earlier coverage of her embrace with Donna Kelce at the Oct. 18 Chiefs‑Chargers game (taylor-swift-hugs-donna-kelce) and her viral ring‑pointing moment at a Chiefs‑Colts game (travis-kelce-taylor-swift-ring-moment). Those pieces noted that security and touring commitments have limited her ability to travel to away venues.
