Taylor Swift was not present at Empower Field at Mile High for the Kansas City Chiefs' away game against the Denver Broncos on Nov 1, 2026, according to reports from Elle and the New York Post.

What happened

The Chiefs faced the Broncos in an AFC West matchup that ended in a 28‑24 loss for Kansas City. The game took place at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver. Swift was in New York City earlier that day, participating in a Q&A session during a screening of Toy Story 5 and was photographed there.

What the reports add

Elle noted that Swift has attended every Chiefs home game this season but has not been seen at any away games for the past two seasons, citing security concerns as a factor. The outlet also mentioned that Swift wrote the song “I Knew It, I Knew You” for the film, which is generating Oscar buzz.

The New York Post reported that Swift also missed the Chiefs' 20‑3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Oct 25, 2026, and highlighted her recent induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame on Oct 26, 2026. Both outlets confirm that Swift has been present at every Chiefs home game, including the 22‑6 win over the Chargers in Week 6, where she was seen with Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark in a suite.

What was said

Elle quoted Swift’s December 2023 interview with Time, in which she said, “I’m just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much.” The New York Post did not provide a direct quote from Swift for this game but referenced her earlier statement about supporting her husband.

How it came about

Swift’s pattern of attending only home games was first documented by Felo News on Oct 26, 2026, when she missed the Chiefs‑Seahawks game in Seattle (taylor-swift-absent-chiefs-seahawks-game). Earlier coverage also noted her presence at the Chiefs‑Chargers game on Oct 18, 2026 (taylor-swift-hugs-donna-kelce) and her celebration of Kelce’s record‑breaking catch in Week 1 (travis-kelce-59-yard-catch). The current absence continues the trend of skipping away games, which outlets attribute to security and touring commitments.
