Taylor Swift is back in her Chiefs era — and she's bringing actor Tom Cruise along with her.

The 36-year-old singer-songwriter was spotted chatting with Cruise, 64, in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium on Monday, Sept. 14 for the Kansas City Chiefs' first game of the 2026 NFL season, where she cheered on her husband, Travis Kelce, as the team faced the rival Denver Broncos.

Swift and Cruise were seen during the end of the first quarter of the game. The singer wore a checkered red and white top and sipped a drink as she and the actor — one of many A-list guests at her and the NFL star's wedding on July 3 — chatted during the game.

Monday's season opener marked quarterback Patrick Mahomes' return to the field after he suffered season-ending ACL and LCL tears in December 2025.

The AFC West matchup also marked Swift's return to the stands — a familiar place for the superstar after she became a regular at Kelce's games throughout their relationship.

She first attended a Chiefs game in September 2023, when she watched Kansas City take on the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.

Swift's first Chiefs game of the 2025 season came on Sept. 14, 2025, when she attended Kansas City's home matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Over the years, Swift has turned Chiefs game days into something of a family-and-friends affair, often bringing famous pals and members of her own family.

In October 2024, she attended a Chiefs game outside New York City with friends, while her dad, Scott Swift, joined her for a game outside Boston. Both of her parents and her brother, Austin Swift, also attended the Chiefs' Christmas Day game in 2024.

She has also grown close with the Chiefs family, frequently spending time with Kelce's mom, Donna, and celebrating alongside Mahomes' wife, Brittany.
