Is Tom Cruise a Chiefs fan and why is he with Taylor Swift at the Chiefs vs Broncos game tonight?
Tom Cruise shocked fans by showing up at Arrowhead alongside Taylor Swift for Chiefs vs. Broncos. But is the Hollywood superstar really a Kansas City fan?
After hours of uncertainty surrounding Taylor Swift ’s attendance at the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Denver Broncos game, the singer finally arrived at Arrowhead — but she didn’t do it alone. Swift was joined by Tom Cruise , whose appearance immediately sent social media into a frenzy.
Broncos are 1-2 when Taylor Swift is in attendance
So far, Taylor Swift has been publicly seen at three Chiefs-Broncos matchups , all of them played at Arrowhead Stadium.
Her first appearance came on October 12, 2023 , when Kansas City defeated Denver 19-8. That night, Travis Kelce was one of the stars of the game, finishing with nine receptions for 124 yards.
Swift was also in attendance for the November 10, 2024 meeting, when the Broncos nearly pulled off the upset. Denver took a 14-10 lead into halftime and had a chance to win with a late field goal, but Kansas City blocked Wil Lutz’s attempt as time expired to escape with a 16-14 victory .
Denver’s only win with Swift watching from the stands came on Christmas Day 2025 , when the Broncos defeated the Chiefs 20-13 at Arrowhead. Bo Nix led the comeback and connected with RJ Harvey on a one-yard touchdown pass with 1:45 remaining to seal the victory.
With those results, Denver owns a 1-2 record in Chiefs-Broncos games where Swift has been in attendance.
It is not a statistic that will change Sean Payton’s game plan , but it does show that Swift’s presence has hardly been a “curse” for the Broncos.
Travis Kelce’s arrival before Chiefs-Broncos matchup
In a video shared by the Chiefs, Kelce, 36, can be seen walking through the tunnels on his way to the locker room to get ready for the home opener against the Denver Broncos on Monday, Sept. 14.
For the occasion, the three-time Super Bowl champion kept his look simple: a seafoam green shirt, brown pants, sunglasses and a stylish gold watch. However, the centerpiece of his outfit was his sparkling gold wedding ring, which quickly grabbed attention.
The matchup against Denver marks the start of Kelce’s 14th NFL season , a campaign that could be the final chapter of a legendary career. It also represents his first game as Taylor Swift’s husband after the couple celebrated a lavish wedding on July 3 at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
