Taylor Swift appeared to skip Sunday’s Los Angeles Chargers vs. Kansas City Chiefs game ahead of the Golden Globe Awards. Swift has been dating the Chiefs’ Travis Kelce for months, but the star tight end was ruled inactive for the final game of the regular season.
Swift has attended several Kansas City games this season, and fans in the crowd at Sophie Stadium in Inglewood, California, could be seen holding “Where is Taylor” signs. Kelsey and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes were both ruled out Sunday to avoid playoff injuries. The Chiefs won 13–12, and the game was wrapped up shortly before the Golden Globes began.
Swift attended the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night, where her concert film “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” was nominated for cinematic and box office performance, a new category debuting this year. This award was won by “Barbie”.
Host Joe Coy noted during the ceremony that the Golden Globes air after football on Sunday.
“The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL? At the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift,” he said.
Even if Kelsey had been active for Sunday’s game, it’s possible Swift would have skipped the regular season finale, which started at 4:25 p.m. ET, just 3.5 hours before the 2024 Golden Globe Awards begin. The Golden Globes are being broadcast live on CBS and broadcast live on Paramount+ from the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.
Although Swift has never won a Golden Globe, she has been nominated several times. Last year she was nominated in the original song category for “Carolina” from “Where the Crawdads Sing.”
The singer was also nominated for her song “Beautiful Ghosts” from the 2020 movie version of the musical “Cats.” That year, she attended an award show with Joe Alvin, with the singer posing publicly with Alvin. The two broke up in 2023 after six years together.
Swift was nominated for a Golden Globe in the Best Original Song category in both 2013 and 2014.
This year she will have to face tough competition. Several of last year’s top grossers, including “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer,” are nominated in the cinematic and box office achievement categories.
Swift made his first Chiefs game appearance in September 2023. That same month, Kelce broke his silence on Swift amid rumors and speculation about their relationship on an episode of his “New Heights” podcast. The Chiefs player said he has been on a “rollercoaster of life” since Swift attended one of his games for the first time.
