Taylor Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce seemed to enjoy the stadium entertainment as they watched the 2024 US Open final between Jannik Sinner and Taylor Fritz
They have been dating since 2023, with Swift becoming a regular attendee at Chiefs fixtures.
Kelce confirmed in March that he would return to play another season with the Chiefs after he and quarterback Patrick Mahomes were denied a historic third successive Super Bowl win in February when they suffered a 40-22 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The veteran tight end had been subject to retirement rumours, but insisted he was not ready to walk away from football just yet.
The announcement comes just a matter of days before the start of the new NFL season, which the Chiefs begin by playing the Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil on Friday September 5.
