Taylor Swift prioritizes Chiefs’ Touchdown over latest Eras Tour show

Taylor Swift’s final night on the Eras Tour came with an extra dose of excitement and a soccer game playing in the background.

As the world tour wrapped up in Vancouver on December 8, 2024, the pop superstar found herself balancing the biggest night of her career with her support of fiancé Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Swift, 36, took the stage for the final time on the record-breaking tour on the same Sunday that the Chiefs faced the Los Angeles Chargers in Kansas City.

A behind-the-scenes moment from the Disney+ documentaries The end of an era it shows how closely she watched the game in the hours leading up to her performance.

Wearing a Chiefs T-shirt, Swift walked into her dressing room and asked, “Did you start the game?” as the match played on television.

Sitting next to her dad, Scott Swift, she reacted in real time, cheering audibly and cringing at key moments.

“Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God… Thank you sir, I need them to keep running away with this,” he exclaimed as the game progressed.

Scott couldn’t help but point out how unexpected the moment was.

Swift agreed, joking, “I never thought you and I would ever talk about sports in my life. I mean, it didn’t happen until I was 32.” Her dad quickly added, “I was just waiting.”

Despite the high stakes of her latest show, Swift insisted she could handle both worlds.

As she tried out her surprise songs, she kept looking at the screen.

During a transit from Young Romanticshe even changed the lyrics, singing, “Get this first down, please.” When the Chiefs scored, he abruptly stopped practice to yell, “Touchdown!” while Scott laughed.

“Yes! Oh st. If I have my way, the day I’ll have…”, he said, clearly feeling a lucky streak.

The Chiefs eventually won 19-17, capturing their ninth consecutive AFC West title. Later that night, Swift closed her Eras Tour, marking the end of a defining chapter in her career.

Reflecting on the trip in one voice, he admitted that the tour had consumed almost everything.

“I think after this tour, it would be nice to reclaim some of the things I had to cut out of my life,” he said. “I’ll let you know.”

For Swift, the night was a reminder that even in the biggest moment of her career, love, family and the touch of the Chiefs still matter just as much.
