Taylor Swift Cheers On Husband Travis Kelce at Chiefs’ Home Opener Against Broncos, With Tom Cruise by Her Side

She might not have been at the Emmy Awards on Monday night (Sept.

14), but Taylor Swift was still on our TV screens thanks to Monday Night Football.

Swift opted to attend husband Travis Kelce’s season-opening Kansas City Chiefs game against the Denver Broncos.

She was joined by her mom Andrea, dad Scott and brother Austin in the suite, as well as her newly minted in-laws, Donna and Ed Kelce, and a surprise face: Tom Cruise.

Cruise is clearly a friend of newlyweds Swift and Kelce, as he was in attendance at their July 3 nuptials, according to post-wedding anecdotes from sportscasters Joe Buck and Greg Olsen.

While we haven’t yet gotten a full look at Swift’s game day outfit, online fashion sleuths have already pinpointed that she’s wearing the red-and-white gingham polo dress from Guest in Residence based on the brief glimpse we’ve gotten on TV.

The instantly in-demand dress appears to already be sold out in Swift’s color scheme.

While Swift chose the Chiefs/Broncos game over Monday’s Emmys, she did pre-tape a Law & Order: SVU sketch with her longtime friend Mariska Hargitay, who hosted the awards show.

The sketch was all about decoding whether Swift would attend the show — seeing as she was nominated this year for outstanding variety special (pre-recorded), among five nominations for Disney+’s Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The Final Show ; The Muppet Show special starring Sabrina Carpenter took the prize instead.
