Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s sweet game-day tradition revealed by ex-Chiefs cheerleader
She might not be cheer captain, but she is certainly on the bleachers — and near the locker room.
A former Kansas City Chiefs cheerleader revealed Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s sweet game-day tradition in a September 2024 TikTok.
“At the end of the game, she would always meet Travis by the locker room,” Stefanie Hills told her followers in a selfie-style video at the time, making sure to note that she does not consider herself a Swiftie.
“There was one game where we were like, ‘We have got to just wait here, and I’m sure we’re gonna see her walk by.’ And then we all stand by the door, like, huddled like this. ‘Maybe she’ll take a picture with us!’ We were waiting for, like, a really long time.”
“At the end of the game, she would always meet Travis by the locker room,” Stefanie Hills told her followers in a selfie-style video at the time.
Hills argued that “you do not need to be a Swiftie to recognize that Taylor Swift is the most successful artist in the world right now” — and possibly ever.
“Notice how I said ‘successful,’ because talent is subjective, but success is measurable,” she added.
Hills was admittedly “confused” when she saw the pop superstar, 35, in the stands at Arrowhead Stadium cheering on the Chiefs tight end, also 35, at that first game in September 2023. She remembered thinking to herself, “There is no way that Taylor Swift is dating Travis Kelce. Like, this must be a publicity stunt.”
Hills confessed she was so starstruck by the singer-songwriter’s presence that she “almost pooped” herself.
“I literally was, like, ‘I don’t know how to do my job right now.’ ’Cause I have to watch the game and lead the chants and dances and I physically cannot focus ’cause I’m like, ‘That is Taylor Swift,’” Hills shared.
“At that game, we performed my choreography in the end zone, and I looked up, and no joke, she was on the screen, and she was clapping. And I was like, ‘She just watched our team dance and is now applauding, and she liked my choreography.’ Like, if she didn’t like it, she would’t have clapped. So that was pretty cool.”
