A former Kansas City Chiefs cheerleader lifted the lid on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s gameday rituals.
In a September 2024 TikTok, Stefanie Hills told her followers about what goes on between the power couple behind the scenes at Arrowhead.
Hills noted in the selfie-style video that she does not consider herself a Swiftie. Nonetheless, she gushed over their routines and seeing Swift at Arrowhead for the first time.
‘At the end of the game, she would always meet Travis by the locker room,’ Hills shared.
‘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.’
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.’

‘Notice how I said ‘successful,’ because talent is subjective, but success is measurable,’ she added.
When Swift first went to support Kelce in September 2023, Hills admitted that she was ‘confused’ about the 14-time Grammy winner’s presence.
‘There is no way that Taylor Swift is dating Travis Kelce. Like, this must be a publicity stunt,’ she remembers thinking.
‘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 wouldn’t have clapped. So that was pretty cool.’
The songstress most recently attended the Chiefs’ divisional playoff game against the Texans – in which Kelce scored a touchdown to help Kansas City secure a 23-14 win and a spot in the AFC Championship game before the Buffalo Bills.
Swift was seen with Ed Kelce and Caitlin Clark in the suite as they cheered for the Chiefs.
After the win, a reporter asked Kelce if he was ‘Feeling 25 again?’ He then responded with a nod to Swift, saying, ’22, baby. 22.’
