Swifties, rejoice.
For the second time in as many weeks, iconic musician Taylor Swift will reportedly be in attendance at a Kansas City Chiefs game – this time on the road for Sunday night's contest against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium – according to a report from Front Office Sports.
The Jets did not immediately respond to USA TODAY regarding Swift's plans.
Swift, who has been linked to Chiefs All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce, attended Week 3's Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium, a 41-10 thumping of the Chicago Bears. Swift took in the action in a suite with Kelce's family and was caught on FOX's broadcast sitting next to and cheering with Kelce's mother, Donna.
The pop superstar and the two-time Super Bowl champion Kelce walked out of Arrowhead Stadium together after the game in what was their first public appearance as a duo.

Swift's attendance brought a surge of her fans in an unlikely crossover. The national FOX broadcast of the Chiefs' win over the Bears was the highest-rated NFL game of the week for women in three different age demographics covering 12 to 49, according to FOX Sports: the game ranked first in females 12-17, 18-34 and 18-49. The telecast was also the most-watched NFL broadcast of the week on any network with 24.3 million total viewers.
Swift's presence has also contributed to a mega boost in sales for Kelce's No. 87 jersey and a spike in his social media numbers. The tight end has now passed 3 million Instagram followers, gaining 325,000 in a week, which is a bigger increase than he saw after winning last year's Super Bowl, also per Front Office Sports.
Kelce shouted out Swift in a podcast and said his family had "nothing but great things to say about her." Against the Bears, he caught seven passes for 69 yards — both team highs on the day — and one touchdown.
This won't be the first NFL-Swift crossover related to MetLife Stadium, which is located in East Rutherford, New Jersey. In May, Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers was caught dancing at a Swift concert at the venue.
