Who is Taylor Swift cheering for? Her hometown Eagles or Travis Kelce's Chiefs
It's time for Kelce Bowl V.
On Monday night, the Philadelphia Eagles and center Jason Kelce will face the Kansas City Chiefs and tight end Travis Kelce. It will be the fifth time in their careers their teams have faced each other. While the game is difficult for Donna Kelce and the rest of the family, a new person will have her fandom question.
The world will be wondering: Who is Taylor Swift cheering for on Monday?

Before running off to Nashville to launch her singing career into the stratosphere, Taylor was born in West Reading, Pennsylvania and grew up in the region. She gravitated toward the sports teams of Philadelphia, cheering for the Eagles and Phillies. In 2008, she performed the Star-Spangled Banner at a Phillies World Series game.
Taylor is a Philadelphia sports fan at heart and it shouldn't be any different Monday night.

Why would Taylor Swift cheer for the Kansas City Chiefs?
Yes, Swift grew up near Philadelphia, but in case you're been living on the island of Yap in Micronesia – and they probably know about this there as well – she is dating Travis Kelce.
She has attended multiple Chiefs games, including one with Donna Kelce and another with Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Travis Kelce used the Chiefs' bye week last weekend to support Swift during her Era Tour in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Swift even changed the lyrics to her song "Karma" to give a shout out to Kelce.

If that's not love and support, I'm not sure what is. So, Swift will be cheering for the Chiefs.
Will Taylor Swift follow Donna Kelce's lead?
Swift could follow the lead of Donna Kelce. During the Super Bowl, Donna Kelce wore a jersey and jacket that were half Eagles and half Chiefs to support both her sons.
Swift could try to satisfy her hometown fan base while still giving a nod to her sweetheart.
Will Taylor Swift be at the Eagles-Chiefs game?
It's possible.
Swift is on the international leg of The Eras Tour. On Sunday, she is performing in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. However, she doesn't have another performance until Nov. 24 in San Paulo, Brazil.
In theory, she could hop a plane Monday morning from Rio to Kansas City and make it in before kickoff. The flight time is about 11 hours and 20 minutes.
At that point, the world will see if she is she stays true to her Philly fandom or chooses her boyfriend's team.
