Will Taylor Swift come to Baltimore to cheer on Chiefs in AFC title game against Ravens?

BALTIMORE — The Kansas City Chiefs are headed to Baltimore to take on the Ravens for the AFC title, but the party train won’t truly arrive until Taylor Swift steps off in Charm City.

Since late September, Swift has been a fixture at NFL games as she shows her support for partner Travis Kelce, who plays tight end for the Chiefs.

Much has been made of Swift’s appearances at football games, particularly the camera’s frequent focus on her as she charms and conquers a different kind of stadium crowd than her usual.

Swift’s The Eras Tour was the top-grossing concert in 2023 and the Federal Reserve credited the 34-year-old pop star with boosting the economy.

But will she boost the Chiefs’ chances against the Ravens, who are playing for the AFC championship at home for the first time?

The Chiefs are 8-3 during the regular season and postseason when Swift has attended games and 5-3 when she hasn’t.

So while Swift may be Kelce’s good luck charm in life, it’s not certain that she makes a difference to the play on the field, despite what some critics on social media have said.

Swifties, as her fans are called, will no doubt be charmed by the singer’s visit to Baltimore, which has not been lucky enough to host one of Swift’s concerts. The last time she performed in Maryland was at FedEx Field in Landover in 2018 during her Reputation Stadium Tour.

Meanwhile, Ravens fans are no doubt hoping Baltimore’s M&T Bank Stadium will indeed be the last stop on Swift’s NFL tour.
