Taylor Swift didn’t make it to Empower Field at Mile High to support her husband, tight finish Travis Kelce and the Chiefs in an AFC West conflict with the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
The Chiefs lost a heartbreaker, 28-24, to their division rivals that came down to the remaining play.
Swift did not attend the Chiefs’ 20-3 loss to the defending champion Seahawks on Oct. 25 in Seattle.
The next day, the “Patient Zero” singer was formally inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, turning into its youngest-ever member at age 36, while at the gala in Tenn.
The 14-time Grammy winner has been to every Chiefs dwelling sport at Arrowhead Stadium so far this season — including Kansas City’s 22-6 win over the Chargers in Week 6, where the CBS broadcast confirmed her and Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark watching the sport in a suite.

Swift and Kelce — who were married on July 3 at Madison Square Garden in New York City — celebrated the three-time Super Bowl champion’s birthday during the Chiefs’ bye week earlier this month.
The pair was photographed strolling into Torrisi, an upscale Italian SoHo restaurant.
The Chiefs went into their bye week with a 4-0 mark before Seattle handed them their first loss of the season.
Kansas City did not attain the crimson zone or the finish zone against Seattle.
Kelce called it a “pretty frustrating game” during Wednesday’s installment of his and Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast.

“Another frustrating performance for the offense. Obviously didn’t even get a change to get into the red zone. It felt like they were playing prevent the entire time. It just let the front four cause havoc in the run game and get out of the pocket… It was a pretty frustrating game from the jump,” Kelce said.
“… Bad techniques, bad fundamentals, just OK effort. The attention to detail. I say this because that’s what I see in myself on film. I can only speak on what i can do better… As a unit, we gotta play better together… It’s frustrating, because we were rolling as a unit for a while there. And I think we’re not far off from getting right back to it… I think we just need to learn from this, feel how it felt to get our tail kicked like that, and never let it happen again.”
