All eyes were on Taylor Swift on Sunday, as the 12-time Grammy Award winner attended Kansas City's game against Chicago at Arrowhead Stadium amid rumors that she and Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce are dating.

Social media went wild when reports emerged ahead of kickoff that the pop superstar had accepted Kelce's invitation to come see him play and would be attending the game. That was confirmed when FOX TV cameras showed Swift standing and cheering next to Kelce's mother, Donna, in his suite.

Kelce got to show off in the third quarter when he caught a 3-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes to extend the Chiefs' lead to 41-0.

Swift was very happy to see it.

In his walk-off interview with FOX Sports' Erin Andrews, Mahomes admitted that he knew Swift was in attendance for Sunday's game, which the Chiefs went on to win with ease, 41-10. 

"I heard she was in the house," Mahomes said. "I felt a little bit of pressure [to throw a touchdown pass to Kelce]. So, I knew I had to get it to Trav. 

"Of course, it was on a route that Travis did his own thing and just makes up a route and threw it to him. I think he wanted to get into the end zone just as much as all the Swifties wanted him to."

"She's tremendous at everything she does," Mahomes added at the postgame presser. "I haven't got to meet her, but I guess if she ends up being with Travis [then] I'll probably get to meet her." 

"He told me at the last minute," Mahomes said about how Kelce let him know of Swift's attendance. "But there [are] some things with Trav where he kinda just says it and you don't know if it's true or not. He says it so calmly."

Over an hour after Sunday's win, Swift was seen leaving Arrowhead Stadium with Kelce, saying hello to onlookers. 

Kansas City's star pass-rusher Chris Jones also shouted out the two after the game.

Kelce initially tried to shoot his shot with Swift during her Eras Tour concert series this past summer but was unsuccessful — until rumors emerged in September that the pair have been "quietly hanging out." In his first public comments about the rumors on Sep. 21, Kelce compared the swirling rumor mill to a giant game of "Telephone."

Earlier in the week, Philadelphia Eagles center and Kelce's brother Jason told a local radio station that the dating rumors were "100% true."
