    After supporting her beau Travis Kelce in last year's Super Bowl victory with the Kansas City Chiefs, Taylor Swift is seemingly set to continue cheering him on from the sidelines in the upcoming season, despite controversy attached to her presence .

    The romance between the NFL star and the singing sensation piqued curiosity amongst sports and music fans alike as their relationship unraveled under the public eye since last September.

    The singer attended her first Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium where they faced the Chicago Bears, and in total, she spectated from the VIP box at 13 matches throughout the 2023 run.

    What became an unexpected subplot during a memorable season for KC, the "Anti Hero" singer often became the focal point for broadcasters who would frequently turn cameras towards her presence in the crowd during games featuring her other half. Despite facing some criticism from NFL traditionalists, her appearances to watch Kelce play attracted new audiences including her legion of admirers.

    In related news, a source revealed to PEOPLE that Swift aims to make regular appearances at Kelce's games next season too, disclosing: "Football is definitely still his priority but so is his relationship. He makes romantic gestures to show he's thinking of her when they're apart. She's going to try to attend as many games as possible."

    "They have so much fun together, and it just works. It's funny to their friends because at first everyone wondered what they had in common, but you realize how similar they are. They both wear their hearts on their sleeves and are all-in with everything they do, whether it's with career, family or friends."

    Despite her personal life, the singer assured her Liverpool audience on June 13 that her primary focus is her global Eras Tour, which runs until December 8. She shared: "That feels so far away from now, but then again, it feels like we just played our first show on this tour because you have made this so fun for us."

    "It's taken over everything. I think I once had hobbies, but I don't know what they were anymore because all I do when I'm not on stage is sit at home and try to think of clever acoustic song mashups."

    During the NFL off-season, Kelce has travelled to various locations to see his girlfriend perform on the European leg of her tour, attending shows in London and Dublin during her 152-night run. In a memorable moment in London, he even appeared on stage in a top hat and a smart suit, performing a routine with his partner between songs.

    On his New Heights podcast, he hinted at more surprise appearances, saying: "Who knows, this might not be the last time you see me busting moves out there. You guys are just going to have to keep buying those tickets to the Eras Tour to see if I magically appear from under the stage or something.' ".

    He also shared how the idea came about: "I initially mentioned it to Tay but was like 'How funny would it be if I rolled out on one of the bikes for the 1989 era' and she started laughing and was like 'Would you seriously be up for doing something like that? ' I was just like, 'what? I would love to do that, are you kidding me? ' I've seen the show enough, might as well put me to work here."
