One of Taylor Swift’s backup dancers began to go viral on Thursday, Sept. 5, after posting a photo of herself wearing a Kansas City Chiefs jersey as the pop star herself arrived in Kansas City, Mo., to attend the team’s NFL season kickoff game.
Natalie Peterson , who has been traveling with Swift’s team as part of the hit international Eras Tour , shared a selfie with her Instagram followers on Thursday. In the photo, she wore glasses and stuck her tongue out at the camera, flashing a smile and dual peace signs. Peterson wore a black Chiefs jersey sporting #15, the number assigned to Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes .
“GAME DAY BABY GO @chiefs,” Peterson wrote in a text overlay included with her photo, which she shared on Instagram Stories .
A fan account for Swift and her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce , shared a screenshot of the selfie on X , formerly Twitter. The fan account noted they “love to see” Swift’s backup dancers supporting the team, even as one X user speculated that Peterson’s involvement in the fandom might have begun prior to the Swift-Kelce romance.
Thursday marked the first official game of the 2024 NFL season. The Chiefs were slated to play the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City in what marked the teams’ first matchup since the AFC Championship back in late January. The Chiefs’ victory in that earlier game enabled them to compete in Super Bowl LVIII , which they won in overtime against the San Francisco 49ers.
In anticipation of the Chiefs’ first game back, Swifties speculated online about the likelihood of the pop superstar’s attendance. Swift, 34, cheered Kelce, also 34, on in person at several Chiefs games last season and is now on a break from her Eras Tour until mid-October, leading many to believe that she could attend several games during her time off.
Much to fans’ excitement, the “Fortnight” songstress was spotted entering the stadium shortly before the game was due to begin on Thursday evening. She wowed spectators with her game day outfit, which fans quickly began decoding online as they picked up on its potential hidden meanings .
