Scenes from Taylor Swift’s Super Bowl suite: Taylor’s beer chug, Jason Kelce’s big hug
During the singing of “America the Beautiful” before the Super Bowl on Sunday, a cheer erupted from the crowd as Taylor Swift appeared on the big screen inside Allegiant Stadium.
She watched the game from a suite at about midfield, right behind the San Francisco 49ers’ side, which gave her a good view of the Chiefs bench — and boyfriend Travis Kelce.
And as she watched the game, the world watched her.
A star-powered Super Bowl
Even more eyes were on Chiefs-49ers thanks to the celebrity of Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift and more.

Here’s a taste of what went on in her suite at the game in Las Vegas.
The hug
Before the game, Jason Kelce, Travis Kelce’s brother and Philadelphia Eagles center, visited Swift in her suite and hugged her, making every Swiftie in the world swoon. He stuck around, wearing a “Big Yeti” Chiefs T-shirt (his brother’s nickname) and chugging beers.

Kylie and Taylor together again
Kylie Kelce, Jason’s wife, stopped by, too, making this football game a family affair.

Giving thanks?
And then this happened … a guy named Roger Goodell visited Swift.
Wonder if the NFL commissioner thanked her for bringing so much attention (and money) to the league this season?
Shame on him if he didn’t.

Of course, Papa Swift
Swift’s father, Scott Swift, was with her in Tokyo last week wearing a Kansas City Chiefs lanyard around his neck. There was no way the longtime football fan was going to miss this game.
All the parents were there together: Taylor’s mom, Andrea Swift, and Kelce’s parents, Donna Kelce and Ed Kelce.

Ice Spice
Swift’s friend and collaborator, who was just with her at the Grammy’s last weekend, came to her first Chiefs game of the season. What a game to start with.
Video of the rapper entering the stadium with Swift and actress Blake Lively went viral.

Lana Del Rey there, too
Swift’s “Midnights” collaborator sat in front of the singer’s suite, and the two women reached over a barrier to grab each other’s hands before the game, delighting their fans who wanted to see them together.

The suite had a Riot
Del Rey eventually made it into the suite where she watched some of the game alongside Swift and Riot, the rapper and producer who is responsible for several of Ice Spice’s hits.

‘And that guy catches the ball.’
The Super Bowl was the third Chiefs game for Swift’s longtime bestie, stylist and designer Ashley Avignone. Sitting next to Ice Spice in the suite, she seemed to be giving NFL pointers to the rapper.

Chug, chug, chug
During the first half, when the Chiefs were behind, Swift was seen chugging from a can of beer. Video of the moment was shown on the big screen inside the stadium, and the NFL tweeted it with one word: “Icon.”

A Lively scene
Football fans know by now that Swift is a hugger. She’s hugged a parade of people at Chiefs games this season, from Brittany Mahomes and Kelce’s longtime friend Aric Jones to really anyone standing within arm’s length.
Mama Kelce got a kick out of her grabbing Lively at one point during the game.

Then a group hug
When the Chiefs scored in the third quarter, going ahead 13-10, Swift grabbed her entire girl squad in one jubilant, jumping group hug.

Probably not talking Grammys
Ice Spice, Swift and Kelce’s longtime friend and supporter Aric Jones looked deep in conversation during the game, which was tediously close all night.
And with the game clock winding down …

And the game is tied again, heading into overtime.
Overtime … then a touchdown!
