On Sunday, No. 87 appeared to suffer an injury after slipping on the turf following a play where he caught the ball, while he and the Kansas City Chiefs faced off against the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank stadium.
After suffering the no-contact injury, the NFL tight end slammed his helmet as he limped to the sidelines.NFL commentator, Jim Nantz made the announcement at the start of the game, as b-roll of fans wearing jerseys that read,"Swifties" and holding signs that read,"Where's Taylor?" flashed on the screen.
"Seven words I thought would never leave my lips in my career: Taylor Swift is not at the game... She was questionable all week, but it looks like it's officially inactive," he said. The"Anti-Hero" singer's absence comes after Kelce celebrated his 34th birthday in Kansas City, without her. On Thursday, an eyewitness told ET that Kelce was joined by teammates and one of his agents as he dined at Golden Ox -- a steakhouse.
According to the eyewitness, no. 87 and his birthday squad arrived around 8:30 p.m. and practically shut down the place.It's the first time that there's been a blank space for Swift at one of Kelce's games in three weeks. On Sept. 24, Swift attended Kelce and the Chiefs' home game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, where she sat in the suites with his mother, Donna Kelce.
