POLICY WIRE — Kansas City, United States — Pop star Taylor Swift chose to skip the 78th Emmy Awards on Monday night to watch her husband, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, play against the Denver Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium. She was seen sitting alongside actor Tom Cruise during the game.

Swift’s decision to miss the awards show was not entirely unexpected, as she had been focused on celebrating her recent marriage to Kelce and supporting his NFL career. The couple tied the knot over the summer, and this was the first time Swift had attended one of Kelce’s games since their wedding.

The Emmy Awards featured a humorous skit involving Mariska Hargitay and a fictional appearance by Swift, but she opted to be at the stadium instead. Kelce’s performance marked the start of the Chiefs’ 2026 season, with quarterback Patrick Mahomes returning after a knee injury last year.
