AMERICA’S NEW PASTIME: PORING OVER THE FANCY SEATS TO LEARN EVERYTHING — ANYTHING! — WE CAN ABOUT THESE PEOPLE By Maura Judkis February 9, 2024 at 5:00 a.m. EST (Illustration by María Alconada Brooks/The Washington Post; Nick Wass, Ed Zurga/AP) Listen 6 min Share Comment on this storyComment Add to your saved stories Save On the sidelines of the sidelines of Kansas City Chiefs games, in the stadium’s most rarefied seats, a niche celebrity drama has unfolded since September. Front and center in that plush VIP box is America’s newly minted No. 1 football fan, Ms. Taylor Alison Swift. And surrounding her is where things get interesting. WpGet the full experience.Choose your planArrowRight Who joins Swift to root on her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce? It’s the kind of stereotypical high school popularity contest she would have sung about on one of her early albums: The captain of the football team (er, a captain — he’s one of six), America’s homecoming queen, and the cool, beautiful friends who orbit her planetary fame. Swifties, gossip rags and whoever picks the cutaway shots during NFL broadcasts have all been fascinated by Swift’s box seat companions, noting her burgeoning friendship with Brittany Mahomes (wife of the Chiefs’ quarterback), her warm relationship with Kelce’s mother, and the random members of her friend group who are along for the ride. (Alana Haim, of Haim: apparently a football fan!) Kelce doesn’t mind the coverage. “I think it’s fun when they show who all is at the game,” he said during an October episode of his podcast. “I think it brings a little bit more to the atmosphere.” Advertisement Story continues below advertisement Skip to end of carousel THE STYLE SECTION Style is where The Washington Post covers happenings on the front lines of culture and what it all means, including the arts, media, social trends, politics and yes, fashion, all told with personality and deep reporting.

Very few things actually matter, we’re all just floating on a rock in space, and we will all eventually cease to exist, so find amusement where you can with your limited time on this mortal plane, whether it’s in men throwing a ball around or celebrities living their best lives or, in this case, both. Does that make it more meaningless, or less? Who cares! Which brings us to this Sunday. Who will be waiting in the box when Swift gets whisked off her private jet from Tokyo into Las Vegas’s Allegiant Stadium? Her parents, probably. Her frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff doesn’t seem like the sporting type. Zoë Kravitz is probably too cool for football. Maybe Selena Gomez? She seems like a fun person to drink a beer and yell with. Model/actress Cara Delevingne went to the Super Bowl last year, so maybe she’s down for a second time. Maybe Swift will shock fans everywhere and bring former bestie Karlie Kloss, who hails from St. Louis, a city that is, like the Chiefs’ home stadium, in Missouri. (This is, admittedly, a long shot). Either way, we’ll be watching. Here’s an (incomplete!) rundown of the notable plus-ones from this past season of Swiftball — they’re all winners. Sharp. Witty. Thoughtful. Sign up for the Style Memo newsletter. 1. DONNA KELCE: The fact that Swift was sitting with Kelce’s mom early on in the hard launch of this relationship was a sign that things were serious. Mama Kelce has since become a certified Swiftie, featuring her music and photos of the singer across her own social media platforms. Obviously, they’ll be rooting for the Chiefs together Sunday. 2. BRITTANY MAHOMES: Married to Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Brittany seems to have become fast friends with Swift. The two have been spotted hugging during big moments at various games, and Swift has also invited her out for recent girls’ nights with celeb friends including Gomez and Sophie Turner. Advertisement Story continues below advertisement 3. ASHLEY AVIGNONE: A stylist, Avignone’s childhood friend Emma Stone reportedly introduced her to Swift. She also attended one of Swift’s legendary Fourth of July parties. (Not pictured, but present) ALANA HAIM: The youngest of the Haim sisters, who have long been in Swift’s inner circle and are often pictured at her parties. Haim and Swift collaborated on the song “No Body, No Crime” on her album “Evermore,” and the trio appeared in her music video for “Bejeweled.” The band also opened for some of the shows in the Eras tour. They’re fun! 4. SABRINA CARPENTER: A former Disney Channel child actress turned singer, Carpenter opened for Swift on various stops of the Eras tour. Story continues below advertisement 5-6. BLAKE LIVELY AND RYAN REYNOLDS: Longtime members of Swift’s inner circle. So close that she even included their daughters’ names — Betty, James, Inez — in songs on her 2020 album “Folklore.” Advertisement 7. ROBIN LIVELY: Blake’s much older half sister is also an actress — she’s known for her roles in 1989’s “Teen Witch” and “The Karate Kid Part III” Share this articleShare 8. HUGH JACKMAN: Longtime friend of Reynolds, recent friend of Swift. She has been spotted elsewhere with Jackman, Reynolds and “Deadpool 3” director Shawn Levy, spurring rumors that she may make a cameo in the upcoming Marvel film. (Levy also attended the Oct. 1 game with Jackman.) 9. ANTONI POROWSKI: Along with the rest of the “Queer Eye” gang, Porowski made a cameo in the music video for Swift’s 2019 single “You Need to Calm Down,” and has (along with his friend Gigi Hadid) been a fixture at her parties in recent years. Story continues below advertisement (Not pictured — maybe they were in the bathroom??) SOPHIE TURNER: In the midst of a messy divorce with singer Joe Jonas — who dated Swift way back in 2008 — the “Game of Thrones” actress has been spending a lot of time with her friend. Swift has reportedly let Turner live in her New York apartment while she works out her custody dispute with Jonas. OLIVIA DEJONGE: The Australian actress, who played Priscilla Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis,” is friends with Swift through Turner. 10. ROSS TRAVIS: A longtime friend of Kelce and a former Chiefs player, Travis is often there to cheer on his pal. On Instagram, he goes by “Boss Travis.” Advertisement 11. ARIC JONES: Another Kelce friend. The pair reportedly met as kids growing up in Ohio. At one point, he even ran a company that specialized in Kelce merchandise. Story continues below advertisement 12. KELEIGH TELLER: She appeared, along with her actor husband Miles Teller, in Swift’s 2021 music video for “I Bet You Think About Me” and popped up at various stops of the Eras tour. Teller attended the Chiefs-Ravens game Jan. 28 with Swift. 13. CARA DELEVINGNE: A longtime Swift squad member dating back to their mutual appearances at the 2013 Victoria’s Secret fashion show. Delevigne recently told E! that she is “So, so happy” about Swift’s new romance. “There’s definitely something very different about them.” 14. SANTA CLAUS: Okay, fine, this is not actually Kriss Kringle. It’s Swift’s younger brother, Austin, in festive attire for the Christmas Day game against the Raiders. Austin Swift has attended multiple games with his sister and has sometimes brought his girlfriend, model Sydney Ness. Merry Swiftmas!
