Taylor Swift is reportedly set to attend the Week 4 “Sunday Night Football” showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs (2-1) and New York Jets (1-2).

Swift, the pop music superstar, will be in attendance at MetLife Stadium, one week after she was in Kansas City in support of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The two have been rumored to be dating for weeks and were seen leaving Arrowhead Stadium together after the Chiefs’ 41-10 victory over the Chicago Bears (0-3) in Week 3. Swift watched the game from a suite next to Kelce’s mom.

With Swift in attendance, expect the Swifties to come out in full force for this one, as they did this past Sunday. FOX drew 24.3 million viewers for the telecast of the Chiefs-Bears game, making it the most-watched NFL game of the week. With the Chiefs and Jets being a standalone game in primetime, NBC could be in store for blockbuster ratings.

Travis Kelce receives spike in jersey sales because of Taylor Swift

In addition to the NFL and TV networks, Kelce has felt the Swift effect in full force. Kelce’s No. 87 jersey has seen a 400% increase in sales and he has gained more than 300,000 followers on social media. Kelce now owns a top-5 selling jersey in the NFL after the bump from Swifties across the country.

After the game, head coach Andy Reid jokingly took credit for setting them up.

“You know what? I’ve met her before,” Reid said. “I set them up.”

After drawing a laugh from the room of reporters, Reid quickly walked away before anyone could ask him a follow up question about the relationship.

Admittedly, Reid probably isn’t the reason Kelce and Swift appear to be together. It’s just a lot of fun to think that it’s the case. And it does seem like the two are a pair. At one point in the win over the Chicago Bears, Kelce found the end zone and Swift went crazy to celebrate the score.

After the game, quarterback Patrick Mahomes joked that he knew he had to get Kelce the ball.

“I felt a little bit of pressure,” Mahomes said. “And so I knew I had to get it to Travis. And of course, on a route that Travis, he does his own thing and makes up a route and I throw it to ’em. So, I think he wanted to get in the end zone as much as all the Swifties wanted him to.”
