KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift made their first public appearance since announcing their engagement earlier this week. The couple was spotted at the Nebraska-Cincinnati game held at Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday night.

Kelce, a former Bearcats football player, was seen on the field during warm-ups, sporting a red-and-white striped sweater, before heading up to a suite for the game. He was accompanied by Swift and several others just before the match started.

Earlier in the week, Kelce and Swift made their engagement known via a five-photo joint Instagram post after dating for around two years. The Chiefs did not make Kelce available to the press this week, and Swift’s publicist, Tree Paine, only confirmed that the engagement ring is an old mine brilliant-cut diamond from Kindred Lubeck.

The Chiefs are preparing to play their season-opener against the Chargers next Friday night in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Also present at the game was Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, a close friend of Kelce’s, possibly to witness another No. 15 in action. Nebraska’s quarterback, Dylan Raiola, has drawn comparisons to the three-time Super Bowl MVP, not just for their likeness but also for sharing the same jersey number.

Among the attendees were Kelce’s older brother, Jason Kelce, a former Philadelphia Eagles center who is now involved in television and co-hosts the “New Heights” podcast with Travis, and Chiefs safety Bryan Cook. Both played for Cincinnati.

The event also saw support for the Huskers, as Chiefs defensive backs coach Dave Merritt’s son, Dawson, plays linebacker for Nebraska. Additionally, defensive line coach Terry Bradden has contributed to Kansas City’s five Super Bowl appearances.
