It's been four months since Blake Lively last joined Taylor Swift at one of Travis Kelce's football games, and we've definitely missed seeing them together.
There was always something special about all those fun moments between Swift and her buddy Brittany Mahomes, but there's just something about seeing best friends together that hits differently.
So, on February 11, 2024, Swifties were understandably thrilled to see Taylor Swift arrive at the 2024 Super Bowl with Blake Lively and their 'Karma' collaborator Ice Spice.
Swift and Lively were spotted at Allegiant Stadium sporting semi-coordinated red looks. Swift topped off her 'Reputation black fit' with a red WEAR by Erin Andrews Chiefs jacket, while Blake went full-on super fan with a red and white bomber.
Of course, fans didn't have to wait long to witness a viral moment between the duo. Taylor Swift and Blake Lively were seen embracing and dancing to the rhythm of Post Malone's 'America the Beautiful' before having a hilarious reaction to seeing themselves on the stadium's giant screen. Swift, a big fan of Post Malone, who featured on the first song of her upcoming album, 'The Tortured Poets Department,' was clearly enjoying herself.
It's evident that Taylor Swift isn't bothered by all the discourse surrounding her appearance at the NFL. "I don't know if they're going to show me 17 times or one," the singer told Time in her interview as Person of the Year, published in December 2023. "I'm just there to support Travis. I'm not aware if they're showing me too much and upsetting a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”
She continued, "When you say a relationship is public, that means I'm going to watch him do what he loves, that we're showing each other off, that there are other people there, and we don't care. The opposite is that you have to work really hard so no one knows you're dating someone. And we're proud of each other."
With three championships in five years, four years after the Kansas City Chiefs triumphed over the San Francisco 49ers, both teams met again in Super Bowl 58.
The first half ended 10-3 in favor of the 49ers, who opened the scoring with a field goal and then achieved a touchdown with an extra kick. In a game full of twists and turns, regulation time ended with a tie at 19-19 and spilled into overtime, in which the 49ers took the lead 22-19 with a field goal; however, the Chiefs eventually scored their decisive game-winning touchdown (25-22). Quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, last year's champions, became the first team in 19 years to win two consecutive titles.
The Chiefs not only retained the Vince Lombardi Trophy, but also solidified themselves as the new great dynasty of American sports with three championships in five years, something that no one had achieved since Tom Brady's Patriots. Facing them were the San Francisco 49ers with their quarterback Brock Purdy at the helm, who was chosen in the last pick of the 2022 draft, earning him the nickname Mr. Irrelevant.
The Californians sought to win their first Super Bowl title in 29 years. In addition to the game, the event included a halftime concert by Usher, an eight-time Grammy award-winning singer with over 80 million albums sold. The artist competed for media attention with Taylor Swift, who attended the final to see her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, a player for the Chiefs, amidst absurd conspiracy theories about her political support for Joe Biden.
