Will Taylor Swift be in Cleveland this weekend? 13 reasons why she could be there
It's the end of an era. But for those who have spent the past few days searching for life's meaning in a post-Eras Tour world, you may have a chance to catch Taylor Swift once more in northeast Ohio.
As the Kansas City Chiefs make their way to Huntington Bank Field for a faceoff with the Cleveland Browns , the "Lover" girl now has a free schedule to support her football tight-end boyfriend, Travis Kelce , in his last few games of the year.
So long as there's no "Bad Blood" for the Eras Tour missing Cleveland, the likelihood of her attending seems pretty favorable to fans in the area.
Will Taylor Swift be in attendance? Here are 13 reasons why she could make an appearance in Cleveland.
1. It's Kelce's hometown
Just 17 miles west of downtown Cleveland, Westlake is where Kelce is from. He also attended Cleveland Heights High School and has family and friends still in the area. This may give the legendary pop star more reasons to visit.
2. Cleveland is close to Swift's home state
The native of West Reading, Pennsylvania, may want to visit her own hometown in her free time, which is just an hour flight away from Cleveland, making it an easy trip before or after the game.
3. The Eras Tour has ended
The star's record-breaking Eras Tour that kicked off in March 2023 came to an end Dec. 8 in Vancouver. Swift may want to rebuild her "Reputation" as a consistent audience member to the Chiefs' games. Not to mention, the team performs better when their good luck charm is in attendance.
4. It's her birthday weekend
Swift turned 35 on Friday and may want to spend her birthday weekend with her boyfriend.
5. Swift did not stop in Cleveland for the Eras Tour
Despite upwards of 60,000 fans who attended the July 2018 "Reputation" tour show, Cleveland missed out on a tour stop during the Eras Tour. She could make up for this with a visit to Sunday's game.
6. This would be the first away game she attends this season
This season, Swift has only attended Kelce's home games due to conflicting schedules. Kelce has been able to attend a little over a dozen of Swift's shows on her two-year tour; she may try to make time for more of his games.
7. Cleveland is known for some of her favorite comfort food
The star is known for her love for comfort foods including classic sandwiches, burgers and fries and also dumplings. Thankfully, Cleveland is famous for its eastern European pierogi and sausage sandwiches topped with fries, the Polish Boy.
8. This is only Kelce's second time playing in Cleveland
Despite being native, Kelce discussed on the Wednesday episode of his podcast, "New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce," that this would be his second time playing in Cleveland and even offered recommendations for spending 36 hours in the city.
9. The city could be teasing her arrival
A Facebook group of Cleveland-owned businesses named Coventry Village announced the city will close the street from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Saturday for reasons including the potential celebrity arrival.
10. Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is nearby
East of the stadium is where Swift's birthday will be celebrated at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's "A Taylor Swift Holiday Celebration." on Dec. 14. The museum also contains a collection of artifacts from the pop star's most popular music videos. She may want to stop by.
11. The Chiefs vs. Browns game is in the afternoon
The game will start at 1 p.m., lasting a little more than three hours. This gives the burned-out legendary artist enough time to rest before and after.
12. Ohio is full of Swifties
Ohio is ranked in the Top 10 of most fan-obsessed states, according to Google search data . There's no doubt the city will offer her a warm welcome.
13. Because she can!
She's a billionaire with a private jet. What can't she do?
