When Taylor Swift played a show at Arrowhead Stadium in July, she didn’t speak to Travis Kelce afterwards because she needed to rest her voice.

Five months later, she must be grateful she still has another three weeks until her Eras Tour resumes in Argentina. Otherwise, she would be forgiven for taking another vow of silence after cheering him from the stands in this breathtaking victory for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Complete with a No 87 bracelet on for her beau and a Chiefs sweater, Swift lived every twist and turn of a hard fought 31-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, even unveiling a new celebratory handshake with Brittany Mahomes.

However strong her feelings are for Kelce – and they certainly look to be going from strength to strength as an item – she has definitely been enjoying her football these last few weeks.

But how could she not? Especially here, watching a game like this, where Kelce gave her so much to shout about.

He was magnificent as his team battled hard to record a sixth straight victory on Sunday afternoon in Kansas City sunshine.

He scored a touchdown on the stroke of halftime and in the first half alone had received 143 yards – the highest in his career for a first period. For further context, his quarterback Patrick Mahomes had thrown 321 by the interval. Kelce was everywhere.

It was quite the tribute on National Tight Ends day, which is what the NFL calls every fourth Sunday in October, by the man many consider to be the best ever in the position.

And if that’s so, his ability should be acknowledged and appreciated now, more than ever.

He is in the form of his life and was back to full strength after a 10-day break from his last game which, as well as leaving him to enjoy time with Swift, also allowed him to rest a sprained ankle that needed heavy taping for last Thursday’s victory over Denver Broncos.

Kelce’s four-year, $57m Chiefs contract is up next year. Back in June, he said he knows he is underpaid but is happy to trade that for being on a winning team. You can’t imagine he’ll have the same financial concerns next season.

It is a little less than a month since Swift first appeared here at Arrowhead to see Kelce and the Chiefs beat the Chicago Bears at the end of September. In that time, she’s anointed herself the queen of the Chiefs kingdom as they’ve become the most famous couple in the world but after today, Taylor’s NFL era will be on hold in Kansas City.

The Chiefs head to Denver next Sunday to play the Broncos and attention will fall on if she will be there, too. You’d have to imagine that she will be because after that, the Chiefs’ November 5 game with the Miami Dolphins – four days before her Eras Tour begins again in Buenos Aires – is held in Germany. It’s another seven weeks until we could see Swift back here in Missouri – on December 10 against the Buffalo Bills.

But Sunday belonged to Kelce and his victorious team, despite the attention Swift’s presence inevitably brings.

Kelce recently said that his relationship with Swift has him “even more on top of the world” than when he won the Super Bowl in February.

But the way he and his team are going, he might not have to wait too long before finding out what it’s like to enjoy both at the same time.

There’s a lot of football to play between now and February. But right now, Kelce can do little wrong.
