Taylor Swift, 36, skipped the Emmys to attend a Kansas City Chiefs game alongside her husband, Travis Kelce, and actor Tom Cruise, 64, on September 11, 2023. At the game, Swift was seen cheering passionately for Kelce's team while sitting in a VIP suite with her mother Andrea Swift, Kelce’s family, and Tom Cruise. Despite some fans speculating that she was upset at being shown on camera, others argued that she was encouraging Kelce to catch passes by yelling, "Oh he’s open, oh he’s open, get off of him."

At the post-game press conference, Tom Cruise praised Taylor Swift's football knowledge, calling her a "genius" for how quickly she learned about the sport.
