We’ve almost made it to another Friday, readers, but before we can begin another weekend, we’re excited to watch another game of Thursday Night Football this evening. The NFL season has been quite eventful so far, starting with Aaron Rodgers tearing his Achilles in the first week and continuing on with star-studded games attended by Taylor Swift. Of course, celebrity gossip and music fans are all in on her budding romance with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and we can’t wait to see where that relationship goes.

If you’ve been tuning in to Chiefs games now just to see if the Grammy-winning artist will be there, we don’t blame you! It’s so fun when sports and entertainment collide. You’ll also be in luck tonight because the Chiefs are playing Thursday Night Football! But will Taylor be there? We have great news on that front!

How to watch Thursday Night Football game tonight

The Kansas City Chiefs will take on the Denver Broncos this evening for Thursday Night Football at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. The game will begin at 8:15 p.m. ET, and you can expect it to stream live on Amazon Prime Video. Remember, all Thursday Night Football games are now exclusively streamed on the streaming service. That means you won’t be able to find it on any broadcast channels.

Heading into tonight’s game, the Chiefs are 4-1, while the Broncos are 1-4. You might suspect it’ll be an easy game for Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, but with the NFL, anything goes!

Taylor Swift is expected to attend Chiefs vs Broncos game

The question on many people’s minds heading into tonight’s Thursday Night Football game is whether or not Taylor Swift will show up. While she did attend two Sunday Night Football games to watch the Chiefs play, she was notably absent when they last played on Sunday, Oct. 8. Granted, though, it wasn’t a primetime game.

Well, according to a report from TMZ this week, Taylor is expected to attend the game this evening at Arrowhead Stadium. That said, Travis might not even play because of the ankle injury he suffered last weekend. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that the tight end is able to make it onto the field tonight and we’ll see Taylor cheering him on from the box seats! We’ll be curious to see which famous friends she brings along with her this time, or if she’ll just be chilling with Mama Kelce. Any of these options would be great company, I’m sure.

Taylor and Travis’ budding relationship has been a whirlwind for Swifties. It all started in September when it was reported that the two celebs were allegedly starting to hang out, followed by Travis publicly inviting the singer to Arrowhead while a guest on The Pat McAfee Show. Clearly, Taylor accepted that invitation and the pair has been seen leaving games together as well as hanging out afterwards. Taylor is also said to have formed a friendship with Patrick Mahomes’ wife Brittany, which we love.

Taylor all but broke the internet when she attended the Chiefs vs. Jets game in New Jersey on Oct. 1, bringing along big-name celebs like Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Sophie Turner, Sabrina Carpenter, and others. Social media was so fun that night.

Taylor is just coming off the premiere of her Eras Tour concert film last night in Los Angeles, where she posed on the red carpet with Beyoncé and other celebs. It’s a busy week for the singer, but when is it not?!

Let’s hope tonight’s Thursday Night Football game is another one for the books.
