Kamala Harris will be left with a blank space at her closing rally in Pennsylvania tonight after Taylor Swift arrived to watch Travis Kelce play for the Chiefs instead.
Swift, who publicly endorsed Harris for president back in September, waltzed into Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City wearing a black, red and gold leather Chiefs jacket to confirm she is picking her boyfriend over the Democratic nominee.
Many had been speculating over the pop megastar appearing at the rally on Monday night to ramp up support for Harris and the Democrats ahead of Tuesday’s all-important election.
However, on Sunday it emerged that she was not listed to perform as a musical guest in Pennsylvania, which all but suggested she would not be attending given Kelce and the Chiefs are facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the very same night.
And as expected, Swift arrived at Arrowhead roughly an hour before kickoff after opting to shake off Harris and cheer on her man from the stands instead.
Mother Andrea could also be seen by her side as the pair hopped on a cart and were driven to the entrance for their private suite.
They then took their seat alongside Kelce’s mom Donna, with Swift sandwiching herself in between the two mothers while watching the game.
The Chiefs are looking to continue their flawless start to the season against the Buccaneers (4-4) after winning seven out of seven so far.
Swift has attended all three Kansas City home games at Arrowhead this term, finding time in the midst of her busy Eras Tour schedule to support Travis from the stands.
The songstress wrapped up the last of her shows in Indianapolis on Sunday, meaning she was free to attend Monday night’s clash with Tampa Bay.
One X user pointed out that on Friday, Swift’s nails were already painted in the Chiefs’ signature colors of red and gold as she performed on stage – signaling that she would be in attendance for the team’s matchup vs. the Bucs.
After staging three shows in Indianapolis over the weekend, she is not due to perform again until November 14 in Toronto.
Swift and many other Democrat voters will be holding their breath on Tuesday as America finally decides its next president.

Kelce arrived at Arrowhead earlier in the night wearing a khaki jacket and black leather pants
She threw her support behind Harris in a passionate Instagram post earlier this year, saying: ‘I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election.
‘I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.
‘I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.’
In a reference to Trump’s running mate JD Vance, she concluded the post by writing: ‘With love and hope, Taylor Swift – Childless Cat Lady’.
Harris, who has served as Joe Biden’s vice president for almost four years, will make one final plea to the country at her closing rally on Monday night.
The VP spent all of Monday in Pennsylvania, the largest prize among the states expected to determine the Electoral College outcome.
‘We need everyone in Pennsylvania to vote,’ she said. ‘You are going to make the difference in this election.’
In addition to Allentown, Harris visited Scranton – the birthplace of Biden – and had a stop planned in Reading before ending with a late-night Philadelphia rally that was to include Lady Gaga and Oprah Winfrey.
‘Are you ready to do this?’ Harris yelled Monday in Scranton, with a large handmade ‘VOTE FOR FREEDOM’ sign behind her and a similar ‘VOTE’ banner to her side.
Trump, meanwhile, went first to North Carolina before visiting Reading. He will also head to Pittsburgh, at the opposite end of the state, before concluding in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he is set to hold his last campaign rally in the same place he concluded his 2016 and 2020 runs.
