When the Kansas City Chiefs play the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 18, the game could have a lot more meaning than two non-playoff teams playing their final games of the season. The game could be tight end Travis Kelce's final game of his career. The game is also going to be played in Vegas, and that's important.
What music fans want to know is whether Taylor Swift will be at the game. The pop queen hasn't gone to any away games during the 2025 season, and if she makes an appearance to watch the Chiefs and Raiders game, that could imply Kelce has decided his future.
After all, if he is indeed playing his last game, why wouldn't Swift be there? The contest would be bound to be emotional for the player, and having his fiancée there would likely be important.
Will Taylor Swift watch Travis Kelce play his final game when the Chiefs play the Raiders?
Of course, if Taylor Swift isn't at the game, that doesn't mean Kelce won't retire. The couple might have discussed the options before Week 18 and decided that the tight end should go it alone and enjoy the experience with his teammates instead of having the attention Swift would naturally draw take away the weight of the situation.
No official announcement will be made about whether Swift will be at the game. That could always be a dangerous scenario because wherever she goes, added security is needed. Kelce, Swift, or the Chiefs are going to say she will be at the game long before kickoff because the general public simply doesn't need to know that information.
Based on how the season has gone so far, one would logically assume that Swift won't be at the game since she hasn't attended any games away from Arrowhead Stadium. Still, a the game could be Travis Kelce's final game ever, she might appear.
For those who want to watch the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Las Vegas Raiders, the game will be played on Sunday, January 4, with kickoff expected at 1:25 pm PT (4:25 pm ET). CBS will broadcast the contest from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, and the broadcast crew will feature Chris Lewis on play-by-play, Kyle Long as the analyst, and Tiffany Blackmon as the sideline reporter.
Of note, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are rumored to be getting married on June 13. That date doesn't imply whether Kelce will retire or not. It is well before the 2026 NFL season, and before training camp begins for teams.
