Minnesota football fanatics are ready for their beloved Vikings to take on the Chiefs – with many excitedly waiting to hear if Taylor Swift will show up for the third straight game to support new beau Travis Kelce.
The star stole the show during Kelce’s latest outings, fueling fervent speculation about whether she will make the trip to the Midwest on Sunday night.
Swift’s camp has given little indication as to whether she will attend, a fact that hasn’t stopped her legion of fans from turning out for the big game.
The Anderson family, who were waiting outside the team hotel hoping to catch an early glimpse of Kelce and Mahomes, were at Arrowhead Stadium when Taylor Swift showed up two weeks ago.
“There was a huge buzz,” Dan Anderson, 40, said.

“We were sitting right under Mahomes’ suite… a lot of people weren’t really watching the game, they were just watching what she was doing.
“I think (the relationship) is just fun. I guess I don’t follow it as closely as my wife does now.”
“It’s going to be fun to see where it goes and how many games she goes to,” Chelsea Anderson, 40, added, saying she hopes the romance is “true love.”
“The city is so excited about it, everyone talks about it all the time when you bring up the Chiefs.”
She said the moment Taylor Swift showed up at Arrowhead was “really exciting,” adding that as soon as word spread that she was in the building, “everyone was trying to find her.”
The family, including sons Eli and Owen, drove up from Leawood, Kansas, as a special 11th birthday gift for Owen, who predicted a huge Chiefs win and a Kelce touchdown.
While some locals have expressed frustration in recent weeks over Swift’s rise as a figurehead in football, Minnesota businesses were more than happy to have the circus come to town.

“I’m a big Vikings fan, but I had to do this for the Swifties,” owner Teara Myers told DailyMail.com.
She said a social media post featuring the parody cookies quickly racked up tens of thousands of clicks, a wave of sales she attributes to the mania over Swift’s latest romance.
‘I was shocked!’ she said, adding that she “didn’t realize how this would turn out” until customers were using them “all with great pleasure.”
“I hope we don’t have to bake a breakup cookie,” she added.
The bitter football rivalry was also put aside at Hanisch, a coffee shop that joked about a new nickname apparently created for the Kansas City team after Kelce’s affair – with pastries for fans they called the “KC Swifties.”
“Hanisch Bakery and Coffee Shop welcomes all sports fans to Red Wing this weekend, even the new fans of the newly renamed Kansas City Swifties team,” manager Bill Hanisch told DailyMail.com.
“It’s great to see Taylor truly helping a struggling fanbase and shining a bright light on the Kansas City community! Go Taylor’s friend!’
