Taylor Swift arrived in Foxborough Sunday afternoon to watch the Patriots match up with the Kansas City Chiefs at Gillette Stadium.

Before the game, the artist, who is dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, was seen getting out of a car wearing what appeared to be a Chiefs hat, according to NESN’s George Balekji.

NBC Sports Boston also captured video of Kelce looking up at a poster of Swift inside the stadium.

Once the game began Swift was shown on Gillette Stadium’s new videoboard. The footage of her was accompanied by something she said during a concert at the venue: “Gillette Stadium is the most joyful place on earth.”

The Patriots and Chiefs were initially supposed to play this game on Monday night, but the game became the first in NFL history to get flexed out of the spot.

Swift has been spotted at several other Chiefs games this season in support of Kelce. And she’s no stranger to Foxborough. Her concerts during this summer’s Eras Tour had the highest average ticket price in the stadium’s history.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick told WEEI’s The Greg Hill Show earlier this year that he saw one of Swift’s show’s in Foxborough over the summer. Belichick said he was impressed by Swift’s performance, which happened during heavy rain.

“She’s tough, man,” Belichick said. “She just stood out there and played right through it.”

“You Need to Calm Down” is one of Swift’s songs that stood out to Belichick.

“That’s pretty good, like you gotta calm down,” Belichick added. “There’s a lot of times when that’s very appropriate. You’ve just gotta calm down.”

At one point in the third quarter Sunday, with the Chiefs driving deep into Patriots territory, Swift had a strong reaction to a non-call involving boyfriend Kelce, who was pushed to the ground by New England’s Myles Bryant. No penalty was called, and Kansas City would settle for a field goal.

With the Patriots entering Sunday’s game with a 3-10 record and the Chiefs heavily favored, many fans, of course, were in attendance at Gillette Stadium Sunday specifically to see Swift.
