As featured on
Pop superstar Taylor Swift was back at Arrowhead Stadium on Monday night. She sat alongside Tom Cruise while watching new husband Travis Kelce and his Kansas City Chiefs open the NFL season against the Denver Broncos. It’s the first time Swift has seen Kelce play since they were married over the summer. The 14-time Grammy Award-winner decided to skip the Emmy Awards in Los Angeles. Instead, Swift was at the venue where her romance with Kelce began. Kelce tried and failed to deliver her a friendship bracelet as a fan when she performed at Arrowhead Stadium.
The Emmy Awards are underway, with “The Pitt” and “Widow’s Bay” generating buzz for top prizes. The ceremony also honors anniversaries of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Charlie’s Angels.” Mariska Hargitay kicked off the show with a lively pre-taped bit featuring New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson. She sang a parody of “I Love Rock ’n’ Roll” and joked with Nicole Kidman. The Peacock Theater lobby was packed before the show, with guests navigating the chaos. Meg Stalter, a nominee for “Hacks,” dressed as an Emmy statuette, complete with wings and gold makeup.
