Taylor Swift’s mom had her own moment in the spotlight during the Chiefs’ Week 9 win over the Jets.
Andrea Swift was at the game with Taylor Swift, and she showed up in a shirt that read, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs.” The phrase was a clear nod to Taylor Swift’s lyric change on “Karma” during the Eras Tour.
The photo of the two showed them both looking thrilled, though it’s not known exactly when it was taken. Given Travis Kelce’s performance, it likely came after one of his big plays.
Kelce led Kansas City’s receiving attack in the win, finishing with four catches for 72 yards. One of those grabs went for 38 yards.
He also found the end zone, though the score went down as a rushing touchdown. It was his first trip to the end zone since Week 3.
He’s been rolling lately. In Week 8, Kelce had five receptions for 67 yards in the Chiefs’ loss to the Broncos, and he’s now on pace to top 1,000 receiving yards for the first time since 2022.
Kansas City needed the bounce-back after dropping back-to-back games coming out of the bye against the Seahawks and Broncos. The Chiefs got back on track in Week 9, while Patrick Mahomes dealt with an injury scare on a strip sack and still finished with 242 yards and two touchdown passes.
There was plenty happening on the other sideline too. Kenneth Walker III turned in a strong outing, rushing for 102 yards and adding four catches for 41 yards and two touchdowns.
The Chiefs now head to Atlanta in Week 10 before returning home to face the Cardinals the next week. After that comes a Thanksgiving matchup with the Bills. At 6-2, Kansas City remains in second place in the AFC West after last week’s loss to Denver.

Travis Kelce Had An Immediate Reaction To Chiefs WR Move
The Chiefs added another receiving option to their offense, landing Josh Downs from the Colts in a deal that sends Kansas City a package of future draft picks. Downs arrives with some production already on his rsum, having caught 33 passes for 354 yards and a touchdown in nine games before the move, and the timing of the trade made it a natural topic when Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce were talking on their podcast.
Travis Kelces reaction came right away as the news broke in real time, giving Chiefs fans an instant glimpse at how one of the teams most important voices views the move. For Kansas City, the trade is another sign the front office is still looking for ways to keep the passing game fresh, and Downs now steps into a receiver room where every new piece gets a close look.

Chiefs Rookie Class Is Starting To Look Like A Massive Draft Win
The Chiefs decision to move up to No. 6 for Mansoor Delane is already looking like the kind of draft gamble that can reshape a class. Even with three games missed because of a shoulder injury, the rookie corner has been one of the more encouraging young pieces in Kansas City, giving the defense immediate value from a pick that came with plenty of expectation attached.
Delane is not the only first-year player helping the Chiefs feel better about the haul. Running back Emmett Johnson and several other rookies have also drawn notice for their early-season contributions, giving Kansas City a rookie group that has done more than just fill out the depth chart. For a team always chasing edges, that kind of early return can matter just as much as the headline move that brought Delane to town. [Read more 🡒]
Chiefs Suddenly Have A Return Game Question Fans Didn't Expect
The Chiefs made a roster move for Josh Downs that came with a wrinkle on special teams, parting ways with defensive end Jack Pyburn and returner Nikko Remigio to clear space for the receiver they acquired from the Colts. Pyburn had not seen the field since joining Kansas City, but Remigio was a more notable cut because he had been handling the teams return duties and had recently been contributing in that role.
Kansas City could still try to bring both players back on the practice squad, which would soften the blow if they clear waivers. Even so, Remigios release leaves an immediate question for a team that has leaned on stability in the return game, and it is the kind of move that can ripple beyond the headline trade if the Chiefs do not have a clean answer lined up.
