Travis Kelce suffered an ankle injury during the Kansas City Chiefs' 27-20 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Taylor Swift, who was in attendance at the team's last two games, wasn't present. Despite the injury, Kelce returned to the field to catch a touchdown pass.
“In case you’re wondering, seven words I never thought would leave my lips in my career: Taylor Swift is not at the game,” Jim Nantz announced during the game. “That’s a first. I’ve never said that before. There’s some brokenhearted people I just saw in the stands.”
