Taylor Swift's dad, Scott, a known Philadelphia Eagles fan, showed his support for the Kansas City Chiefs at Super Bowl LVIII. He was spotted wearing Chiefs gear in the suite with Taylor and her friends, including Blake Lively and stylist Ashley Avignone.
Swift had made an impressive journey from Tokyo to Las Vegas to attend the Super Bowl. She arrived at Allegiant Stadium two hours before the game, along with her mum Andrea Swift, Blake Lively, Ice Spice and close friend Ashley Avignone.
Scott's NFL allegiance has been a topic of discussion before. Jason Kelce, older brother of Travis Kelce and centre for the Eagles, wasn't too pleased about Mr. Swift's switch earlier this season.
Travis Kelce, the NFL star, took a trip to Argentina during his bye week after the Chiefs' victory over the Miami Dolphins. He was spotted at Taylor Swift's concert in Buenos Aires, hanging out with her dad, Scott, in the VIP area.

However, football fans couldn't help but notice that Scott was wearing a Chiefs lanyard - something that didn't sit well with Jason, Travis' brother.

The Swift family are known Eagles fans, given Taylor's birthplace of West Reading, Pennsylvania, and her upbringing in nearby Wyomissing. Jason voiced his disapproval on 'New Heights', saying: "You're gonna let this man's devilishly good looks and relationship with your daughter sway you from a lifetime of fandom, Scott," Jason quipped. "This is ridiculous."
Travis responded with a laugh, saying: "Got him over to the good side, baby."
Now it seems that Scott - and perhaps even Taylor herself - are permanent Chiefs fans, hoping to see Travis and his team lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
