Kansas City Chiefs star Kelce, 33, helped Swift, also 33, out the back of an SUV.

The pair were then pictured holding hands as they headed into the event.

It was the first public display of affection between the pair after months of rumors about a romance.

Swift was at Kelce’s NFL game again on Thursday night at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.

She watched Kelce put on a masterclass in a 19-8 win over the Denver Broncos alongside his mom Donna.

Taylor also seemed to have struck up a friendship with Patrick Mahomes’ wife Brittany.

The music mega star first attended a Chiefs game a few weeks back when they brushed aside the Chicago Bears.

Swift sat next to Kelce’s mom on that occasion as well, and the pair were seen leaving the stadium together.

Kelce and Swift rode off in his convertible car after the win on September 24.

Swift then turned up to the Chiefs’ game the following weekend at MetLife Stadium in New York.

She watched Kelce and Co beat the New York Jets and was the center of attention on the NBC television broadcast.

Since Swift first began watching the Chiefs on September 24, Kelce and Chiefs merchandise sales have skyrocketed 400 per cent.
