Although Kansas City has had plenty to offer UK travellers for decades – whether that’s world-class BBQ, characterful jazz clubs or craft breweries – it’s hard to deny that a particular spotlight was shone on the city when Taylor Swift started dating Travis Kelce.
NFL fans may roll their eyes at the fact it took Taylor cheering her boyfriend from the sidelines for many of us to sit up and take notice of the home of the Kansas City Chiefs. After all, this is the team that won the Super Bowl in 2020, 2023 and 2024. Plus, Kansas City will be hosting six matches at the 2026 Fifa World Cup; it is home to the Kansas City Royals baseball team; and it boasts the first stadium purpose-built exclusively for a professional women’s soccer team. In many ways, this town is a sports lover’s dream.
