Taylor Swift was absent from Monday night's Emmy Awards as she watched husband Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs open their 2026 NFL season with a 31-10 victory over the Denver Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
Swift was seen in a private suite alongside actor Tom Cruise as Kelce began his 14th NFL season. Her appearance came on the same night as the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles, where her concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour – The Final Show, had been nominated. The Emmys took place at the Peacock Theater on Sept. 14.
