It’s no secret that Taylor Swift likes to support her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. But fans and haters alike couldn’t help but take notice of her dedication when she attended a recent game in record low temperatures. We’re talking cold: -4 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 degrees Celsius) with a -28-degree windchill (-33 degrees Celsius).
The fourth coldest game in NFL history and coldest in the Chief’s Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, conditions were so frigid that people’s beers were freezing.
The camera even caught coach Andy Reid’s mustache covered with icicles, and Patrick Mahomes’s helmet literally cracked it got so cold.
Not that that stopped the fans from showing up in style… including one that somehow went shirtless.
However, it was the temperature’s effect on the windows that really caught people’s attention. Booths fogged and iced over in dramatic fashion, including the one where Taylor Swift was photographed peering out through the frozen glass.
The result? A meme gold mine.
