Will Taylor Swift attend Vikings-Chiefs? The speculation has already started
After attending the Kansas City Chiefs' home win over the Chicago Bears, it was confirmed Wednesday that Taylor Swift will also watch the Chiefs play against the Jets in New Jersey this Sunday. Now the question is, will she be in Minneapolis on Oct. 8?
The pop megastar, who is apparently dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, will be at MetLife Stadium to watch the Chiefs beat the Jets (let's face it), after which Kansas City are scheduled to play none other than your Minnesota Vikings.
Her budding romance with Kelce has resulted in a titanic collision between the music-celebrity industrial complex and the NFL, leaving media outlets foaming at the mouth with the content possibilities.
And we're no better than any of them.
We're still 10 days out from the Chiefs' visit to U.S. Bank Stadium and there's no suggestion at this stage that Swift will make the trip to MSP, considering she'll have already spent consecutive weekends watching Kelce in Kansas City and New Jersey respectively.
Still, that hasn't stopped the speculation from getting underway well in advance.
We thought we'd get a jump on the competition but holy wow we just found out FOX 9, the Twin Cities' FOX affiliate, had a story published the day after Chiefs-Bears, mainlining that sweet, sweet SEO as they discussed the potential of Swift's presence in Minneapolis.
Wednesday's edition of Skor North's Purple Daily featured a "Write That Down" prediction from Declan Goff that Swift WILL make the journey.

Taylor Swift will naturally have some fond memories of U.S. Bank Stadium, playing two nights in the arena to sellout crowds earlier this year.
She famously gave a rendition of her little-performed "Dear John," the performance of which she later released as a recording.
The screams from the crowds that erupted on those two nights in June would likely rival any Vikings touchdown celebration – here's just hoping she'll witness some of those in the event she does attend on October 8.
