The Kansas City Chiefs' AFC West slate of the schedule is getting underway, as Andy Reid's team is taking on the Denver Broncos in a Week 6 battle. Once again, there's a special guest in attendance to watch Travis Kelce play at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium: superstar singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. Swift, again, is sitting with Kelce's mother Donna.

This marks the third time Swift has been at a Chiefs game this season, as she also attended the team's Week 3 home outing against the Chicago Bears on Sept. 24 and was in the house for the following week's contest at MetLife Stadium versus the New York Jets. Swift coming to Kansas City for the Bears game was the iconic moment that sparked even more speculation about her and Kelce's rumored romance, which has since taken the NFL and pop culture worlds by storm.

On Wednesday night, TMZ reported that Swift was tracking to be in Kansas City for Chiefs-Broncos. Even with Kelce being questionable during the week with an ankle sprain suffered last Sunday, he was adamant that he'd be active for Week 6 despite the quick turnaround. He's indeed active, paving the way for everyone — including Swift — to watch him play.

In the aftermath of Swift's first time at a Chiefs game, Kelce's already stellar popularity went through the roof. Not only did he see a 300,000-plus increase in social media followers, but his jersey sales also spiked nearly 400% and launched him into one of the top five rankings among all NFL players. A staggering 24.3 million viewers of the aforementioned Bears game set the pace for the most-watched telecast of the week, with plenty of those TV spectators stemming from the Kelce-Swift development.

Last week, Kelce spoke to the media about what his life is like now that Swift is in the picture. Facing a ton of added attention and even paparazzi near his home, the 34-year-old described himself as "good about compartmentalizing" and using the Chiefs facility as a place for him to find peace to focus on the task at hand.

"We're learning with the paparazzi just taking photos from all over the place," Kelce said. "But at the same time, it comes with it. You've got a lot of people that care about Taylor, and for good reason. Just got to keep living and learning and enjoying the moments. At the end of the day, I've always been pretty good about compartmentalizing and being able to stay focused in this building. I'll just keep rolling with that, man."
