Chariah Gordon Supports ‘Sister’ Taylor Swift at ‘Eras Tour’ Show
Taylor Swift is slowly turning all of Chiefs Kingdom into Swifties, including her new game-day pal Chariah Gordon.
Gordon, who is engaged to Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr., attended Swift’s Friday, November 1, concert in Indianapolis.
“Go sister!!!!!” Gordon, who also wore Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department merch to the airport, wrote via Instagram Story on Friday, alongside footage of the pop star performing her Lover hits onstage.
Gordon watched the concert from Lucas Oil Stadium’s VIP section, bopping along to Swift’s biggest hits. Rocking a chic denim jacket, Gordon also shared Instagram Story videos of herself singing along to “You Belong With Me” and “Shake It Off.”
Swift, 34, first bonded with Gordon in late 2023 after the Grammy winner started dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The pair made their public debut at one of Kelce’s games that September, posing for post-victory pics with Gordon and Hardman, 26. The photos broke the internet because Swift gave Kelce, 35, a sweet kiss on the cheek and publicly solidified their romantic status.
As Swift and Kelce hit their one-year anniversary earlier this year, she continued attending home games while on hiatus from Eras shows. Gordon joined her in a private box at many of the outings.
“This is an exclusive interview with Chariah after the game. How are you feeling?” Swift asked Gordon in an Instagram Story video after the Chiefs won their season opener in September.
Gordon proclaimed that she was “feeling good” before turning the tables on Swift.
“How are you feeling, Sissypop?” Gordon asked, to which Swift gushed that she was “feeling fantastic.”
Swift once again pretended to interview Gordon after the Chiefs victory on October 7.
“I think we feel really good,” Gordon said in another Story video. “We’re 5 and 0 going into a bye week. It is perfect.”
Swift then chimed in, adding, “Perfect is the word. … Sorry, for photobombing myself.” (Swift and Gordon were standing in front of a framed Eras Tour poster, which proudly hangs beside an NFL photo of Kelce in his private box at KC’s Arrowhead Stadium.)
Swift notably wasn’t a fan of football until entering into a relationship with Kelce.
“Football is awesome, it turns out,” Swift gushed in her 2023 TIME Person of the Year profile. “I’ve been missing out my whole life.”
Now, she can’t resist cheering on her “guy on the Chiefs” — a tweak she made in her song “Karma” — and drawing up plays.
“She’s a little biased and just creates plays for me, so we’ll see if they can make it to Coach [Andy] Reid’s office,” Kelce teased on The Rich Eisen Show in September.
Kelce’s Chiefs, who are currently undefeated, next play a home game on Monday, November 4. It is currently unknown whether Swift will attend, but she will complete her run of three Eras Shows in Indiana the night before.
