Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce jointly played Santa for his Kansas City Chiefs teammates.
Sheawna Weathersby, who is the partner of Chiefs athlete Chris Jones, showed off a special present from the 35-year-old pop star via her Instagram Story on Wednesday, December 25.
“So blessed and grateful this holiday season,” Weathersby wrote. “Thank you, Tay Tay!!”
Swift and Kelce’s package included a Santa-themed gift bag and a box wrapped in red rose paper. There was also a “Louis 200” box from Louis Vuitton.
“Merry Christmas She She and Chris,” a gift tag read, which was signed by “Travis and Taylor.” A separate tag was addressed solely to “She She” from “Tay Tay.”
Jones, who shares two sons with Weathersby, is one of Kelce’s teammates on the Chiefs. Swift has often invited Weathersby, alongside fellow NFL partner Chariah Gordon, to watch home games from a private suite.
Neither Swift nor Weathersby attended Wednesday’s away game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. (Jones, 30, was out on injured reserve and did not play but still traveled with his teammates.)
“Every time you play the Steelers, you know it’s going to be a fight,” Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said in a Netflix interview earlier on Wednesday. “They’re gonna give you your best shot every single time — and it’s a great football team. That’s why they’re in the position that they’re in. It’ll be a great game, we’ll be in a great environment in Pittsburgh and I’m excited for it.”
While Weathersby has been a devoted member of Chiefs Kingdom for many years in support of Jones, Swift only just started to appreciate the squad.
“Football is awesome, it turns out,” Swift said in her 2023 TIME Person of the Year profile. “I’ve been missing out my whole life.”
Swift started dating Kelce, 35, in summer 2023, going public with their romance the following September when she went to her first Chiefs game.
“When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” Swift added to the outlet. “The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”
When Swift reps Kelce from the stands, she’s not concerned about being seen on the Jumbotron.
“I don’t know how they know what suite I’m in. There’s a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don’t know where it is, and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once,” Swift stressed at the time. “I’m just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads and Chads.”
Throughout the 2024-2025 NFL season, Swift only attended home games in between her Eras Tour concerts across the globe. After she wrapped the performances earlier this month, Kelce organized a blowout “end of an era” party to celebrate and invited many of his Chiefs teammates and their significant others.
