Swift and Kelce Debut Engagement at Arrowhead With Boos, Backlash and Official Praise

Public reaction now stretches from stadium jeers to political scrutiny over the NFL’s impartiality.

Overview

  • On Aug. 28, the newly engaged pair attended Cincinnati–Nebraska at Arrowhead Stadium, where Swift displayed an Old Mine Cut ring widely reported to have been co-designed with jeweler Kindred Lubeck.
  • A large portion of the crowd booed when the couple appeared on the Jumbotron during the game.
  • The University of Nebraska’s official account deleted a mocking post about Swift after fan outcry following the Cornhuskers’ 20–17 win.
  • Chiefs head coach Andy Reid publicly congratulated the couple, saying he is happy for them and praising how they handle their high-profile lives.
  • Vice President J.D. Vance said he hopes the NFL does not favor the Chiefs because of Kelce’s engagement to a globally famous entertainer.
