Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs was pulled off the field temporarily during Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings due to an ankle injury.
Kelce injured his right ankle after appearing to slip in the second quarter at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, then went straight to the locker room.
The Chiefs star was then spotted sprinting back onto the field with strapping on his ankle when his new flame Taylor Swift failed to show up despite much expectation.
After being listed as questionable to return, Kelce then took his place back on the field during the third quarter.
After anticipation for her potential arrival built all week, Swift did not show her face at the game being played in Minneapolis on Sunday afternoon.
It wasn’t known whether or not Swift was going to show up in Minnesota to continue her streak of attending Chiefs games to support Kelce.
Yet after she was nowhere to be seen prior to kickoff in Minneapolis, NFL Network reporter Scott Hanson confirmed during Sunday’s game that the pop sensation is not in attendance.
Thousands of fans had flocked to US Bank Stadium to soak up the Swift and Kelce frenzy which has engulfed the NFL in recent weeks.
TV producers for Sunday’s game also appeared to have been preparing for her arrival at the game, with a photo from Kansas City Star photographer Nick Wagner showing stickers reading ‘Tay’ affixed above a certain seat.
