Stéfanie Collineswho cheered for the Chiefs through 2023, shared the recent TikTok — which is now circulating online, several months after posting the clip — that Swift, after the game, would still “meet Travis near (her) locker room” at Arrowhead Stadium.
“All these photos of his gameday outfits walking through the red tunnels at Arrowhead are right next to the players’ locker room, which is right next to the Chiefs cheering locker room, and there were so many close encounters,” Hills said, recalling how she and her fellow cheerleaders waited “a really long time” outside the locker room to have their photo taken with Swift.
When Hills first learned that Swift and Kelce, both 35, were an item, she couldn’t believe it.

“My first thoughts were, ‘There’s no way Taylor Swift is dating Travis Kelce.’ It must be a publicity stunt,'” she recalled in her September 2024 video. “We’re talking about the same Travis Kelce who, a little less than 10 years ago, had his own dating show where he dated with a woman from each state in the United States. …You can see why I was a little confused.

“Which she can’t control and I’m sure she would prefer not to be shown 24/7,” Hills said. “Personally, if I’m at a Chiefs game drinking, I’m like, don’t point a camera at me. Like, that would really upset me.
She added: “Because Chiefs games get loud. »
