Taylor Swift - English
Travis Kelce - English
A case of mistaken identity created unexpected drama at Sporting Kansas City‘s recent match, as fans believed Taylor Swift was in attendance.
Swift, often seen in Kansas City due to her high-profile romance with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, has become a familiar figure in the area. So, when a woman who looked remarkably like the global pop icon appeared in one of the suites, the crowd went wild.
Supporters waved, snapped photos, and even approached the suite hoping for a moment with the ‘Eras Tour’ superstar.
One fan posed for a selfie, unaware that they weren’t meeting the Grammy-winning singer, but instead Kansas City’s official Taylor Swift tribute artist, Kelley Thrasher, known online as “Kelley’s Version.”
A birthday party gone viral
According to Kelley and her friends, the mix-up was entirely unplanned. “We were just there to celebrate our girl @amberleigh.masters birthday,” a friend posted to Instagram.
“But bring Taylor Swift‘s lookalike to an SKC game and suddenly you need security escorts and end up in the stadium’s secret speakeasy with the players after the game.”
The frenzy reportedly got so intense that stadium staff stepped in to manage the growing crowd. Kelley’s resemblance to Swift – from her hairstyle and wardrobe down to her facial features – was convincing enough to cause stadium-wide confusion.
“My kids think I’m the coolest mom ever because I’m ‘friends with Taylor Swift’ – and honestly, I’m not correcting them,” the friend added.
Kelley has been booked for a variety of events, from birthday parties to sports appearances.
Just one day after her viral moment at the soccer match, she appeared in a suite at a Bloomington Bison hockey game and posted: “2 suites in 24 hours. VIP Love Story – but make it sports. Hockey? Soccer? It’s me, hi, I’m the fan, it’s me.”
Earlier this year, she also made an appearance at Arrowhead Stadium, where she posed with fans and even linked up with a faux Andy Reid.
The real Swift and Kelce are enjoying some well-earned downtime
While her doppelgänger entertained crowds back home, the actual Taylor Swift has been keeping a low profile following the end of her record-breaking Eras Tour, which wrapped up in late 2024.
In February, she was present for Super Bowl LVIII in New Orleans, where the Chiefs fell to the Philadelphia Eagles, 40-22. Sources told Page Six that Swift and Kelce are using the NFL offseason and her touring break to spend quality time together.
“Travis will be heading to training camp later this summer and Taylor will eventually need to head back to work, so this is a sliver of time they have all to themselves,” the insider said.
“A lot of their time is spent at home just relaxing. Despite their fame, they’re really just like any other couple. They like to cuddle on the couch and watch movies, play board games, spend time with family, cook dinner together and just hang out.”
Kelce, who briefly considered retirement after the Super Bowl loss, confirmed he will return for a 13th NFL season. In the meantime, it seems Kansas City will have to keep an eye out – you never know when the next “Taylor sighting” might just be someone else entirely.

Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow leaves start before 2nd inning with shoulder discomfort
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow left Sunday's game versus the Pittsburgh Pirates after suffering an apparent injury while warming up for the second inning.Glasnow appeared to feel discomfort in his right arm as he threw his final warmup pitches. Following the second-to-last throw, he stretched out his shoulder and shook his arm out a couple of times. After his last warmup pitch, he appeared to be in pain as he stepped off the mound. (Though he likely would have stepped off anyway while catcher Austin Barnes made a throw to second baseman Enrique Hernández.)The right-hander then left the game and the Dodgers soon announced that Glasnow was feeling right shoulder discomfort.This story will be updated.
Knicks vs. Pistons: Refs admit they missed crucial foul call on Tim Hardaway Jr.’s shot at end of Game 4
Getty Images The Detroit Pistons trailed the New York Knicks by a single point with 11.1 seconds left in Game 4 of their first-round series on Sunday. They put the ball in their best player's hands, but Cade Cunningham missed a midrange jumper over OG Anunoby.Sometimes, that's how it goes. If that were all that happened on the final possession, then Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff would not have been screaming at the officials after the buzzer sounded on their 94-93 loss.Bickerstaff was mad about what happened after Cunningham's miss: There was a scramble for the loose ball, and it bounced to Detroit's Tim Hardaway Jr. in the corner. Hardaway got New York's Josh Hart up in the air with a pump fake, then absorbed contact from Hart as he attempted a 3-pointer. The officials did not call a foul, Hardaway's […]
