Scenes from Taylor Swift’s Super Bowl suite: Taylor’s beer chug, Jason Kelce’s big hug

- By Lisa Gutierrez and Pete Grathoff The Kansas City Star (TNS)

During the singing of “America the Beautiful” before the Super Bowl on Sunday, a cheer erupted from the crowd as Taylor Swift appeared on the big screen inside Allegiant Stadium.

She watched the game from a suite at about midfield, right behind the San Francisco 49ers’ side, which gave her a good view of the Chiefs bench — and boyfriend Travis Kelce.

And as she watched the game, the world watched her.

Here’s a taste of what went on in her suite at Allegiant Stadium:

The hug: Before the game, Jason Kelce, Travis Kelce’s brother and Philadelph­ia Eagles center, visited Swift in her suite and hugged her, making every Swiftie in the world swoon.

Kylie and Taylor together again: Kylie Kelce, Jason’s wife, stopped by, too, making this football game a family affair.

Giving thanks?: And then this happened … a guy named Roger Goodell visited Swift.

Wonder if the NFL commission­er thanked her for bringing so much attention (and money) to the league this season?

Shame on him if he didn’t.

Of course, Papa Swift: Swift’s father, Scott Swift, was with her in Tokyo last week wearing a Kansas City Chiefs lanyard around his neck. There was no way the longtime football fan was going to miss this game.

All the parents were there together: Taylor’s mom, Andrea Swift, and Kelce’s parents, Donna Kelce and Ed Kelce.

Ice Spice: Swift’s friend and collaborat­or, who was just with her at the Grammy’s last weekend, came to her first Chiefs game of the season. What a game to start with.

Video of the rapper entering the stadium with Swift and actress Blake Lively went viral.

Lana Del Rey there, too: Swift’s “Midnights” collaborat­or sat in front of the singer’s suite, and the two women reached over a barrier to grab each other’s hands before the game, delighting their fans who wanted to see them together.

‘And that guy catches the ball.’: The Super Bowl was the third Chiefs game for Swift’s longtime bestie, stylist and designer Ashley Avignone. Sitting next to Ice Spice in the suite, she seemed to be giving NFL pointers to the rapper.

Chug, chug, chug: During the first half, when the Chiefs were behind, Swift was seen chugging from a can of beer. Video of the moment was shown on the big screen inside the stadium, and the NFL tweeted it with one word: “Icon.”
