Taylor Swift spent part of the 2025 holiday season celebrating with the Kansas City Chiefs’ inner circle, joining the wives and girlfriends of players, including Brittany Mahomes and Ana Lucia Demmer, at a private Christmas gathering tied to the team.
The rare glimpse into Swift’s off-field holiday plans surfaced through an Instagram video shared on December 29 by Demmer, who is dating Chiefs offensive lineman Creed Humphrey. The clip, part of her year-end 2025 recap, briefly shows Swift smiling and enjoying the festivities alongside the group, offering fans an uncommon look at the pop superstar taking part in a low-key Chiefs WAGs celebration.
Taylor Swift Appears In Chiefs’ WAGs Group Video
Toward the end of the video, Taylor Swift appears standing behind a festive holiday display featuring Peanuts characters Snoopy and Woodstock. She is seen among a close-knit group that includes Ana Lucia Demmer, Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and several other partners of Kansas City players.
Demmer captioned the post with a reflective year-end message, writing, “this year went by faster than napoleon tripling in size. But man, am I thankful for another one. See you soon, 2026.”
Although Swift was not tagged in the video, viewers were quick to spot the pop superstar in the background, sparking widespread attention across social media.
In September, Demmer spoke to PEOPLE about the close-knit bond shared among the Chiefs’ wives and girlfriends, noting how their shared experiences have helped foster a genuine sense of community.
“We have such a welcoming community — I don’t know if it’s just the Midwest vibes,” she said at the time. “I think there are a lot of stereotypes, like mean girl behavior, but at the Chiefs, we don’t have that at all.”
Swift’s appearance at the holiday gathering came amid her continued public support for her fiancé, Travis Kelce, throughout the NFL season. She attended the Chiefs’ final home game at Arrowhead Stadium on Christmas Day, where she was seen cheering on Kelce and the team. That game also generated buzz after reports surfaced that Swift tipped stadium employees generously.

According to Robyn, Swift was “running around telling everyone Merry Christmas” before approaching her and saying, “Thank you so much for working on Christmas, please take this.”
