The Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers faced off in Sao Paulo, but Taylor Swift's absence overshadowed the game for many fans.
The Kansas City Chiefs' game against the Los Angeles Chargers in Sao Paulo, Brazil, was dominated by the Chiefs' fans in the stands, but the anticipated appearance of Taylor Swift, engaged to Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, failed to materialize. Despite the Chargers' 27-21 victory, the no-show by Swift, who had been speculated to make a third visit to Brazil, was a major talking point. Local fans expressed disappointment, while others enjoyed the festive atmosphere, which included a pre-game appearance by Neymar and a halftime performance by Karol G that was less well-received than last year's Anitta performance. The NFL's presence in Brazil continues to grow, with plans for future games in Rio de Janeiro also being considered.
