Taylor Swift has proved that she's just like every other football fan.
Swift is dating Kansas City Chiefs' tight end Travis Kelce and is in the audience at this year's Super Bowl to support to her boyfriend.
The pair started dating last year, with Swift having since attended several of his football games.

Despite being in Tokyo, Japan, just a day ago, Swift jetted across the globe in time for the year's biggest sporting event.
It's thought that the huge 17-hour time difference between Tokyo and Vegas worked in the 'Bad Blood' hitmaker's favor.
Swift is joined by her pals Ice Spice and Blake Lively at the Chiefs' big game, with Kelce's family sitting closely behind her.
While the Chiefs are losing the game against the San Francisco 49ers at the time of writing, Swift still seems to be enjoying herself.
As NFL fans probably expected, the cameras keep panning to the global superstar and her friends, and caught the moment she downed a beer as the crowd egged her on.
Swift has since been hailed as 'one of us' by fellow football fans.
"Travis taught her well," said one person on X.
"Much respect for this lol," another person penned, as a third wrote: "Hahaha, ok that’s funny."
Noting that the Chiefs are losing, a different person added: "She better keep drinking the way this game is going for her boyfriend lol."
Swift has been quite unpopular with some NFL fans in the wake of all the attention she receives at the games, but one Super Bowl viewer admitted that the chugging video made them dislike the singer 'a little less'.
Undeniably Swift has faced some backlash since she started dating Kelce, but others have praised her for what's being called the 'Taylor Swift effect' on football as it has attracted more young people - young women in particular - to the game.
A sweet Super Bowl ad for Cetaphil showed the moment a father and daughter watched a football game together, despite the fact she was initially uninterested in the sport.
The heartwarming ad went down a storm with viewers, and even left some people tearing up.
One person tweeted: "As the daughter of a football coach and a diehard Swiftie, I adore this."
Another shared: "Crying over the fact that these two are actual father and daughter."
Talk about marketing done right.
