Taylor Swift has been given the green light to buy a stake in the Kansas City Chiefs, her boyfriend Travis Kelce's team.
Ever since rumours of their relationship began to emerge in 2023, Swift and Kelce have undoubtedly become one of the biggest celebrity relationships across sports and popular culture.
The popstar has been spotted supporting her boyfriend on several occasions as he plays as tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Her support even led to some fans coming up with a theory that the American singer and her fashion choices were a good luck charm for Kelce’s side as they aimed to win the Super Bowl last season.

However, it's possible that Swift could take her love for the Kansas City Chiefs and the NFL to another level, as her potentially purchasing a stake in the club has been officially approved.
In recent years, several celebrities have put massive investment in sports teams, with the likes of Michael B Jordan purchasing a stake in AFC Bournemouth and, of course, Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac getting involved.
And when the possibility of Swift investing in the Chiefs was put to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, he confirmed that it's certainly a possibility.

“If she’s interested, I think she has the ability to do it,” Goodell said via Albert Breer.
The NFL official also credited Swift for brining more fans to the sport thanks to her relationship with Kelce, who he also praised for his talents on the pitch.
"They're happy. They seem to be enjoying their relationship and it's great. It has connected more fans of Taylor's and more fans of the NFL to see that they have a connection to our game," Goodell added.
"She's an unbelievable artist, Travis is an unbelievable player and I think it's great for the league,"

Although Swift is yet to show signs of wanting to pursue a stake in the Chiefs or any other NFL team, she certainly has more than enough money to do so if she decided it was something she wanted.
Following the success of her Eras tour, the 35-year-old became a billionaire in 2023, becoming just the fifth musician to reach the mark, joining the likes of Jay-Z and Rihanna.
