International pop superstar Taylor Swift is set to release her 12th studio album on Friday at midnight. The Kansas City Chiefs are ‘…Ready For It’.
Swift’s latest project, ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ has been long anticipated since she announced its forthcoming release on the ‘New Heights’ podcast – hosted by her fiancee, Travis Kelce.
Since dating Kelce, Swift has attended many games to watch the star Chiefs tight end perform on the field.
But now, the sounds of the ‘I Can Do It With A Broken Heart’ singer will soundtrack the Chiefs’ preparations.
According to quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the team will be listening to the album all throughout their Friday practice.
‘Oh, yeah, for sure. I’m super excited. I haven’t been able to hear the album yet, but I’m super excited to be able to do that,’ Mahomes told radio show ‘The Drive’ on 96.5FM in Kansas City.

‘It’ll be blaring all through the Chiefs facility tomorrow. We’ll be supporting Taylor, and she’s putting in so much hard work to this, and I’m excited to hear the album just like everybody else.’
The last time Swift released an album, it was in April of 2024. Titled ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, it came after the Chiefs had already won the franchise’s fourth Super Bowl.
Unfortunately, it didn’t prove to be a good omen for their season as the Chiefs made Super Bowl LIX but lost badly to the Philadelphia Eagles.
This time, the release comes in the middle of the NFL season and at a time where Kansas City is coming off a big win against the Baltimore Ravens.
After starting their season 1-2, the Chiefs were able to drop 37 points on the Ravens defense to come out with a victory.
This Sunday, the Chiefs will travel down to Florida to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars.
