The Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up for another home game at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, October 19. Since it’s a home game, there’s a good chance that superstar singer Taylor Swift will be in attendance. Swift is engaged to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and she often attends his home games, feeling comfortable with the security measures in place. For away games, where security can be less reliable, she usually opts to stay away.
This upcoming Sunday, the Chiefs will face off against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders, currently holding a 2-4 record, have been having a rough season, making this game potentially easier than last weekend’s contest against the Detroit Lions. However, no win should be taken for granted, and the Chiefs are expected to be fully focused and ready to perform.
### Taylor Swift Helps Raise an Incredible Donation
Ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Las Vegas Raiders game, Taylor Swift is making headlines not just for football, but for a remarkable charitable impact.
Swift recently wore a vintage Monterey Bay Aquarium otter T-shirt, which sparked a significant fundraising effort for the aquarium. The shirt, originally from the 1990s, gained attention when Swift donned it during the filming of “The Official Release Party of a Showgirl.” The shirt appeared in the final video, catching the eye of fans and supporters.
According to a report by KSBW, following the film’s premiere, the Monterey Bay Aquarium noticed an influx of donations in $13 increments—Swift’s favorite number—and renewed interest in the out-of-production otter T-shirt. Capitalizing on this momentum, the aquarium decided to reissue the shirt as part of a special fundraiser, aiming to raise $1.3 million, another meaningful number linked to Swift.
The results were staggering. The fundraiser hit the $1.3 million goal in just seven hours and, as of Friday, October 17, had raised over $2.3 million and counting. The aquarium shared on their fundraiser page:
> “We’re saying thank you to all the eagle-eyed fans out there with a re-release of our vintage Monterey Bay Aquarium sea otter t-shirt. We tracked down the original artwork—first printed in the 1990s—and are bringing it back, sustainably. For a limited time, we’re running a special campaign to support our Sea Otter Program and other critical ocean conservation work.”
### ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ Is a Hit
Taylor Swift’s latest album, *The Life of a Showgirl*, is also enjoying massive success. The album marked the biggest debut of the year on the Billboard 200 chart, moving more than 4 million album units. Additionally, it shattered the record for the most vinyl albums sold in a single week, with 1.2 million copies.
Critics have given the album glowing reviews. Rolling Stone praised it, stating:
> “Taylor Swift’s *The Life of a Showgirl* combines new, exciting sonic turns with incisive storytelling.”
Maya Georgi of Rolling Stone added:
> “On her 12th studio album, Swift hits all her marks—from new, exciting sonic turns to incisive storytelling.”
Swift’s current success extends beyond music and sports. With her engagement to Travis Kelce, she also has wedding plans underway, adding to an already exciting time in her life.
Stay tuned to see if Swift will make an appearance at Arrowhead Stadium this weekend and continue to use her incredible influence for good causes.
