Kamala Harris was defeated by Donald Trump in the battle for the US presidency

American popstar Taylor Swift has admitted she snubbed the chance to stand alongside Kamala Harris - to attend an NFL match.

Harris, who lost the US presidency race to Donald Trump, was expecting Swift to attend her closing rally in Pennsylvania.


However, the Shake It Off singer's seat was left empty as she went to watch her boyfriend Travis Kelce in action for the Kansas City Chiefs instead.

Swift, who commands a huge fanbase, publicly endorsed Harris in September for the presidency.

But her boyfriend came first as she arrived at the Arrowhead Stadium wearing a black, red and gold leather Chiefs jacket.

There had been rumours that she was set to appear at the Democrats rally on Monday night to ramp up more support ahead of the election on Tuesday.

However, a day before, it was revealed that she was not listed as a guest at the Pennsylvania event.

And with the Chiefs in action against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the same night, it was clear her mind was made up.

She arrived at the NFL match an hour before alongside her mother Andrea, as well as Kelce's mum Donna.

The 34-year-old was also sat with Brittany Mahomes, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes' wife, who expressed her support for Trump.

Despite their political differences, the two remain good friends after it had been suggested that it could have caused a rift.

The Chiefs continued their perfect start to the season to go 8-0 after a 30-24 victory over the Buccaneers.
