After fan confusion at a Kansas City Chiefs Christmas game that led to fans thinking Taylor Swift was in attendance, a woman named Olivia Adamonis, who resembles the pop star, has spoken out about the confusion.

Why it matters

While the 35-year-old singer has in the past gone to stadiums to watch her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his team play, she is often scrutinized at games, with people filming her every move, trying to read her conversations and even he noticed as her jewelry slipped.

Fans continued to love seeing Swift’s continued involvement and support of Kelce and let it be known on social media. However, Swift was also noticeably absent from Kelce’s away games as safety concerns remain for the singer.

The source said Side Sixv September that away matches are more difficult for the singer in terms of security measures. “If he goes to a place that isn’t Arrowhead [Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri]there are security concerns,” one source said. “She’s worked with Arrowhead so many times that she feels comfortable and at ease. When you go to different stadiums, you have to send the team in advance.”

What to know

The Chiefs played the Pittsburgh Steelers on December 25, the first of two games that Netflix streamed live on Christmas Day. The game included Kelce’s 77th career touchdown. The milestone marked him passing Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez, who spent 12 seasons with the Chiefs from 1997 to 2008.

While Swift was not spotted at Pennsylvania’s Acrisure Stadium to watch Kelce help the Chiefs to a 29-10 win in near-freezing temperatures, the Swift doppelgänger in the VIP section became the focus of some fans in the stands.

Fans spotted the blonde with striking red lipstick — Swift’s signature look — and assumed she was there to support Kelce. The ensuing speculation lit up social media only to be debunked when the mystery woman, Adamonis, revealed that she was not Swift.

Adamonis, a TikTok creator with no previous posts on the social media platform, used the app to clear up the confusion in a video that quickly garnered more than 1.5 million views. She recounted how she and a friend were enjoying the game from the seat when fans started waving and taking pictures.

“I just waved back because I didn’t want to look rude,” she explained, who acknowledged that her hair and makeup probably contributed to the mix-up, but emphasized that she wasn’t looking for attention.

By the end of the game, Adamonis was trending online, with her pictures and videos being shared across social media platforms as fans marveled at the uncanny resemblance.

“I never expected this reaction,” she said in her TikTok video.

While Swift did not attend the game, she made her presence felt online by joining in on social media posts celebrating Kelce’s success.

What people are saying

TikTok user Angela wrote on Adamonis’ post: “Instantly I thought you looked like Taylor Swift, but I can’t quite place what it is.”

TikTok user Aiden he also wrote, “I saw the picture and actually thought you were Taylor. Of all the people we could be mistaken for, that’s pretty cool. Hope it wasn’t too invasive for you.”

Meantime, Kelce spoke of his success in a post-match interview at Christmas: “It’s everything to me. Tony.” [Gonzalez] he was a mentor to me, he was there for me [with] any questions I ever had. I feel like I’m always trying to step into this guy’s shoes. He is such an incredible competitor and I love him so much. It’s an honor to be in talks with him.”

What happens next

The Chiefs are once again Super Bowl contenders as they lead their division in the American Football Conference (AFC) West.

The Chiefs are currently riding a six-game winning streak. They have one more game of the season before the playoffs begin. On January 5, the Chiefs will face the Denver Broncos on the road. It’s unclear if Swift will attend, but all eyes will be on the lookout.
