Taylor Swift, SZA, the Beatles and the best songs of 2023
USA TODAY national music reporter Melissa Ruggieri released her list of 2023’s best songs and there are a number of familiar names that made the cut.
It’s about 75 miles from Taylor Swift’s home in Watch Hill, Rhode Island to Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts where the singer attended her seventh game of the season.
Swift owns the “Holiday House” in the posh, seaside corner of the Ocean State. It’s where she wrote her eighth album “folklore” during the pandemic and what she references in her third track, “the last great american dynasty.”
The singer was seen at the Chiefs versus Patriots game, after spending her 34th birthday with friends in New York City. She wore a white beanie with a red stripe around the crown from Kut the Knit, a gray Chiefs sweatshirt under a black coat, and black tights. She attended the game with her dad, Scott.
Patriots Coach Bill Belichick referenced Kelce dating Swift on Sept. 25 when he talked to the Boston radio station WEEI: “Travis Kelce has had a lot of big catches in his career. This would be the biggest.”
Since she and her boyfriend Travis Kelce went public at the Sept. 24th match-up between the Chicago Bears and Kansas City Chiefs, Swift has attended seven of 12 games. The Chiefs won the first four and lost the next two.
- Sept. 24: Chiefs beat the Bears 41-10
- Oct. 1: Chiefs beat the Jets 23-20
- Oct. 12: Chiefs beat the Broncos 19-8
- Oct. 22: Chiefs beat the Chargers 31-17
- Dec. 3: Packers beat the Chiefs 27-19
- Dec. 10: Bills beat the Chiefs 20-17

In her Time Magazine interview that came out on Dec. 6, Swift mentioned she’s there to cheer on the star tight end. “Football is awesome, it turns out,” she said. “I’ve been missing out my whole life.”
