New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and his family gave popstar Taylor Swift a birthday present she will never forget. Her first NFL stadium concert ever was at Gillette Stadium and the gift, a framed original ticket from the event, represents that milestone.
Swift turned 34 years old on December 16 and one day later attended Gillette Stadium to cheer for her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, in a win over the Pätriots. Even though the stadium booed Swift when she appeared on the jumbotron, the venue remains a special place in her heart, as she sold it out over 10 years ago. Swift’s first-ever stadium at an NFL stadium was on June 5, 2010 at the Patriots’ home and now has a way of remembering it for the rest of her life.
Taylor Swift’s love story with Gillette Stadium
Gillette Stadium may have booed Swift, but she took it in stride, and there is not doubt that venue will always be a special place for her. Likewise, the New England fans also love her, just not when she’s there rooting against them. Still, Swift’s concert will forever be one of the most iconic moments in Gillette Stadium history. In fact, Kelce walked past a poster of Swift in the tunnel of Gillette Stadium, which is located next to some legendary players. When the Chiefs TE saw it, he did not really react.
