She was not back in the bleachers.
Taylor Swift was notably absent as the Kansas City Chiefs took on the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium on Sunday. The “You Belong With Me” singer, 34, also skipped the team’s match-up against the Atlanta Falcons last weekend.
The pop star’s second straight no-show comes amid ongoing criticism of her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s performance on the field this season.
However, Chiefs wide receivers Rashee Rice, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman showed their solidarity before Sunday’s game by wearing custom T-shirts with different images of Kelce, 34, playing football.

Although Swift attended Kelce’s first two games, she was not in the crowd for his win against Atlanta — in which he tallied four receptions for 30 yards.
The tight end’s stats have been a major talking point over the last couple of weeks, with some analysts blaming his busy private life on his lackluster performance.
The three-time Super Bowl champion addressed his slow start to the season during Wednesday’s episode of his “New Heights” podcast.

“We’re finding ways to win games, but we’re not playing our best football,” Kelce, 34, admitted.
“Everybody can clean it up,” he added, noting that he dropped a pass during a “crucial” moment last weekend.
However, Kelce noted that he is doing his best to “help the team out” in every way possible and is focused on getting better as the season progresses.
