## Back in the stands
Taylor Swift turned up at Arrowhead Stadium for the Chiefs' Monday night season opener against the Denver Broncos. It was her first game since marrying tight end Travis Kelce.
## Sitting with Tom Cruise
Swift watched the game next to Tom Cruise, and cameras caught the two chatting in the stands. Cruise was one of the A-listers at the couple's July wedding.
## A wedding at MSG
Swift and Kelce married at Madison Square Garden on July 3 with nearly 1,000 guests, including Paul McCartney, Brad Pitt, Conan O'Brien, Gigi Hadid, Lena Dunham and Zoë Kravitz.
## McCartney played, Sandler officiated
Paul McCartney and Stevie Nicks both performed at the reception. Adam Sandler handled the ceremony itself.

> It's a night we'll never forget. Me and Taylor are so thankful for everybody that showed up.
## $26 million, 20 charities
The day before the wedding, the couple gave $26 million to 20 charities tied to their hometowns, among them Reading's Helping Harvest, Kansas City's Children's Mercy Hospital and Cleveland's After-School All-Stars.
## Where it started
In 2023, Swift showed up at a Chiefs-Bears game in Donna Kelce's suite amid dating rumors, and the internet lost it. Three years later she is back in the same stadium as his wife.
## Key takeaway

The Swift-Kelce spectacle has a second act: a July wedding, a $26 million donation, and a Monday night reunion in the Arrowhead stands.
