The defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs will be in town Sunday to face the struggling Browns, but the biggest speculation is about who may be in the crowd.

The intrigue: The game is a homecoming for Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, whose girlfriend (you may have heard of her) has been known to attend his games.

Taylor Swift's birthday is Friday and she recently wrapped up the record-setting "Eras Tour," freeing her for a potential visit to northeast Ohio.

Reality check: Swift has mostly attended Chiefs home games due, in part, to security concerns, per Vanity Fair.

State of play: The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame may know something we don't as the museum hosts "A Taylor Swift Holiday Celebration" from 10am-5pm Saturday.

The event is free with regular admission and includes book signings with Rolling Stone's Rob Sheffield and Annie Zaleski, local author of "Taylor Swift; The Stories Behind the Songs."

Between the lines: If that's not enough for you (because why would it be?), The Roxy at Mahall's in Lakewood is hosting "Nonsense Swiftmas" at 7pm tomorrow.

The dance party features the music of Swift and Sabrina Carpenter. Tickets are $15.

If you go: As for actual football, tickets for the 1pm Browns-Chiefs game start at $40.
