A social media account belonging to the official U.S. Open tennis championships has shared an old photo of the last time Taylor Swift was at the event before her appearance with Travis Kelce on Sunday. The singer and her Kansas City Chiefs tight end boyfriend were photographed at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City alongside their friends Brittany Mahomes and her husband, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
The group watched the men’s singles final between Taylor Fritz of the U.S. and Italy’s Jannik Sinner.
The U.S. Open’s X account shared a photo of Swift singing “God Bless America” back in 2002 and underneath that image, it shared a snap of Swift with Kelce at the event on Sunday.

The text on the image reads: “Taylor Swift returns to U.S. Open after singing ‘God Bless America’ in 2022.” “Life comes full circle for @taylorswift13,” the account captioned the photo. The post has gone viral and at the time of writing it had been viewed 787,900 times. Newsweek emailed Swift’s spokesperson for comment on Tuesday outside of normal business hours.
“This is the cutest invisible string,” one person wrote, while another commented: “stop making me cry.” “wow, it is not a good day to be my emotions,” someone else said.
A fourth person added: “22 years ago and she was 13 years old…tayvoodoo.” At the U.S. Open in 2002 Swift would have still been 12 years old.
