Hopkins played one full season with the Titans and six games this year with Tennesee.
Swift, who made the time to watch her boyfriend Travis Kelce amid her Eras Tour, was captured by the ESPN cameras jumping up and down and wildly cheering from a box inside Arrowhead Stadium.
The pop icon made her first appearance at one of Kelce’s games since she attended the Chiefs’ Oct. 7 game at Arrowhead against the Saints.
Swift was spotted entering the stadium on Monday night wearing a black top and black shorts along with black boots and a Chiefs jacket.
