The Kansas City Chiefs were at it again on Sunday, November 23, with a serious matchup against the Indianapolis Colts at home. This was a big game for the Chiefs, because their record going into the game was 5-5 for the 2025-26 season, which leaves much to be desired. That’s not the kind of record one would expect from such a championship-winning team, but this is the NFL, and things get rocky.
Taylor Swift usually attends home games of the Kansas City Chiefs to cheer on her soon-to-be-husband, Travis Kelce. She’s been keeping a low profile at games, so it’s often difficult to tell when she arrives, but regardless, she made news amid the Chiefs-Colts game.
Swift, of course, unleashed her 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” on October 3. She’s been making history with the set ever since. Upon its release, the album marked the biggest debut for an album on the Billboard 200 chart ever, moving more than 4 million album units. It also broke the record for the most vinyl albums sold in a single week, with 1.2 million copies, according to research from Billboard.
Taylor Swift News Alongside the Kansas City Chiefs Game
Swift has done it again. Her chart-topping “The Fate of Ophelia” single is No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, marking its sixth straight week at the top of the chart. The Billboard 100 is the standard music industry chart for tracking the most popular songs in the United States, counting all genres.
“The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations,” Billboard explains.
According to data and research from Luminate, “The Fate of Ophelia” had 26.2 million official streams and 62.2 million radio airplay audience impressions in the past week. It also sold 25,000 units in the United States during the tracking week ended November 13. Even though those numbers were down from the week prior, it was still enough to make it at the top of the chart.
More Historic Numbers for Taylor Swift
“The Fate of Ophelia” is Swift’s third song to that’s been able to be on top of the Billboard 100 chart for at least six weeks. Her other songs that have accomplished that are “Anti-Hero” and “Blank Space,” which topped that chart for 8 weeks, and 7 weeks, respectively.
It doesn’t stop there. On the tracker’s Streaming Songs chart, “The Fate of Ophelia” was also No. 1. It also went from No. 5 to No. 4 on the Radio Songs list and was No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart for a fifth week. “The Fate of Ophelia” and “Anti-Hero” are now tied as Swift songs that have stayed at the top of the Hot 100 in their first six weeks, according to industry research.
“The Life of a Showgirl” has gotten solid reviews, too. “Taylor Swift’s ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ combines new, exciting sonic turns with incisive storytelling,” Rolling Stone says in its review of the album.
