During the 2024 NFL season opener at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, on Thursday, September 5, spectators — including Mahomes, 29 — were asked to shelter in place due to a strong but brief storm that passed over the stadium.

The storm swept through, unleashing heavy rain and lightning before the Chiefs faced the Baltimore Ravens. Kickoff was originally scheduled for 7:20 p.m. local time, but was delayed 20 minutes to 7:40 p.m.

As the storm unfolded, Brittany, the wife of quarterback Patrick Mahomes, filmed herself and her daughter Sterling Skye, 3, wearing Chiefs towels on their heads to protect themselves from the rain. In the video shared to her Instagram Stories, Brittany tells the camera, “We survive,” while Sterling smiles sweetly at the camera.

When the game kicked off, Brittany wore a loose white t-shirt with denim cargo jeans that had the team colors, red and yellow, painted on the seams. Sterling wore an adorable red dress, with matching red ruffled socks. Her hair was tied in pigtails with pink bows.

The singer arrived on a golf cart and greeted fans as she made her way to the stadium. “Hello… how are you guys?” Swift said, showing off a silhouette in knee-high boots, shorts and a strapless tank top.
