  "account": "Taylor Swift was present at her husband Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs game against the Denver Broncos, marking her absence from the Monday Night Football broadcast on Sept. 14. Accompanying Swift were her family members, including her parents Scott and Andrea, her brother Austin, and her in-laws Donna and Ed Kelce. A surprise guest, actors Tom Cruise had sat next to Swift in the suite and was seen chatting with the pop superstar, sharing a hug during a Chiefs touchdown celebration. Their friendship extends beyond the game, as Cruise was present at their July 3 wedding, with anecdotes from sportscasters Joe Buck and Greg Olsen revealing their close relationship. Although Swift chose to attend the Chiefs game over the Monday Night Football broadcast, she pre-taped a Law & Order: SVU sketch with her longtime friend Mariska Hargitay, who hosted the awards show. Hargitay, who hosted the Emmys, selected Swift’s performance of \"The Eras Tour\" as the winning sketch, despite her own nomination for outstanding variety special.",
