Chanen Johnson debunks the myth of VIP suite amidst Taylor Swift mania
When Travis Kelce plays, Taylor Swift is in a fancy suite, frequently accompanied by Kelce's family or Patrick Mahomes' wife, Brittany.
However, the truth is that NFL players' spouses and significant others rarely get privileges like stadium suites and game tickets.
Speaking of the VIP suite pricing at NFL matches, Chanen explained, "I feel like this is a common misconception because a lot of the times whenever you see families on TV it’s because they’re [the cameras] are catching a glimpse of them in their suites or where they’re sitting at with their families."
"But it’s not free. The regular bad seats aren’t free, let alone the suites."
Chanen captioned the post "The 50k ones [suites] are [fire] and kinda worth it."
Chanen claimed that more expensive stadium suites can cost up to $50,000, while the "cheaper" suites are approximately $20,000.

The NFL wife added, "I would say the cheapest suite you can get is maybe $18,000 to $20,000 [per game], which honestly isn’t a bad deal when you really think about it."
"Basically, I know there are a lot of girls on teams that will get together, they’ll all get 20 girls and they’ll all pay $1,000 [each] and they get a really nice suite together," she continued.
"There are, however, rooms that we can meet up with the guys after the game, like family rooms for a post dinner."
Chanen said, "By no means is there a specific room for girls to watch together unless we go out of our way to purchase it."
She also mentioned that in order to cut expenses, a group of significant others may frequently pool their funds.
Why is Chanen Johnson's revelation much-needed information for Swifties?
In the wake of Swift attending NFL games owing to her new romance with Kansas City star Kelce, Chanen's revelation is much-needed information to the fans.
Swift has attended Kansas City Chiefs games thrice in a row, and fans of the singer and NFL fans want to know more about how and what goes on in the VIP suites.
In September 2023, the 'Anti-Hero' singer attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game, sitting in the Kelce family's private suite as they defeated the Chicago Bears.
Swift, Travis and Donna Kelce, the tight end's mother, celebrated the victory with his teammates at a private gathering later.
Cameras captured Swift's reactions during the Chiefs vs. Jets game in New York the following month when she was once again in the stands with several of her well-known acquaintances.
The singer was accompanied in her suite by her friends Austin Swift, Shawn Levy, Hugh Jackman, Blake Lively, Sabrina Carpenter, and Ryan Reynolds.
Swift was back in the stands for the Chiefs game in Kansas City on October 12, 2023, against the Denver Broncos, after missing Kelce's home game against the Minnesota Vikings on October 8.
Swift was seen sitting in the athlete's private box close to Kelce's mother, sporting a Chiefs jacket.
The Saints website states that a 300-level suite, which can accommodate 15–26 people, comes with a private stadium entrance, an in-suite attendant, and a food and beverage package.
The 400-level suites, on the other hand, include four assigned parking spaces and may accommodate 22–45 people. Moreover, Saints suite occupants at the Superdome have access to nine "premium" clubs.
In contrast, the NINE suite at Hard Rock Stadium, home of the Dolphins, comes with 20 tickets, unlimited food and drink, and entry to a private, "climate-controlled" lounge.
