Former Kansas City Chiefs player Kyle Long was left fuming after a confrontation at Taylor Swift's Miami concert, with his wife on the verge of losing her temper due to a seating mix-up. The retired offensive lineman took to Twitter to express his frustration when they found their seats already taken by an obstinate fan: "Hey @HardRockStadium my wife and I bought tickets for the swift show tonight and we got here and someone is sitting in our seats they won't leave," he tweeted.

"My wife is gonna go bananas shortly. Just getting your security ahead of it," Long cautioned. The NFL star was among many football greats attending Swift's Eras Tour.

NFL icon Tom Brady shared a snap with his sons, Jack and Ben, at the event. The Kelce family showed support too rooting for the music star with Travis' brother, Jason Kelce, spotted dozing off in his plush seat.

The former Philadelphia Eagles centre was there with his wife Kylie, their two daughters, and his mother, Donna, but perked up as Swift performed her hit "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together", reports the Mirror.

Swift has resumed her "Eras Tour" after a short break, set to thrill audiences over 18 shows in the next 51 days, with stops in cities like New Orleans, Indianapolis, Toronto, and Vancouver.

NFL superstar Travis Kelce was noticeably missing from the show as his team, the Chiefs, prepared for a match against the San Francisco 49ers in San Francisco this past weekend. The Chiefs are unbeaten so far this season.

Despite the team's impressive performance, Kelce has yet to score a touchdown this year, leading to some criticism of the three-time Super Bowl-winning tight end. Jason Kelce defended his younger brother, stating: "I think that Trav - listen, he's been very healthy throughout his career. This is a guy who has always found a way to show up in peak physical shape, and I know optics are that he is all over the place - and that's not just optics, that's just reality - but he still keeps the main thing the main thing."

He added: "Football has always been the most important thing in Trav's life. He has always lived his life to the fullest, he has enjoyed his off- seasons very much even before Taylor Swift and everything else that's been going on in our lives. He is always going to find a way to make football the No. 1 priority."
