Editor’s Note: At the end of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade Wednesday, a shooting left one dead and at least 10 people injured, Kansas City police announced. Below is coverage of the Chiefs’ celebration from earlier in the afternoon.
Downtown Kansas City has become a sea of red for Valentine’s Day as Chiefs fans prepare to celebrate their third Super Bowl title in five seasons with a parade.
“It never gets old,” Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, on the eve of Wednesday’s festivities to mark the Chiefs’ victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
Key on the minds of many fans is whether pop superstar Taylor Swift will join her boyfriend Travis Kelce for the parade and victory speeches. Swift has not commented, but it would be a tight scheduling feat. She has to be in Melbourne, Australia, which is 17 hours ahead of Kansas City, by 6 p.m. Friday for the first of three scheduled concerts on her Eras Tour. And the flight itself takes about 17 hours.
Still, that remote possibility, combined with unseasonably warm temperatures in the 60s Fahrenheit (15-20 Celsius), are expected to generate a crowd that city officials estimate could top 1 million.
