"TAYLOR SWIFT???????? AT A SPORTING KC GAME YESTERDAY???????" - Taylor Swift lookalike causes confusion at Kansas City game

A Taylor Swift lookalike stole the spotlight during Sporting Kansas City’s 2-0 victory over St. Louis on Saturday.

MLS fans were convinced the superstar singer, who’s dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, was enjoying the game in a suite with friends at Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City, Kan. as seen in videos on social media.

However, Swift wasn’t at the game on Saturday. The woman in question was Kelley Thrasher, who’s dubbed herself “Kansas City’s official Taylor Swift Doppelganger.”

“Still laughing at the chaos last night brought. We were just there to celebrate our girl @amberleigh.masters birthday… but bring Taylor Swift’s lookalike to an SKC game and suddenly you need security escorts and end up in the stadium’s secret speakeasy with the players after the game,” the caption read, including a crying-laughing emoji.

“@sportingkc won—so she’s clearly the good luck charm. And no, it wasn’t actually Taylor (but the crowd & my DMs definitely thought so)

“My kids think I’m the coolest mom ever because I’m ‘friends with Taylor Swift’ — and honestly, I’m not correcting them.”

The video showed young girls and boys looking up at Thrasher and her friends in the suite and screaming and waving in her direction.

The group was also captured on the jumbotron.
