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.”

Thrasher runs a party entertainment service called, “Kelley’s Version,” a nod to Swift’s rerecorded album, “Taylor’s Version,” where she impersonates Swift at local Kansas City events.
In a video post on Instagram, one of her friends who attended the game with her recalled the “chaos” of the night. and “whispers” from fans who mistook the blonde for Swift.

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.
