An NFL fan who was mistaken for Taylor Swift at the Pittsburgh Steelers vs Kansas City Chiefs game on Christmas Day has come forward on social media to address her accidental fame.
The singer did not make the trip to the Steel City to cheer her boyfriend Travis Kelce on, continuing her trend of staying away from Chiefs road games this season.
But there was some speculation before the game that now Swift isn’t touring, she would have headed to Pittsburgh to watch Kelce in action.
Fans and reporters kept an eye on the VIP suites in the moments leading up to kickoff and some mistakenly thought they had spotted the singer taking her seat just before the game started.
Instead, it was a fan who has now come forward on TikTok as Olivia Adamonis, who said she realized people were waving and taking pictures of her in the box.
‘I just waved back because I didn’t want to seem mean or rude,’ she explained in her first ever TikTok video, reflecting on the day.

It wasn’t until the game had ended that she discovered what had happened.
‘A staff member came up to me and was like “you know you are all over TikTok and Twitter, right?” I’m scrolling through Twitter and I see a bunch of pictures,’ Adamonis said.
‘So I’m sorry, the people that thought I was Taylor Swift. It was me. It was a whole thing. I have pictures of me and my friend at the game, it was a box.
‘I can see it, from far away maybe they thought because of my hair, the way my makeup was done – I had red lipstick on.’
Swift missed a record-setting day for her boyfriend Kelce against the Steelers.
His touchdown in the fourth quarter saw him set a franchise record of 77 touchdowns for the Chiefs, eclipsing the record held by Tony Gonzalez.
And the 29-10 victory saw Kelce and his team lock up the No.1 seed in the AFC.
It means they have a bye when the playoffs begin and with one more regular season game to go, it could be a short while until Kelce is back on the field.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is expected to rest his main men for the road game against Denver Broncos on January 5 and keep them safe for the playoffs.
The next time Kelce takes to the field will be the weekend of Jan 18-19 at Arrowhead Stadium.
There will be no mistaking Swift being in the stands then, as the Chiefs hit the final straight in their bid for their third Super Bowl title in a row
