The New York Jets are set to host the Kansas City Chiefs at MetLife Stadium for Sunday Night Football. It is also expected to be the stage for another peek at the budding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce romance, so this game is sure to be a popular one.

Since pretty much the entire country is anticipating Swift's return to East Rutherford for the first time since her highly acclaimed Eras Tour, there is also the question of where else Blondie might spend her time.

Here are five places Swift should stop to visit during her time back in North Jersey:

Have a drink at Redd's Restaurant and Bar

In addition to serving food like the popular “Half Way” sandwich and a wide selection of local and imported beers, Redd’s Restaurant & Bar also offers shuttle service to and from MetLife Stadium.

The best place for both a pre-game and post-game drink is at Redd's Restaurant and Bar. Located less than a mile from MetLife Stadium, Redd's features an outdoor biergarten filled with communal tables to bring together sports fans during a big game. The bar also has an extensive beer menu, consisting of both local craft beers and imported beers from all over the world.

Luckily, Redd's offers a shuttle service to and from MetLife Stadium, So no fear T-Swizzle, getting to and from the stadium to continue your "Love Story" will be a piece of cake.

Root for a 'White Horse' at Meadowlands Racing and Entertainment

A county girl at heart, there's no doubt that Taylor Swift would an enjoy an afternoon watching a horse race at the Meadowlands Racetrack. Located right beside MetLife Stadium, Meadowlands Racetrack hosts horse races every Friday and Saturday, and holds a variety of other events throughout the year, including an annual food truck festival.

There's also an abundance of food and drink options available within the racetrack, such as Lounge & Victory Sports Bar and Backyard Grill. This is the perfect place for Taylor if she has a moment of "Daylight" this weekend.

Spanning roughly three million square feet, the American Dream Mall is located just down the street from MetLife Stadium. With more than 450 shops, the American Dream Mall is the perfect place for Taylor Swift to pick up a new "Cardigan," or even to replace the scarf that we know "All Too Well." If she's really in the mood to experience everything this giant complex has to offer, she can even take a pit stop at the Big Snow or DreamWorks Water Park if she so pleases.

Find the 'Anti-Hero' at Medieval Times

Located just a mere three miles from MetLife Stadium, Medieval Times brings you back to the 11th century, where you root for your favorite knight at an authentic feast and jousting tournament. While it might feel "Cruel" to root for the fictional beating of one knight by another, all is fair in earning the Queen's affection.

Taylor Swift can join in with the crowd's booing of the "Anti-Hero" — the bad guy who is dead-set on ending the Queen's reign. Who knows, maybe she'd even get chosen to receive one of the knight's sought after red roses?

Go: 149 Polito Ave, Lyndhurst; 888-935-6878, medievaltimes.com

We all know Taylor Swift got her start as a country singer, though her style has evolved over the years. Nonetheless, who's to say she can't still get down to a "Tim McGraw" song or two? Located just minutes from the Hoboken train station and less than 30 minutes from MetLife Stadium, Mike's Wild Moose Saloon is the perfect spot for country music lovers to spend a night out.

After a night supporting Travis Kelce showing off his skills with the Kansas City Chiefs, Taylor Swift can show off her skills by singing along to all of country's greatest hits.
