The Kansas City Chiefs will face off against the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship on Sunday to see which team will be heading to the Super Bowl in Las Vegas in a few weeks. Taylor Swift is expected to be in attendance at the game to support her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and it seems as though the city is already gearing up to give the singer a warm welcome, so to speak.

Baltimore-based graffiti artists dlordink and Shawn Forton spent three hours this week painting a mural of Swift decked out not just in Ravens purple, but in star quarterback Lamar Jackson's No. 8 jersey at the Unlimited Art Studio in Havre De Grace.

Tag [Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce] in the comments and let them know how good she looks in [Lamar Jackson's] Raven's purple," dlordink captioned an Instagram video of the pair creating the mural, set to "Bad Blood (Taylor's Version)," naturally.

Route One Apparel, which was founded by a University of Maryland graduate and boasts "all things Maryland state pride," likewise shared an image of the finished product. "Swapping out the heartbreak songs for touchdown anthems," the retail company posted to Instagram. "Because even Taylor knows Lamar’s plays are hotter than any tight end’s moves!"

Even though she's rooting for the other team, Swift has generally gotten a warm reception when accompanying the Chiefs to away games. When the team went head to head with the Buffalo Bills last weekend for the AFC divisional playoffs, Highmark Stadium paid tribute to the 34-year-old ban offering Taylor Swift-themed menu items such as "Karma Quesadillas" and "Bad Blood Waffle Fries" at concession stands.

The San Francisco 49ers will likewise host the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday, and the winners of the respective two games will meet in the Super Bowl on Feb. 11.
