"Will Hailee Steinfeld, Josh Allen's Girlfriend, Attend the Bills Game This Sunday?"

 

There's been a lot of talk lately about Taylor Swift possibly showing up at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park on January 21 when the Buffalo Bills take on the Kansas City Chiefs in an AFC Divisional Round showdown.

Swift, who's been making headlines for her relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, has been spotted at six out of his last seven games.

On the Bills' side, quarterback Josh Allen also has a connection to Hollywood. He's linked with actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld, though they've tried to keep their relationship low-key.

The pair was first seen together last May, getting cozy at a sushi restaurant in New York City, shortly after reports surfaced about Allen and his longtime girlfriend Brittany Williams going separate ways.

In August, during an episode of the podcast “Pardon My Take,” Allen was asked about tabloid reports of him "making out" with Steinfeld while on vacation in Mexico in July. He responded, "The fact that anybody cares about that still blows my mind."

But apparently, people do care.

So, who is Hailee Steinfeld?

Born in Tarzana, California, and raised in Thousand Oaks, she's a 27-year-old actress, much like Allen, who hails from Firebaugh, California.

Steinfeld has been acting since she was a child, landing a role as Mattie Ross in the 2010 remake of the classic western "True Grit." Her performance earned her critical acclaim and an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress.

She's been featured in films like “Ender’s Game” and “Begin Again” in 2013, and her role in the 2016 coming-of-age movie “The Edge of Seventeen” brought more praise, including a Golden Globe nomination.

Apart from acting, Steinfeld voiced Gwen Stacy/Spider-Woman in the 2018 animated feature “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and starred in the Apple TV+ series “Dickinson” from 2019 to 2021.

As a pop singer, her debut EP "Haiz" in 2015 reached No. 57 on the Billboard 200, followed by 2020’s “Half-written Story.” Some of her singles include “Most Girls,” “Love Myself,” “Starving,” and last year’s “SunKissing.”

Despite being tight-lipped about her relationship with Allen, she has been seen at Bills home games and was reportedly present for his 52-yard touchdown run during the team’s wild-card win against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Jan. 15. Social media also captured her shopping for Bills gear in Buffalo with Allen’s mom, LaVonne.

During a red-carpet interview at the Golden Globes on Jan. 7, Steinfeld hinted at her support for the Bills when asked about their chances against Miami. She gave a thumbs up, expressing feeling “really good” about a Buffalo victory, but humorously pointed out that the Stefon Diggs jersey waved at her was the "wrong number."

So, it seems like Steinfeld is not just a Hollywood star but also a Bills fan. Only time will tell if she'll be in the stands at Highmark Stadium cheering on the Bills alongside the potential presence of Taylor Swift.
