Are you ready for it? Toronto Swifties will want to put on their finest friendship bracelets and glittery outfits this weekend to see Travis Kelce's new racehorse in action.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end and boyfriend of pop icon Taylor Swift recently purchased a Toronto-based racehorse whose name couldn't be more fitting.

The 3-year-old gelding, dubbed Swift Delivery, is set to make "sparks fly" on the track this weekend in Toronto. T. Swift fans can cheer Kelce's horse on and enjoy a bit of Taylor-inspired excitement ahead of the Eras Tour.

If you're "enchanted" by the idea of watching Swift Delivery race, here's what to know about the event and how to watch it.

Kelce's horse Swift Delivery will be taking part in the $125,000 Toronto Cup Stakes Presented by Crown Royal at Woodbine Racetrack this Saturday, August 31.

This will be a new era for the gelding as it's his first stakes race.

Swift Delivery was bred in Kentucky and made his first four starts at Woodbine before travelling to Florida for a pair of races this spring.

"He's an easy horse to be around," assistant trainer Kathryn Sullivan said in a press release. "He loves to train and he's very professional."

If you'd like to watch Swift Delivery compete this weekend, you can head to Woodbine and enjoy the race for free.

You can also book a table via OpenTable at one of the racetrack's two restaurants — The Stella Artois Terrace or Post Parade Dining Room — and see the race from there.

If you'd rather stay home, you can watch a live stream of the race on the Woodbine website.

Swift Delivery will compete in the ninth race this Saturday at 5:19 p.m. and will be ridden by jockey Patrick Husbands.

A spokesperson for Woodbine told Narcity that the horse is likely to race every few weeks.

For fans wondering if Kelce could make an appearance at the event, it might be a long shot. The football star is scheduled to play against the Baltimore Ravens on September 5, so there may not be time for him to swing by Toronto.

Taylor will be touching down in Toronto this November for her Eras Tour. Who knows, maybe she'll pay the racehorse a visit while she's in the area!

Watch Kelce's horse earn a "big reputation" on the track this weekend.
