Travis Kelce gives sweet nod to Taylor Swift with touchdown celebration at Chiefs vs. Bills game
Travis Kelce gave a romantic nod to girlfriend Taylor Swift after scoring a touchdown during the Kansas City Chiefs’ divisional round playoff game against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
The NFL tight end flashed the pop star’s signature heart sign to the crowd after catching a wide open pass to briefly give his team the lead in the second quarter.
He followed that up by blowing a kiss — seemingly in the direction of the VIP suite where the “Anti-Hero” singer was watching the matchup at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y.
The 12-time Grammy winner was seen celebrating the big play alongside her man’s family, including his brother and sister-in-law, Jason and Kylie Kelce.
Cameras captured Swift, 34, happily hugging friends in the box after Travis, also 34, scored his first touchdown in eight games.

Meanwhile, Jason, 36, earned the title of “No.1 hype man” after he was seen roaring in celebration sans shirt with a beer in hand.
Swift, who has become somewhat of a staple at her beau’s games in recent months, was joined by pals Brittany Mahomes and Cara Delevingne.

Swift was photographed heading into Electric Lady Studios in Greenwich Village on Thursday amid the cold temperatures in NYC.
The music superstar broke her green-streak and opted for The Row’s Ieva Hooded Cashmere Maxi Dress ($3,350), a long black coat, loafers and a beige handbag.
She also swapped out her signature red lipstick for a coral color and kept her dirty blonde tresses down in loose waves.

Although Swift is currently preparing for the the 2024 leg of her Eras Tour, the singer spent last weekend watching the Chiefs’ dominant win over the Miami Dolphins.
She was spotted in the stands alongside new BFF Brittany Mahomes — who she matched with in custom Chiefs’ puffer jackets — Travis’ mom, Donna, and some of the tight end’s closest friends.
At one point during the game, the pop star put her dance moves on display as everyone in the suite swayed to the tune of “Swag Surfin’” by Fast Life Yungstaz — which has become a favorite among fans and players alike.

Following the win, the couple was seen leaving the stadium hand-in-hand, although Travis’ fingers were covered in small, bloodied cuts from the physical and frigid game.
While it’s unclear what the couple did to celebrate, they seemingly went back to Kelce’s $6 million mansion with some friends.
Swift has quickly won over everyone in her beau’s inner circle, with sources previously telling Entertainment Tonight that everyone thinks they are an “amazing match.”
“It’s a supportive dynamic all around,” an insider told the outlet. “Their loved ones have never seen either of them so happy and hope and believe that it will continue.”

The “Lavender Haze” singer also apparently made quite the impression on Patrick Mahomes’ father, who gushed about the “down-to-earth” artist during a recent interview with Kansas City outlet Starcade Media.
“I actually walked up and introduced myself to her, and she said she knew who I was because she had watched the ‘Quarterback’ series,” Patrick Mahomes Sr. said of meeting Swift, referring to the hit Netflix series which followed his son last football season.
