In a moment of celebration, Travis Kelce ensured to acknowledge the guest of honor after scoring a crucial touchdown in the second quarter, giving the Chiefs the lead over the Bills.
Kelce’s go-ahead touchdown against the Bills, with 3:33 remaining in the first half, was accompanied by a heartwarming gesture. After tossing the ball into the stands, Kelce looked up towards the box and made a heart gesture directed at Taylor Swift, his celebrity girlfriend.
Moreover, Kelce added a touch of romance to the celebration by blowing a kiss to the crowd, echoing a similar gesture made by Swift when she arrived at Highmark Stadium, playfully stating, “Bills by a billion,” in response to the Bills fans’ greeting.
The heart-shaped hand gesture has a special connection to Swift’s “Fearless” era, where she would perform the song, incorporating the heart gesture with her hands, described as “something between ‘I love you’ and ‘thank you,'” according to The New York Times.
The Kelce box was filled with notable figures, including Jason Kelce, Travis’s brother, and his wife, along with actress Cara Delevingne. Jason Kelce, despite his Eagles’ elimination in the wild-card round against the Buccaneers, continued his spirited day by embracing the tailgating experience with Bills Mafia. When Travis scored the touchdown, Jason enthusiastically joined the celebration, dancing shirtless. Subsequently, he leapt out of the suite to engage in the celebration with Bills’ fans, although the excitement was notably subdued this time.
Beyond the emotional celebration, the touchdown held historical significance, marking the Kelce-Patrick Mahomes connection’s tie with Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski for the most postseason touchdowns between quarterback and receiver, totaling 15.
