Taylor Swift has recently spoken up about her connection with Travis Kelce, and he couldn't be more ecstatic. While performing in Buenos Aires on Saturday, November 11, Swift decided to alter a portion of the lyrics to her song "Karma".
Instead of singing about "Karma is the guy on the screen, coming straight home to me," Swift, who is 33 years old, changed the lyrics to "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs."
Kelce, who is 34 years old, is a beloved tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs and has been romantically linked to Swift for the past two months. While Kelce has openly talked about their fast-paced relationship and their public outings, Swift has remained noticeably quiet. This alteration in Swift's lyrics is the first public acknowledgment she has made regarding their relationship.
Kelce witnessed her second performance at River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires alongside Taylor's father, Scott Swift, in the VIP tent. Despite being a long-time fan of the Philadelphia Eagles, Scott, aged 71, was spotted wearing a Chiefs lanyard. It is worth noting that Travis' brother, Jason Kelce, coincidentally plays football for the Eagles.
Following Taylor's modification of the "Karma" lines, several fans on social media captured Travis' reaction. Footage shared on X (formerly Twitter) shows Scott immediately turning to Travis and placing his hand on his shoulder. The NFL star initially appeared delighted before covering his face with his hands, seemingly in disbelief. After removing his hands, Travis resumed dancing from his spot in the audience.

Travis, looking effortlessly stylish in J. Logan Home's iconic "The Maison" silk shirt and coordinating trousers, fully embraced his love for Taylor Swift during the three-hour set on Saturday. Sporting a collection of friendship bracelets on his arm, he fervently danced to nearly every song. Notably, he delighted fans by forming a heart shape with his hands while greeting them, a gesture Taylor herself has been known to do throughout her career, dating back to her Fearless era.
Later on in the show, Taylor's backup dancer Kameron Saunders, 31, cleverly included a special reference for Chiefs fans. During his captivating "Bejeweled" dance break, Saunders mimicked shooting an arrow, reminiscent of Taylor's choreography for "The Archer" and Travis' entrance into Arrowhead Stadium for the football games.
"Tonight's solo performance was truly extraordinary, a heartfelt homage," Kameron shared on his Instagram Story on Saturday, accompanied by a playful wink emoji.
Taylor and Travis have been consistently connected since September, just weeks after he experienced her unforgettable Eras Tour in KC. Although his initial attempt to gift her a friendship bracelet with his contact details fell short, they eventually managed to establish a connection. Their bond deepened when she attended her very first Chiefs game in September.
"They are experiencing a great deal of happiness at the moment, although they are reluctant to admit that they are in love. However, it is quite evident to her circle of friends that their relationship is headed in that direction," a reliable source disclosed to us in October. "Their friends are convinced that they have fallen in love."
Taylor is currently in the midst of her Eras Tour in South America, with performances scheduled until the end of November. The European tour leg is set to commence in early 2024. Meanwhile, Travis has a demanding schedule of NFL practices and games. Despite their busy agendas, a second informant recently informed us that the couple has meticulously planned their rendezvous to ensure they can see each other between their commitments.
