Travis Kelce is enjoying the glow of Taylor Swift's applauding him and his Kansas City Chiefs team.
On Sunday, October 1, Kelce, 33, expressed his appreciation by liking an Instagram video. The video captured Swift, 33, reacting to teammate Isiah Pacheco's touchdown against the New York Jets on the same night.
The video, shared by NBC Sports and the official Sunday Night Football social media accounts, featured a split screen. The top half showed the replay of the Chiefs, while the bottom half showed Swift watching the game with her friends. As Pacheco, 24, made his way towards the end zone, Swift watched intently. When the running back successfully executed the play, the pop star enthusiastically jumped up and down with her friends, including Blake Lively and Melanie Nyema. The video has currently received over 26K likes.
Swift was present at the Sunday game at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, accompanied by some familiar faces. Alongside Nyema, 42, and Lively, 36, Swift was joined by Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds, Sabrina Carpenter, and Sophie Turner.
Travis Kelce's mother, Donna Kelce, was present at the game after watching her son play in Philadelphia earlier that day. In a game suite, Donna and Swift were seen hugging, and Sunday Night Football shared the moment on their page. The caption said, "Mama Kelce and Taylor Swift ❤️," with text on the clip stating that they are Travis Kelce's biggest fans.
This is Swift's second time attending a game to watch Kelce play. Earlier this month, she flew to Kansas City to support the Chiefs as they faced off against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium. Following the match, the two were seen exiting the venue together and enjoying each other's company at a postgame celebration.
As the season continues, the potential romance between Travis and Swift seems to be intensifying. According to an exclusive source last month, we were informed that the two of them were growing closer with each passing day.
In September, an insider revealed that Taylor is completely infatuated with him after a few dates. Their relationship is currently casual and Taylor is enjoying herself.
Travis initially attempted to catch Swift's attention in July by crafting a friendship bracelet with his phone number, intending to give it to her during her Eras Tour. Although he couldn't present her with the gift at that time, another source confirmed that they managed to connect and spend time together before she made her highly publicized appearance at his game.
