Taylor Swift was spotted playfully mimicking Travis Kelce’s signature first down celebration during the Kansas City Chiefs’ thrilling game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday night. The pop superstar was all smiles as she joined the crowd in celebrating Kelce’s spectacular play, showing her enthusiasm and support for her rumored boyfriend.
The moment unfolded after Kelce, 35, made an incredible play, catching a pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
In a bold move, Kelce threw a lateral to running back Samaje Perine, who successfully pushed the ball past the first down marker, electrifying the Arrowhead Stadium crowd. Swift, watching from the stands, wasted no time in imitating Kelce’s well-known first down gesture, a moment caught by broadcast cameras that quickly went viral.
Swift made a statement with her choice of attire, proudly showing her allegiance to the Chiefs. She donned a red Louis Vuitton sweatshirt paired with black skinny jeans, complemented by a scarlet Versace purse and sleek black Alaïa booties. Notably, she added a touching nod to Kelce by accessorizing with an “87” pendant necklace, a tribute to his jersey number.
The singer wasn’t alone in her celebration—she was accompanied by Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce, and her own father, Scott Swift, in a VIP suite at Arrowhead Stadium. The trio was seen enjoying the game together, clearly invested in the action on the field.

While it remains unclear whether Swift spent Thanksgiving with the Kelce family, there were indications that she might not have attended the festivities. In a recent appearance on the “Today” show, Donna Kelce hinted that Swift was unlikely to join the family for the holiday, citing her busy schedule. “I don’t think so. She’s kind of busy right now. She still has her tour to do,” Donna said, suggesting that Swift’s commitments may have kept her away.
Swift’s recent appearances at Chiefs games have been sporadic, as she was notably absent from Kelce’s last two away games against the Carolina Panthers and the Buffalo Bills.
The Chiefs managed to secure a nail-biting victory over the Panthers, but suffered their first loss of the season at the hands of the Bills on November 17th. Swift was unable to attend either of those games due to her ongoing Eras Tour, which has been captivating audiences across North America.
After nearly two years on the road, Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour is finally nearing its end. Before heading to Kansas City, Swift performed two incredible weekends in Toronto, which fans playfully dubbed “Tayronto.”
During her sixth and final show in Toronto, Swift became visibly emotional as she expressed her gratitude to her devoted fans. The crowd gave her a minute-long standing ovation, prompting Swift to pause and take in the moment.
“Toronto, we’re at the very end of this tour, so you doing that, you have no idea how much it means to me and to my …,” Swift began, before getting choked up and turning away momentarily to collect herself. “To my band, to my crew, and everybody who’s put so much into this tour … I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore,” she continued, her voice breaking with emotion. “That was, uh, I’m just having a bit of a moment. Sorry.”
With only three shows left in her blockbuster tour, Swift is gearing up for her final performances in Vancouver next weekend.
As the Eras Tour comes to a close, Swift’s dedication to both her fans and her personal life has been on full display, whether she’s performing to sold-out stadiums or cheering on Kelce from the stands.
Her continued support for Kelce and her ability to balance her career and relationships have endeared her to fans even more, making her presence at Chiefs games a highlight for both football enthusiasts and Swifties alike.
