Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce thrilled two Taylor Swift fans on Sunday when he stopped to give them high-fives after his team’s 21-7 victory over the Cleveland Browns. Despite Swift not attending the game, her presence was clearly felt among the crowd, including these two Swifties wearing Eras Tour T-shirts who managed to catch Kelce’s attention.
A Surprise Interaction
The memorable moment occurred as Kelce was leaving Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland. The two women eagerly waved at the 35-year-old NFL star, hoping for a quick interaction. To their surprise, Kelce briefly stopped to acknowledge them, giving them high-fives before rejoining his teammates.
The fans were left in awe, momentarily speechless, before bursting into excitement and jumping up and down with joy. One of them later shared a video of the encounter on X (formerly Twitter), captioning it:
“Met Travis Kelce today lol. He was so sweet haha.”
In a follow-up post, she added:
“We asked nicely for a pic but he declined and still came over to us, which he obviously didn’t have to do. Especially since we are Browns fans but secretly rooting for Travis hah.”
Chiefs Secure Another Win
The Chiefs’ win over the Browns solidified their position as AFC West champions, bringing their record to 13-1. Kansas City will face the Houston Texans next Saturday, followed by a much-anticipated Christmas Day matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Taylor Swift’s Absence
Taylor Swift, Kelce’s globally renowned girlfriend, was not in attendance for the game. The pop star rarely joins Kelce for away games, citing security concerns and logistical challenges. However, Swift and Kelce spent time together just days prior, celebrating her 35th birthday in an intimate setting.
A source close to the couple revealed:
“He got her a ton of gifts. It was just the two of them celebrating her milestone birthday.”
Swift’s Community Impact
Before her birthday, Swift made a heartwarming visit to Children’s Mercy Kansas City hospital on Thursday. The singer spent time with young patients, taking photos and chatting with their families. One particularly lucky girl even received a $600 Dyson Airwrap as a gift from Swift.
The outing marked Swift’s first public appearance since wrapping up her historic Eras Tour the previous weekend. Throughout the tour, Kelce attended over a dozen of Swift’s performances, showcasing his unwavering support for her career.
Kelce’s Encouragement for Rest
Now that the whirlwind tour is over, Kelce is reportedly encouraging Swift to take time to recharge.
“[He is] so inspired by her and proud of all the hard work she’s done,” a source recently revealed. “At the same time, Travis feels it’s important for Taylor to take some time out for herself.”

A Couple That Continues to Captivate
The relationship between Kelce and Swift has captivated fans worldwide, and moments like Sunday’s surprise interaction only deepen the connection between the star-studded couple and their admirers.
While Swift wasn’t present to witness her boyfriend’s kind gesture, it’s clear that Kelce’s charm extends far beyond the football field. With their ongoing support for one another’s endeavors, Kelce and Swift remain one of the most talked-about pairs in both sports and entertainment.
