Taylor Swift was all smiles as Travis Kelce addressed Chiefs Kingdom after Kansas City once again won the AFC Championship. Kelce, 35, took the stage with quarterback Patrick Mahomes, head coach Andy Reid and the Hunt family after the Chiefs defeated the Buffalo Bills 32-29 to secure their spot in the 2025 Super Bowl.
Swift, 35, and her boyfriend's mom, Donna Kelce, watched from the field as the tight end gave a celebratory speech on Sunday, Jan. 26 at Arrowhead Stadium. After Kelce shouted out the fans of Chiefs Kingdom and getting to "play in front of Arrowhead Stadium like this every single AFC Championship," the NFL star broke out for some impromptu karaoke, singing the chorus of "Get Down Tonight" by KC & The Sunshine Band.
"Hey, before you guys get out of here," Kelce began, before singing, "Just do a little dance. Make a little love." The crowd joined him for the call and response, adding to the festive atmosphere.
Mahomes, 28, also spoke to the crowd after their AFC Championship win, expressing his gratitude to Kansas City fans for being "loud and proud" at Arrowhead Stadium. "We love you, Chiefs Kingdom," he declared, holding high the Lamar Hunt trophy.
Swift and Kelce were soon covered in red and yellow confetti, celebrating their latest victory with kisses on the field following the trophy presentation. The Chiefs are now set to return to the Super Bowl for the third consecutive year on Feb. 9, attempting to make history as the first NFL team to win three titles back-to-back.
The upcoming game at Caesar's Superdome in New Orleans will feature rapper Kendrick Lamar performing during halftime, with SZA making a special appearance.
While Swift was visibly anxious during the game against the Bills, videos captured her cheering enthusiastically from her VIP suite, alongside her supportive family decked out in Chiefs colors. For Swift, the football experience has become central to her life since starting her relationship with Kelce.
Former Kansas City Chiefs cheerleader Stefanie Hill shared insights on social media about Swift's interactions on game days, highlighting how Swift would always meet Kelce by the locker room after every match. Hill described Swift's star power, recalling her own feelings of awe when seeing the superstar cheer for the team.
Hill's TikTok revealed, "All those pictures of her game day outfits walking down red tunnels are right next to the locker rooms." This proximity to the players added to the excitement during home games.
"At the end of the game, she would always meet Travis by the locker room," Hill added, noting the sweet moments they shared post-game.
Swift's relationship with Kelce has blossomed since it began around September 2023, when she first attended one of his games. Their public displays of affection on the field have made headlines, with Swift joining Kelce during celebrations after games.
She nearly traveled halfway across the world from Japan to celebrate their Super Bowl win last year, making her presence felt wherever the Chiefs play. Last season, after the Chiefs defeated the Ravens for the AFC Championship, Swift celebrated on the field surrounded by Kelce's family.
Swift began attending Kelce's games soon after the start of their relationship, and it's clear she's become enamored with the sport itself. "Football is awesome, it turns out," Swift said, reflecting on how she’d initially overlooked the game before dating Kelce.
"I’ve been missing out my whole life," she noted, appreciating the excitement and camaraderie football brings.
The Chiefs secured their spot at the Super Bowl with stellar performances, especially from their quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the team's defense. Swift celebrated with Kelce on the field afterward, fully embracing her new role as part of the Chiefs Kingdom family.
While #Swifties and football fans alike look forward to the upcoming Super Bowl showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles, it’s certain Swift will be present to cheer for Kelce as he aims for yet another championship.
The anticipated game takes place on Sunday, Feb. 9 at 6:30 p.m. ET, aired live on Fox. Swift's fans and Kelce's supporters will be watching closely as they attempt to witness history—one victory away from becoming the first NFL team to achieve three consecutive Super Bowl wins.
