BALTIMORE (AP) — Following the Kansas City Chiefs' triumph over the Baltimore Ravens to secure a spot in the Super Bowl, Taylor Swift shared a brief kiss with Travis Kelce and warmly hugged him. The intimate moment, marked by a kiss that quickly became the talk of the football world, might just be a prelude to Swift's potential presence in Las Vegas, supporting her boyfriend as the Chiefs aim for back-to-back titles. Are they "Ready For It"?
Swift, undeniably one of the biggest stars globally, and her romance with Kelce have been one of the prominent stories of this NFL season. She took center stage during the Chiefs' 17-10 victory in the AFC championship game and the subsequent celebration.
Before receiving the Lamar Hunt Trophy for the fourth time in five years, Coach Andy Reid, on stage, singled out Swift in the crowd, and Swift reciprocated by pointing back.
She and Kelce strolled arm in arm around the field afterward, well after many teammates had headed to the locker room. In a personal moment, Kelce inquired about his brother Jason's whereabouts, prompting Swift to step away to allow them a private exchange.
Jason Kelce, a Super Bowl champion and All-Pro center with the Philadelphia Eagles, encouraged Travis to finish the job again. Travis, known for his celebratory antics, humorously asked Jason if he planned to keep his shirt on this time.
Travis Kelce didn't speak to reporters afterward, emphasizing Swift's significance as a priority.
Rookie receiver Rashee Rice remarked, “You can tell he loves this game. Honestly, I could tell that he loved this victory more than any victory this season.”
Swift's potential attendance at Allegiant Stadium for the Super Bowl on Feb. 11 could be hindered only by her "Eras Tour" schedule. While she has concerts scheduled for Tokyo on Feb. 9 and Feb. 10, the time difference might allow her to attend the game.
For fans in Kansas City, American Airlines has added a special flight from Kansas City to Las Vegas on Feb. 10, Swift's birth year, and one of her albums, at 12:30 p.m. local time. After the game, flight 87 — matching Kelce’s jersey number — departs Las Vegas for Kansas City at 12:20 a.m. local time on Feb. 12.
Swift was prominently featured during the AFC title game, seen cheering from her suite alongside Kelce’s family, friends, and celebrity pals Cara Delevingne and Keleigh Teller. CBS repeatedly cut to Swift during their broadcast, showcasing her enthusiasm, especially after Kelce made significant plays.
As a regular attendee at Kelce's games for several months, Swift has brought additional attention from her devoted fan base, the "Swifties," contributing to record-breaking ratings during the regular season and playoffs.
