The Super Bowl is set: the Kansas City Chiefs will take on the San Francisco 49ers on February 11th in Las Vegas. The Chiefs defeated the Baltimore Ravens last night, upending a lot of prognostications that the Chiefs would get their asses handed to them by a superior team. When the Chiefs won, friends and family poured onto the field, including Travis Kelce’s girlfriend Taylor Swift.
First off, I’m so glad that Taylor decided to go to the field to congratulate Travis. She did so knowing that the cameras would track her every move and she was fine with it. So we got a full love story, documented by the NFL and sports photographers. Travis grabbed her, hugged her and pulled her in for a kiss. He called her “Tay.” He kept his arm around her even when he greeted his family. Her lipstick looked perfect and her bangs were artfully messy. He also referred to both his father and brother as “Big Dog.” We also got a look at Tay’s diamond “TNT” bracelet!!
Anyway, the sports bros are big mad that they’re getting “the Taylor Swift Super Bowl.” You know Taylor has repeatedly refused to do the Halftime show, right? She’s the biggest and best-selling artist in the world – the NFL needs Taylor more than she needs the NFL. Taylor is also headed to Japan for the start of her international Eras Tour dates, but people have done the math and Taylor will be able to perform in Japan, then hop a flight to Vegas and still be there in plenty of time for the Super Bowl.

So happy for the kelces and taylor!!!
I never even know who’s in the Super Bowl, but now it’s the 49ers -my hometown team – vs Tay’s boyfriend. Frankly, I’m about anything that increases Tay’s profile while she’s encouraging voter registration in the scariest election year in history. Yeah in my mind this line of thinking makes sense. I won’t be watching the game, though.
This!
Agreed – anything to get the vote out. PS I love that she looks to have natural curls that get a bit frizzy !
Heyyyyy! Bay Area representing here too, Bettyrose! I share your sentiment exactly. This is the outcome I was hoping for. Gonna be a red in the stadium for SB and (thankfully) NOT because of politics.
I never paid her much attention and probably still would not BUT her part with increasing voters, yeah, that won me over. I am rooting for her and their relationship. Seeing them smile and their interactions makes me smile.
Im a fellow Bay Area resident! Totally agree with everything in BettyRose’s comment!
Bay Area too!
Though I DO watch football, I LOVE the Niners and I’m so freaking excited for the Super Bowl!!
Also – think Travis and Taylor are great for football, the NFL, vaccines and voting.
Bay Area here too, go Niners! What an amazing game last night!
Go Niners. So excited for the Super Bowl
They are adorable – enough said! 🥰
Congrats to the KC Chiefs – and I say that as a broken-hearted Eagles fan lol
This was just so lovely — a genuine feel-good moment where two people just seemed so happy and in love. And don’t we all need that in 2024?!
I really hope these two make it.
It was very cute. From his mom making sure Taylor was with the family as they hit the field, and how Taylor gave him space to greet Donna first before she and Trav kissed and hugged. The camera caught some of their exchange where you hear her legitimately thrilled telling him that she had a great view from where she was sitting before they whispered something back and forth, and then she gave him space so his dad could greet him. It was sweet. As a big football fan, this was a great run by a Chiefs team that had to rely on its D and an offensive resting on a few guys like Kelce(who played great last night). I know dude bros are mad, but they can stay mad. Lol. I’m sure Roger is desperate for Taylor to go to the Superbowl
It was all so adorable. The video of her making her way down to the field “do we have a dad? we have Jason. Ok, we have a dad.” And saying she would follow Donna’s lead. Then the way Travis kept his hand on her even while he hugged his dad, then immediately drew her back to him. They just both looked so happy and in love and honestly, the world is sad and depressing 90% of the time and this story makes me happy.
Travis had an amazing game, catching 11/11, balls that were inches from the grass while he was being tackled to the ground, like a cartoon. (Mahomes came out with his extra gears) Travis got in the Ravens’ heads, was in at least 4 scuffles, got a soft head butt and laughed so hard at them getting the 15 yd penalty over it. Then after the game the mics picked up his ‘I love you’ to Taylor, Jason, his parents, his teammates, Chief’s Kingdom. Hell if Aaron Rodgers had shown up he would said I love you to him too.
I’m with all of you, this is exactly the feel good story I didn’t know I needed. It was freaking adorable when she and Travis were trying to find Jason. For everyone who wants to call her an attention whore, she backed way off when they found him, and let Jason and Travis have their brotherly love moment. She was walking behind the cameras so they couldn’t center her in that moment. I loved it so much!
I’ve finally cracked. They were so darn cute last night, I think TNT might have finally warmed my chilly heart.
This☝🏼
While my Ravens lost, I was so happy to see Taylor and Travis celebrating and being happily in love. I’m no fan of Taylor Swift’s music, but I have to admit they’re adorable together.
The TnT bracelet…can I get me a Travis Kelce of my own, pretty please?
It took me a minute on the TNT and then I was like “oh! that’s cute!” LOL
It’s so freaking adorable. I know these are two grown ass adults in their mid-30s, but the TNT took me out with the cute!
Ok this was very cute! He seems like a good dude, I’m happy for her.
Many Republicans don’t like Travis and Taylor. He supports getting vaxxed and she is convincing a lot young girls to register to vote (for President Biden I hope). So our favorite power couple is a role model for two good causes. and they are also making MAGA freaks lose their sh*t. Those two are going to make beautiful babies when they get married.
It’s delicious reading their melt down on twitter. One of the best is Nick Adams saying Taylor is only there because Travis got a $700,000 bonus for the win, only to have heaps of people point our how much she is worth. https://twitter.com/WUTangKids/status/1751949963167256714
Oh, and Travis making the Superbowl is a psyop to make everyone get vaccinated and vote for Biden. https://twitter.com/debragarrett/status/1751798431721361858
I like them together and I like Travis a lot, so this is in no way a diss to Travis but more to the people who try to act like Taylor is with him for money.
but Taylor has a CAT that has a hight net worth then Travis Kelce. I mean like these MAGA bros just sound so stupid when they say she is with him for money when Taylor is handing out $500,000 tips like it is water.
And her one cat his worth more money then her boyfriend, she likes the guy and I can see why.
I saw that tweet yesterday and was so confused. Is Nick Adams writing satire now? Tay earned more than that in interest while I was typing my reply.
It’s truly love when she doesn’t even feel the need to get her hair blown out for the big game. Congrats, Chiefs! It was kind of a dull game honestly.
The contrast between her recent low-key styling makes her stage appearances seem even more glamorous. Smart move.
I had the same thought about her hair! I thought it made her look pretty, natural, and more youthful — it really drove home the whole “high school football star with a cheerleader girlfriend” image they’ve been serving. The former outcast in me kinda wants to hate them for that, but I can’t. They seem genuinely happy and in love.
Sat next to her early in her career. She is even more gorgeous Person. Ivory pore less skin, natural hair and is tall.
…or she likes her naturally curly hair?
I love her hair like this, it natural ,beautiful and the curls and waves are cute.
Haha! This is how everyone gets pulled into the “Taylor Swift is so genuine and adorable” vortex. That hair has nothing to do with true love or this adorable love story schtick. That is “Reputation Era” hair, because that is the next album to be re-released. Taylor is very calculated, *ahem*, strategic, and there is nothing spontaneous going on. She is very, very aware of everything and the effect it will have on the public. She’s got 20 yrs creating her own public persona.
Yes god forbid a woman be strategic about her career?
And you gave yourself away with the calculated comment. Yep see how you view women taking charge of their careers.
geez, can’t a girl have a fun night and celebrate her boyfriend’s success?
NOOOO it’s to sell albumns the curly bangs are a subliminal message TO BUY MY ALBUMS lol
She’s a billionaire and doesn’t need to make everything a consipriacy. And if she can encourage young women to vote for Biden and keep us out of another 4 year Orange Disaster. Go Taylor!
OOOH Taylor knows how to calculate! Gotta love a woman who can math.
Sports bros better pipe down. I haven’t watched the NFL since Donald Trump waded into the kneeling controversy and I’m sure there are plenty of folks like me. Between the rancid comments from jerk owners, the obvious blackballing of Kaep, and the simultaneous CTE revelations, I stopped watching. Cold turkey. But this season I tuned into the Chiefs to see Taylor and I watched a few plays. Then I found myself watching wild card games. Yesterday, I watched three quarters of the Chiefs-Ravens and the first half of the 49ers-Bills. That’s more football than I’ve seen in five years, and it’s solely due to Taylor. Don’t get me wrong. I still think the NFL is evil, but the TNT romance is the most normal, downright nice thing to come out of that toxic stew of screwed up masculinity in over a decade. My husband, meanwhile, is ready to build an altar and burn incense to Taylor. Thanks to her, he’s got his Sunday football buddy (at least semi-) back.
I grew up in football but hadn’t watched more than the Super Bowl and occasional playoff game for my team in almost twenty years. I watched every single week. I watched
My team and the Chiefs!I kept track of the other 30 teams. I was all in again. My husband and I sent each other texts discussing the various games. My daughter was all in watching with me. They got me back.
Same, I have started watching football again after many years of having no interest. The NFL is benefitting TREMENDOUSLY from her presence, whether or not the salty bros want to admit it. And the free publicity she is getting from the NFL is hilarious to me.
Same Keke have all those issues with the NFL but I am watching because of Taylor.
I get why people are sometimes cynical about celebrities…but this was pure, unadulterated love and joy. How can you not be happy for them? I feel bad for the people who refuse to see it and continue the (very undeserved) hate train.
Football wise, I’ve been ashamed of my hometown team for the past few years (DeShaun Watson, enough said) and fell in love with the Chiefs – BIG congrats to them!!
As a 40+ year San Fran Fan and a 30ish year KC fan – I am both happy and conflicted! SF is my #1 team, but when Montana went to KC, I started following them. Mahomes and Kelce give me the Montana/Rice feels so I am conflicted.
Regardless, TNT are just fun to see. Be happy folks. Stop being cranks.
Yes! Montana-Rice 2024 version and I am here for it! Love all four of those guys!
So wild since Kelce just broke Rice’s record!
Ok, this finally convinced me they are cute af together and I was on the fence this whole time.
There was a recent article stating that tje NFL has earned roughly $330M from Taylor since her September appearance so these chads brads and dads better act nice towards their Queen.
Yep and she has only been shown 0.46% of the time and made them that much money. That also doesn’t count all those small businesses that are doing unique things that Taylor wore that have gotten a boom.
That is why they show her, because no one on the field is making them that kind of money.
This could finally be her perfect match. He doesn’t have her level of fame but he’s comfortable in the spotlight. He doesn’t shy away from being seen with her. Instead he seems proud. And he has his own accomplishments. The man is a multiple Super Bowl winner. He and Mahomes have several records. He’s a likely first round ballot HOFer. She was actually there yesterday as HIS supportive partner. She’s not had that and it’s gotta feel good.
I think Taylor was just as supportive of Joe when he let her, and has several lyrics during their relationship to that end. But it wasn’t a two-way street, and I’m happy that she has someone now who appreciates her support, supports her career right back, and doesn’t act like he’s mortified to be seen with her in public.
Just like he waited in the wings for her at the concert in Rio letting her set the tone, she did the same here. Both have respectfully shown great professional and personal boundaries. Also that TNT bracelet is adorable.
That is the ULTIMATE friendship bracelet. Omg I do love a sense of humor. ❤
I can’t think of anything less appealing to me than watching a 49ers vs. Chiefs. I’m a Bengals fan and yes, I will die mad about it.
HOWEVER, watching the crazy MAGA freak out over Taylor is hilarious 😂
If it helps it is like the perfect MAGA troll game Taylor Swift vs evil San Francisco CALIFORNIA.
The only way to piss those people off more is for Obama to join Taylor in her suite.
I don’t get why people assume that you have to be a Republican to be annoyed by Taylor Swift. Some of us are just sports fans who find Taylor mediocre and annoying and rather have them talk about the game than this elaborate PR stunt. Also I’m a female sports fan saying this.
Yay! My team going to another Super Bowl! Go Chiefs! ❤️💛
Life long Chiefs fan here. How is this our fan life now?!?! It’s glorious. And the Love Story aspect is just such beautiful icing on the cake.
Chiefs fan since the 80s here. I’m soaking up every moment of these glory years. The fact that there’s a real live rom-com happening to one of our players is a bonus. GO CHIEFS!!
Okay, I have to say this and I’m not hating I swear but I do find it …serendipitous, if we’re being kind?… that Taylor’s man’s team just happens to match her signature shade of lipstick. Like, imagine if her boyfriend had played for the Jets?? Everything is very coordinated, how lucky for her.
You sound a little like the guys pushing the conspiracy theory that the Super Bowl participants are pre determined and that the logo said it would be a ravens/49ers game. Because the logo is red shaded to purple.
11/32 NFL teams have red in their logo. (12 if you count the maroon of the Commanders.)
So just by having red as her “signature shade”, she had a 33% chance of matching a football team logo. That’s not that lucky. It’s not like she’s been obsessed with neon green her whole career and happened to fall for someone in Seattle.
LOL!
I am a New England fan and have been waaayyyy before they were winners. I will forever root for my team, but seeing the way these MAGA religious right, racist-ass misogonist are melting down with each Chiefs win gives me such joy that I can barely handle it 🤣🤣🤣
And even though Pat has been annoying lately and his wife irks me, I watched him all through his college career and knew that he would be special.
Serious question, why does she trigger so many people? I would have thought they were an ideal pairing for pro football, since they have been together since high school. This isn’t some dude who got rich and suddenly had his pick of super models to choose a wife from, it’s almost wholesome.
MAGA heads exploding: SF (liberal) Niners, KC Vaxxed and TNT! It’s DYNAMITE! It’s outta sight! (OMG I can totally see Travis singing this song to Taylor!)
BTW: her bracelet was cute and designed by Michele Wie West!!! (pro golfer)
This is the match up I didn’t know I wanted! I get high off their coverage!! I am already worried that they’ll break up! I watch FOOTBALL!! They are so freaking cute I can’t stand it and I need that these days.
I’m terribly worried they’ll break up too! I was huge fans of them both before they got together, and this is all so cute and SO public.
Travis’ hands are as big as Taylor’s head. Wow.
They look so happy and so right for each other. Still cheering for a Jason Kelce best man speech!
(Jason was clearly in the penalty box for this game, LOL, to use a metaphor from another sport. He was so restrained that at one point, he looked to have nodded off in the stands.)
Omg twitter was so funny about Jason. Whom I had never heard of before this. But when he had to sit in the back everyone was like they won’t let Jason be Bejeweled.
Baltimore isn’t known for tailgating the way Buffalo is, so he probably wasn’t as drunk 😂. But one of the first things Travis said to him was “you kept your shirt on”.
I cackled at all the comments on social media about how Kylie made him wear two shirts!
This relationship seems so much healthier (playful and mutually respectful) than hiding away with JA.
I’m just a couple years short of 60, but I’m rooting for them like a 20 something.
Exactly. I’m 58, and if this was still a Tiger Beat era I would have a picture of them hanging somewhere!! LOL
Oh, that takes me back! Tiger Beat- David Cassidy, lol. Bobby Sherman. Shaun Cassidy. Leif Garrett. Too funny! (58 in April)
This made me truly happy for her. I am a huge Taylor fan, and she seems truly happy and honestly I love when I see massive celebrities that grew up famous get to have fun “normal” experiences like enjoy sports. She seems truly happy and he seems like a truly great, and kind man.
They seem like a great couple. I am upset it wasn’t the Lions though because as a true millennial i wanted Taylor Swift vs Eminem game with an Usher concert in the middle. But we can’t have nice things.
I also have to say as someone who loves sports but not football this has been so fun to enjoy the game and get to mess around with my guy friends who are such football fans. I keep going saying is the Taylor Swift game on, oh look Taylor Swift is going to the Super Bowl. They just lose it (in a fun way) and it is endlessly entertaining. That being said I am watching and invested in this guy winning it so it hasn’t hurt the NFL.
But them on the field was cute and you could tell she was truly proud of him.
I know a lot of people said this is a PR relationship, and…maybe it was at the start? But there’s a very popular fanfiction trope called ‘fake dating’ – where a couple has to appear to date (for a variety of reasons) and ends up actually falling for each other. Hmm…
I don’t think either of them are THIS good of actors – seeing them on the field last night seemed absolutely genuine. I think it’s for real, and I’m just so damn tickled for both of them!
Anyone watch Taylor’s reaction to Travis’s podium screaming fight for our right to party? Her reaction was the exact same as mine, oh please don’t, oh you did, a little embarrassing, oh well, that’s my man, lol. I loved Travis before he got with Taylor with his spontaneous joy displays but that phrase bugs me. It was completely appropriate during the Super Bowl parade but not so much last night imo. This couple seem to be a fabulous match both so talented plus pissing off Magats is a bonus. My money is with Mahomie’s team in the Super Bowl. I’ve already seen the Chiefs as underdogs BS but go ahead poke the bears.
A proud member of Chiefs Kingdom here!!! Oh please. Pile on the Chiefs as underdogs and that they won’t win. Chiefs LOVE to be piled on. It gives something for Mahomes to stew on for 2 weeks. On the other side of the coin. Travis and Taylor are adorable together. The way she looked at him I’m surprised she did not become spontaneously pregnant! LOL. They are adorable together and I love watching it as a football bonus. Go Chiefs!!!
She was the living embodiment of the heart eyes emoji last night, and it was adorable!!!
There is so much JOY in Kansas City! So excited for the Chiefs to play in the big game. The Travis/Taylor shots last night were adorable. Proud of the team and shipping Travis and Taylor forever.
My Super Bowl victory on field proposal prediction is still on the table!!!
In all honesty though, I kinda hope it doesn’t happen, just because I would love to see them take their time and enjoy dating and having fun together. The stories that their sources seem to be putting out there also make it seem like an engagement is not in the cards this soon. But…the hopeless romantic, Kelce family-loving side of me would secretly love to see it. Either way–go Chiefs!
Also, that bracelet is adorable and I bet she loved it.
Taylor, Travis and KC all heading to SB fine with me.
Travis is good looking, has his own money + career, let them enjoy themselves I say.
Heck, Travis is in excellent shape as an NFL player, go get him Taylor. What an upgrade from the greasy, grubby looking Matty Heally fella.
I also like Taylors hair in these photos.
Now, what about the Detroit Lions?
Oh man. Poor Lions fans. So damn close to SB. So close.
As a lifelong MN Vikings fan, we’ve never won a SB either, I was rooting for the Lions.
I feel bad for Eminem. He was rooting hard, big support for his Lions.
Now as for SB KC vs Niners? I do not care who wins. Both teams have repeatedly won SBs.
And Usher is a has been as a SB halftime performer, IMO. Pass on watching all of it.
Ugh. Those bangs are not “artsy.” She looks messy and unkempt. I normally really like how she dresses for the games but she looks like she just got caught in the rain or left the gym with her bangs sticking to her forehead.
That’s what wavy/curly hair is like IRL when not straightened. My hair is the same color, similar texture. The shorter, the curlier; length pulls ringlets to waves.
That is, until there’s any kind of humidity, when it will frizz and puff up. It’s natural texture. That’s. just. how. it. is.
Judgey, judgey!! Lol
It WAS raining in Baltimore 🙄
