The Kansas City Chiefs faced off against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday in a Divisional Round matchup. More importantly for the loyal fanbase of Taylor Swift, the pop star was in attendance to support her boyfriend, Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce.
The rabid fanbase of Swift, often referred to as the “Swifties”, has obviously made much of her relationship with Kelce throughout the season thus far.
Say what you will about the relationship, Kelce has performed much better this season when Swift has been in attendance at his games.
That clearly could just be a coincidence. But Kelce made his presence known early on in Sunday’s matchup with Swift in attendance yet again.
Towards the end of the second half, Kelce found himself wide open for a 22-yard touchdown to give the Chiefs a 13-10 lead.
Mahomes to Kelce. Bread and butter. Chiefs take the lead! #ChiefsKingdom

After scoring, Kelce celebrated by flashing a heart symbol with his hands in Swift’s direction.

As you would expect, the Swifties had plenty to say on social media about this gesture from Kelce toward Swift.

This exact same heart symbol from Kelce is what Swift has famously done for quite some time at her concerts, so there is no debating what Kelce meant with this gesture.
With recent reports suggesting that the relationship between Kelce and Swift is getting more serious, this moment will certainly do very little to silence those rumors.
