Taylor Swift Joyfully Hugs Caitlin Clark After Travis Kelce Scores Huge Touchdown in Chiefs Playoff Game

Caitlin Clark records assists in the offseason!

The reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year helped Taylor Swift cheer on her boyfriend Travis Kelce on Saturday, January 18 at the Kansas City Chiefs-Houston Texans playoff game.

The basketball phenom, 22, joined the music superstar, 35, for a hug after Kelce caught a big touchdown in the fourth quarter to give the Chiefs a 20-12 lead.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes was dramatically falling to the ground on third down as he threw the ball to an upright Kelce in the end zone for a tally.

The critical play had Swift excitedly jumping up and down in Kelce’s suite, before she saw Clark walk back to her seat with the food and pulled her into a hug. The “So High School” singer also addressed Kelce’s dad, Ed, as they celebrated.

Earlier in the game, the two celebrated Kelce’s second big play, a 49-yard reception that marked the longest postseason reception of his career.

That play was the tight end’s first 20-yard catch this season — and it led to a Chiefs touchdown.
