Travis Kelce is one step closer to the 2024 Super Bowl.
The Kansas City Chiefs won 27-24 against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday in New York. With this win against Josh Allen and the Bills, the Chiefs advance to the AFC Championship against the Baltimore Ravens on Jan. 28, just one game away from the Super Bowl on Feb. 11 in Las Vegas.
The game also made Kelce and quarterback Patrick Mahomes a record-breaking duo. The tight end, 34, and running back, 28, broke the record for most postseason touchdowns by a pair in NFL history on Sunday.
Kelce caught two touchdown passes from Mahomes, bringing their career playoff touchdown total to 16, surpassing the New England Patriots duo of Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski’s 15.
After Kelce threw a pass into the end zone during the second quarter, he made a heart shape with his hands, directing the gesture toward his superstar girlfriend Taylor Swift, 34, and his family inside Highmark Stadium.

Travis’ older brother Jason Kelce (36) celebrated that touchdown by taking off his shirt and shouting excitedly in the suite where their mom Donna Kelce, dad Ed Kelce and Swift were also cheering. Jason was also seen jumping into the stands shirtless to greet the boos of the Bills fans.
Jason’s wife Kylie Kelce and Mahomes’ wife Brittany Mahomes also attended the game in person. Kylie’s appearance marked the first time she and Swift were at a game together.
If the Chiefs win next week, they will compete in the Super Bowl in hopes of winning back-to-back Lombardi trophies. It would be the Chiefs’ fourth trip to the championship game in the last five years, after winning in 2020 and 2023.

In October, Bills quarterback Allen, 27, told PEOPLE he thought the NFL’s coverage of Kelce’s relationship with Swift was “good for the brand,” amid complaints from some fans that the singer was featured too often on the broadcast.
“I think it’s attracted a lot of viewers to what we’re doing, and I guess in this business you either grow or you die,” Allen said.
Swift was a regular Kelce cheerleader during the NFL season. She attended her first Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium on Sept. 24 when Kelce’s team routed the Chicago Bears 41-10.
The Chiefs are now 8-3 with Swift in attendance.
