Travis Kelce shows heart on the court.
After scoring a touchdown during the second quarter of the Chiefs-Bills game on Jan. 21, the tight end used his hands to form a heart in the direction of his girlfriend Taylor Swift’s apartment. Kelce’s family also sat in a suite at Highmark Stadium with Swift.
Swift, 34, has been known to make a heart shape with her hands while performing “Fearless” during her Eras tour, and her fans often use the gesture.
The Kansas City Chiefs player, 34, caught a pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes — their 15th combined postseason touchdown pass of their careers — and ran the ball into the end zone.
Swift was spotted cheering on Kelce’s big moment with her mom Donna Kelce, dad Ed Kelce and older brother Jason Kelce, who took off his shirt and yelled for his sibling after the touchdown. The “Love Story” singer’s friend, model and actress Cara Delevingne, was also at Sunday’s game.
