Taylor Swift Celebrates Travis Kelce’s Touchdown with Subtle Tribute on Stage

At her recent concert on October 27 in New Orleans, Taylor Swift appeared to honor boyfriend Travis Kelce’s impressive achievement—scoring his first touchdown of the NFL season. Swift, 34, was performing at the Caesars Superdome when she seemingly channeled Kelce’s signature first down gesture, delighting her Swifties in attendance.

During her performance of “Midnight Rain,” she pointed her index fingers skyward, echoing Kelce’s celebrated pose. Fans took note as she kissed her three middle fingers and blew a kiss into the air, a gesture many interpreted as a hopeful nod for Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs to secure a third consecutive Super Bowl win.

Swift’s fans were quick to connect the dots. One enthusiastic supporter on X wrote, “Taylor just did Travis Kelce’s first down signal on stage and then sealed it with a 3-peat finger kiss. You can’t make this up!” Even Swift’s fan page, Taylor Nation, joined in, commenting on her “Tayvoodoo” magic.

The day before, Swift had playfully mouthed “touchdown” and mimicked a football pass during her concert, just hours before Kelce scored against the Las Vegas Raiders. This touchdown marked a significant moment, as it was his first in 13 regular-season games. The Chiefs won the game 27-20, with Kelce finishing with 10 receptions and 90 yards, further cementing his status as a tight end legend.

In addition to celebrating her man, Swift’s gestures have fans believing she might have played a role in manifesting Kelce’s touchdown. As one fan put it, “Taylor Swift put some spell on Travis Kelce!”
