Taylor Swift Loses It After Travis Kelce’s Monster Play Against Commanders
If you thought Monday Night Football couldn’t get any more entertaining, think again. Taylor Swift made sure we all knew she was invested in the Kansas City Chiefs’ matchup against the Washington Commanders, and honestly? Her reactions might’ve been more entertaining than some of the actual plays.
Swift and Mahomes Share an Adorable Moment in the Suite
Let’s set the scene: third quarter, Chiefs leading, and Patrick Mahomes decides to remind everyone why he’s one of the league’s best quarterbacks. He launches a gorgeous 38-yard pass to none other than Travis Kelce, who hauls it in like the veteran tight end he is. The play was stopped when Commanders cornerback Mike Sainristil finally brought Kelce down, but not before the damage was done.
Up in the suite at Arrowhead Stadium, Taylor Swift absolutely lost her mind. And by “lost her mind,” I mean she wrapped Brittany Mahomes (Patrick’s wife) in the most genuine, excited hug you’ve ever seen. The two were jumping, cheering, and basically acting like the rest of us do when our favorite team makes a killer play. It was wholesome, it was real, and it was the kind of moment that reminds you sports are supposed to be fun.
Kelce’s Performance Was Nothing Short of Spectacular
Travis Kelce finished the night with six catches for 99 yards and a touchdown. Not too shabby for a guy who’s been in the league long enough to have seen it all. That 38-yard catch was just one highlight in what turned out to be a dominant performance by the Chiefs, who cruised to a 28-7 victory.
After Kelce’s big catch, running back Kareem Hunt punched in a touchdown just two and a half minutes later, basically putting the final nail in the Commanders’ coffin. But let’s be real—the night belonged to Kelce, who also celebrated one of his scores by busting out the dance from the “Fate of Ophelia” music video. (Yes, he looked at Swift while doing it. Yes, it went viral. And yes, we’re all still talking about it.)

Kelce’s Still Got That Fire
After the game, Kelce sat down with Scott Van Pelt and dropped some gems about why he’s still playing at such a high level. “I’m putting on the pads like I’m 15 years old again,” he said. “I’m loving every single bit of it. Like one of my coaches said, you’re either a fountain or a drain. You’re either giving me life or taking it out of me.”
That’s the kind of attitude that keeps you relevant in the NFL, especially when you’ve been around as long as Kelce has. He’s not just showing up for a paycheck—he’s genuinely enjoying the game, and it shows in his performance.
Patrick Mahomes also had nothing but praise for his tight end. “I mean, he is the guy that was here before me,” Mahomes said. “He’s the guy that is in the building early, in the building late. And he is the leader of this team.” He also hinted that Kelce might be closing in on breaking yet another franchise record, adding, “So to be able to get him that record tying it, let’s go out there and break it now.”
What’s Next for the Chiefs?
The Chiefs will face the Buffalo Bills this coming Sunday, and if Monday night was any indication, they’re firing on all cylinders. Kelce looks rejuvenated, Mahomes is still doing Mahomes things, and the team chemistry—both on and off the field—is undeniable.
And let’s not forget about Swift, who’s clearly become the Chiefs’ unofficial superfan. Her presence in the suite has sparked endless memes, think pieces, and debates about whether her relationship with Kelce is actually good luck for the team. (Spoiler alert: the Chiefs are 9-0 this season, so… you do the math.)
At the end of the day, Monday Night Football gave us everything we could’ve asked for: big plays, wholesome moments, and a reminder that sometimes, the best part of sports isn’t just what happens on the field—it’s the people we share it with.
