Taylor Swift shouted her out boyfriend’s Super Bowl aspirations Sunday in the building where pro football’s next champion will be crowned a little more than three months from now.
During her performance of “Midnight Rain” at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, she mimicked boyfriend Travis Kelce’s signature first down gesture, then kissed her hand and flashed three fingers. It was a move many fans took as a nod to Kelce and his Kansas City Chiefs as they seek a third consecutive Super Bowl victory.
The NFL’s championship game is set for Feb. 9 in that same building where Swift played — and by early Monday morning, her team appeared to confirm she was talking football and sending good karma toward the Chiefs.
The Taylor Nation account on X — closely affiliated with Swift’s camp — wrote, “She’s blessing that stadium with her Tayvoodoo or whatever,” along with a magic wand emoji and a football emoji.
Swift and that boy on the football team have been dating for more than a year, in one of pop culture’s most closely watched relationships.
Kelce’s 2024 campaign had been off to a slow start before he appeared to break out shortly before his girlfriend’s New Orleans shoutout.
He caught 10 passes for 90 yards and a touchdown in Kansas City’s 27-20 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
Those catches and yards on Sunday — in the same building where K.C. repeated as Super Bowl champs back in February — were single-game, season highs for Kelce. And that drought-breaking scoring grab marked Kelce’s first visit to the holy ground this season.
