The energy at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday was electric as Travis Kelce made history with a touchdown that shattered NFL records, and the surprise reaction from Taylor Swift and her family made the moment even more iconic. As Travis Kelce broke a record during the Kansas City Chiefs’ AFC Divisional Round win over the Houston Texans, the celebration went beyond the field—it was a family affair.
Jason Kelce, who was seen standing behind Taylor Swift in the stands, was caught in the excitement when Travis scored. As the stadium erupted in cheers, Swift and her family—joined by WNBA star Caitlyn Clark—celebrated wildly. Taylor’s dad, Scott, turned around to cheer and high-five Jason, while Caitlyn Clark also joined in on the fun. Taylor herself leaped up in joy, hugging Clark as they celebrated the touchdown. It was a heartwarming moment that showed the depth of the Kelce family’s connection and the support of Taylor and her inner circle.
In what was arguably one of Travis’ best games of the season, the Chiefs star became the all-time leader in postseason games with over 100 yards, achieving the feat during his ninth career game with over 100 yards in the postseason. Travis led the Chiefs with seven receptions, 117 yards, and a touchdown in the 23-14 win against the Texans. Despite being 35 years old, which is considered ancient by NFL standards, Travis continues to perform at a high level, solidifying his legacy as a future Hall of Famer.

After the game, a reporter asked Travis how he felt about his performance, to which he gave a lighthearted response: “22, baby, 22.” This was a nod to his girlfriend Taylor Swift’s hit song “22,” which has become an anthem for the couple. Travis also acknowledged the importance of the Chiefs’ bye week, which allowed him to rest and recover, and he expressed gratitude for the chance to perform at his best in playoff football.
But it wasn’t just about the game stats. Travis’ achievements extend beyond the field. His late third-quarter catch made him the only player in NFL history to record 100 receptions in seven consecutive seasons, including postseason games. He also joined Jerry Rice as the only players to surpass 2,000 career receiving yards in the postseason. As he continues to break records, Travis has proven that age is just a number, as his stats remain impressive even at 35 years old.
Back in the stands, Taylor Swift’s presence added an extra layer of magic to the moment. She was spotted in a chic, all-black ensemble by Chanel, joining her parents, Scott and Andrea, as well as her brother Austin. Sitting in Travis’ VIP suite, Taylor erupted with joy at his touchdown, and the moment was shared with Caitlyn Clark, who was equally thrilled to witness the historic moment.
Meanwhile, Jason Kelce—who was in the booth watching the game—couldn’t have been prouder of his younger brother. During an ESPN segment, Jason reflected on Travis’ evolution, both as a player and as a leader for the Chiefs. He spoke about the privilege of watching Travis grow from an enthusiastic rookie to a respected veteran, a leader that his teammates look up to. “He’s such a competitor,” Jason said. “And he’s surrounded by like-minded individuals who push him to be better.”
Jason, who retired from the NFL after an illustrious career with the Philadelphia Eagles, spoke with admiration about his brother’s leadership on the team and the respect he commands across the league. While Jason didn’t speculate on when Travis might retire, he highlighted the important role Travis continues to play for the Chiefs, especially as they pursue a historic third consecutive Super Bowl victory.

As for Taylor, she’s not just cheering from the sidelines—she’s been an integral part of the Kelce family’s support system. Her presence at the game, alongside her family and friends, symbolizes her growing connection to Travis and his family. The love and admiration between Travis and Taylor were palpable during the game, and it’s clear that their relationship has only deepened over time.
Looking ahead, the Chiefs will play next Sunday night against the winner of the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens, with hopes of advancing to the Super Bowl for a chance at their third consecutive championship. The excitement is palpable, and with Taylor Swift continuing to support Travis, there’s no telling what other historic moments we can expect from the couple and the Chiefs.
As Travis continues to shatter records and achieve greatness, it’s evident that he’s not only a star on the field but also a leader who inspires his team—and his family—to aim for the stars. And with Taylor by his side, there’s no doubt that they’re ready to take on whatever challenges come next, both on and off the field.
