A euphoric Travis Kelce kissed girlfriend Taylor Swift on the field in Las Vegas after winning a breathtaking Super Bowl for the Kansas City Chiefs against San Francisco 49ers. Swift blew kisses to Kelce as screamed ‘VIVA LAS VEGAS’ in a victory speech with his hands on the Vince Lombardi trophy.
As soon as he left the stage, Kelce made his way straight over to Swift. He hugged his mom Donna first before he passionately embraced his pop star girlfriend. ‘Come here, girl,’ Kelce appeared to call out to Swift, who herself looked close to tears, before they hugged and kissed.
The singer had raced back to Vegas from Tokyo, Japan where she had played four straight nights on her Eras Tour. Kelce, meanwhile, faced a build-up like no other to the biggest game of them all with relentless questions about his girlfriend and the relationship that has taken the world by storm since they went public at a Chiefs game back in September.
When he spoke about football, Kelce said he relished the ‘villain’ status his team were branded with. He also joked he wanted to win his own piece of silverware after Swift picked up multiple Grammys in Los Angeles last weekend.
‘I want this one more than I’ve ever wanted a Super Bowl before in my life,’ Kelce said before the game. But on the night itself in Vegas, Kelce appeared to take that mantra too far in the second quarter, in scenes that would have even made Swift feel uneasy.
Kelce shoved and screamed at his coach, 65-year-old Andy Reid, when he left Kelce out of a play in the second quarter that ended with Isiah Pacheco fumbling the ball.
‘I’m a keep that between us,’ Kelce said when questioned after the game over what he said to Reid. ‘I was just telling him how much I love him.’
The game finished tied at 19-19 and the 49ers scored a field goal to take a narrow three-point lead. But Mahomes hauled his team up the field, with help from right-hand man Kelce, and found Mecole Hardman for the touchdown that won the Super Bowl.
