Travis Kelce has declared his love to Taylor Swift for the first time, with microphones catching him embracing his girlfriend – and telling her: ‘I love you.’
Immediately after the Chiefs’ huge win in Baltimore, Swift came down to the field and the pair shared a very public and passionate kiss, with the world’s cameras upon them.
In that immediate embrace, it has been suggested that Taylor said ‘I love you’ to Travis without him verbally reciprocating the gesture.
But a new clip has now surfaced, with the NFL’s microphones following Kelce around the field, in which he does indeed say the L-word to his girlfriend.
Meeting her for a second time on the field, Travis approaches Taylor to say: ‘Tay, I’m going to enjoy with the guys’… before kissing her again and declaring: ‘I love you.’
The high-profile pair then share a tight hug, before Swift tries to create some privacy by whispering something into Kelce’s ear. As the pair break apart, she then says ‘EVER’.
it is the first time cameras have caught the pair publicly declaring their love for each other, with their relationship now four months old.
Swift has attended 12 of Kelce’s games this season, and is now expected to make it 13 – her lucky number – at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas in a fortnight’s time.
In the game itself on Sunday night, Kelce was in incredible form once again, catching all 11 passes thrown his way – and he opened the scoring with a touchdown, too.
Making the Super Bowl is also well-worn territory for the superstar tight end, who will play in his fifth showpiece over the last four seasons on February 11 in Las Vegas.
The future Hall of Famer also surpassed Jerry Rice for the top spot on the NFL’s all-time postseason receptions list on Sunday night in Baltimore.
Swift, meanwhile, now turns her attention to four nights of her blockbuster Eras Tour in Japan’s capital from February 7-10 before now having to race back to the Allegiant Stadium for the biggest night in America’s sporting calendar. But she is expected to make the journey to be there for Kelce.
She and Travis took center-stage for the post-game celebrations but during the showdown itself, the singer looked frustrated at appearing on the CBS coverage around the midway stage.
She could be seen clearly saying ‘go away, please’ with the camera lingering on her in a VIP suite while advertising next weekend’s Grammy Awards.
She’s going to have to accept it on February 11, though, given she will travel thousands of miles to make the game.
The 17-hour time difference works in her favor on her return to the US from Japan and it will be the 13th Chiefs game this season that Swift will have cheered the team on for – her lucky number.
But with luck on their side or not, judging by Sunday’s showing Kelce and his Chiefs are going to take some stopping after a frankly sensational 17-10 win in Baltimore – the team that most people felt were nailed on to win the Super Bowl altogether, let alone the game today.
Kelce scored a touchdown in the first quarter and went on to pass Jerry Rice’s NFL postseason record of 151 receptions in another magnificent, career-defining display.
Swift was joined by Cara Delevingne in the VIP suite where she cheered the Chiefs on to victory – Jason Kelce was also there, as well as Travis’s parents Donna and Ed.
Travis’s older brother was seen high-fiving friends in the suite after his brother got his touchdowns but his celebrations were extremely subdued compared to the wild scenes last weekend in Buffalo.
The two brothers also had a moment on the field, with the older Kelce wearing a Chiefs beanie hat across the course of the day as he cheered Kansas City on. It one heartwarming picture, Swift was seen looking on and smiling as the Kelce bros shared a laugh together on the field.
‘Finish this motherf***er,’ Jason told Travis as they embraced. The older Kelce brother would later address his own future in the NFL in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.Com.
Now, they will all clear their calendar and head to Vegas in two weeks as the Chiefs bid to win the Super Bowl for a second straight season and round out a fairytale campaign that has seen Travis and Taylor become America’s favorite and most famous couple.
Kelce is widely considered as one of, if not the very best, in his position of tight end in NFL history and is now going for his third Super Bowl title.
‘The Chiefs are still the Chiefs,’ Travis said in brief comments on the field after making 11 receptions on top of his touchdown. ‘And believe it – you’ve got to fight for your right to party! Believe it, baby, we’re going to Las Vegas.’
