As a long-time gamer of both Taylor Swift’s musical career and the NFL (though admittedly, my fantasy football team could use some work), I have to say that the latest speculation about Taylor Swift’s performance during her Eras Tour has me hooked!

Fans of Taylor Swift are abuzz with theories that her latest show on the Eras Tour might have included a nod to Travis Kelce. During her performance, certain gestures and actions from Swift have sparked conversations among her fans, also known as Swifties, about whether she could have been acknowledging Kelce’s touchdown during the game.

In this piece, we’ll delve into the possibility that Taylor Swift honored Travis Kelce’s touchdown on the 27th of October.

Did Taylor Swift pay tribute to Travis Kelce’s touchdown on October 27?

During her Eras Tour concert at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on October 27, Taylor Swift appeared to pay tribute to Travis Kelce’s first touchdown of the NFL season. Eagle-eyed fans recognized that Swift imitated Kelce’s distinctive first-down celebration while performing ‘Midnight Rain.’ She raised her index fingers like Kelce does for a touchdown and then kissed her three middle fingers, a gesture similar to his touchdown celebration. Some fans believed this was a lucky charm for Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs, who are hoping to achieve a potential Super Bowl three-peat in February.

On the day following Travis Kelce’s first touchdown of the season, Swift seemed to pay homage to him. During her performance on October 26, she was spotted mouthing “touchdown” and mimicking a football throw, adding to the rumors. It turned out that Kelce had scored a 5-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes during the Chiefs’ match against the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium on October 27. In celebration, he dove headfirst into the end zone.

This touchdown marked a significant moment for Kelce, ending a 12-game regular-season drought without a score. The Chiefs took a three-point lead following his touchdown, winning the game 27-20. Kelce concluded the match with an impressive 10 receptions and 90 yards.
