Travis Kelce Scores Touchdown to Massive Cheers from Taylor Swift as She Watches from His Suite
Swift was seen jumping up and down and enthusiastically cheering and clapping in his suite after Kelce put the Kansas City Chiefs up 41-0
Travis Kelce knew he needed to put on a good show with Taylor Swift sitting in his suite for Kansas City Chiefs' game Sunday, and the tight end made it happen with a dominant touchdown.
Kelce, 33, caught the ball in the back of the end zone with around seven minutes to go in the third quarter, putting the Chiefs up 41-0 over the Chicago Bears. The NFL star celebrated with a dance, while Swift, also 33, was seen jumping up and down and enthusiastically cheering and clapping in his suite.
Rumors have swirled the last few weeks that the "Anti-Hero" singer and the two-time Super Bowl champion are dating, and were brought to a furor on Sunday with Swift at his game. The superstar was frequently shown chatting and laughing with his mom, Donna Kelce, and cheering while decked out in a red-and-white Chiefs jacket.
Representatives for Swift and Kelce have not responded to recent requests for comment from PEOPLE.

Kelce addressed the buzz for the first time on Thursday, telling Pat McAfee during an appearance onThe Pat McAfee Show that he recently "threw the ball in her court."
The tight end said he told Swift, "I've seen you rock the stage at Arrowhead [Stadium]. You might have to come see me rock the stage at Arrowhead and see which one's a little more lit," before adding to McAfee, "we'll see what happens in the near future."
That near future turned out to be three days later, when Swift was spotted in his suite.
Kelce first publicly shared that he had a crush on the Grammy winner in July, after attending her Eras Tour concert in Kansas City, Missouri. He talked on his podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, co-hosted by his brother Jason, about how he had hoped to meet her and exchange phone numbers after the show.
But Kelce — who had hoped to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his number on it, said he was out of luck.
"I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings," Kelce explained, while adding that he was “a little butthurt” that he was unable to execute his plan at the time.
