Travis Kelce shared a touching moment with his mom and girlfriend Taylor Swift after reaching the Super Bowl.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end didn’t light up the box score but still played a huge role in a thrilling win over the Buffalo Bills.

In the fourth quarter, he put his 35-year-old body on the line to bulldoze a path through the Bills defense for quarterback Patrick Mahomes to score his second rushing touchdown.
“I loved the way you blocked for Patrick in the end zone,” said his mom Donna in behind-the-scenes footage.
“I’m trying to win a third one mom,” Kelce replied as the Chiefs eye an unprecedented third title in a row. “I’m doing anything I possibly can. I’ll run through a wall.”
Swift has seen Kelce win the AFC Championship before.
But last season’s win over the Baltimore Ravens was on the road.
This year, she got to see Arrowhead – a stadium she has sold out – at its very best.
“Oh my god this is so insane. Look at this, this is not a real-life situation,” she said.
“It wasn’t like this in Baltimore last year,” added Travis.
Fans piled into what was an unusually positive set of replies about the Chiefs and their most high-profile fan.
“This woman literally filled up the same stadium so many times. And yet she feels gagged by the celebration,” posted one.
Swift could not believe the wild scenes[/caption]
“I know people hate on them, but 2 massive celebrities that have been to the top of their respective journeys, but they still stop to enjoy these moments and understand the magnitude of them,” added another.
“My goodness this is adorable,” a third wrote.
“Such a good team. The haters can’t even handle it, they are coping and seething so hard. It’s hilarious,” said a fourth.
The end of the video sees Kelce’s superstar teammate Chris Jones head over and share a warm embrace.
Travis’ brother Jason is a Philadelphia Eagles legend and says he will be rooting for both teams in New Orleans.
Jason, who spent his entire 13-year NFL career in Philadelphia and lost to Travis in Super Bowl LVII, wore an Eagles jacket and visor on the latest episode of their New Heights podcast.

“Here’s the biggest thing. Obviously, you’re my brother. I’ll always root for my brother. That’s the reality of it,” he said.
“Even though I’m decked out in Eagles gear, I’m always rooting for Travis.
“But, there’s a lot of people in the Philadelphia organization — whether it’s players, coaches, people in the building — that feel like extended family to me, especially my former offensive linemen.
“Like (right tackle) Lane Johnson feels like a brother in a lot of ways. I’m rooting for those guys too. I’m rooting for Philadelphia and I’m rooting for Travis Kelce. That’s the reality of it.
“No matter what on game day, I’m going to be happy for one of those sides and I’m going to be sad for the other side.”
Swift was born in Reading, Pennsylvania, and confirmed at a concert in 2023 that she supported the Eagles.
But Chiefs megafan and WNBA icon Caitlin Clark insists Taylor is now a passionate Kansas City supporter after watching the win over the Bills with her.
“I’m a huge Chiefs fan and Taylor is a huge Chiefs fan,” the 23-year-old said.
“Taylor is very sweet and very kind and it’s a good reminder that people in our position are very normal. We enjoy watching sports and hanging out with our friends. It puts a great perspective of life.
“It’s just cute to see how excited she is for the Chiefs. And getting to share that like, ‘Oh my god, I love this.’ Like, she loves the Chiefs as much as me.”
