The NFL honored its most famous fan, Taylor Swift, with a sweet TikTok tribute on her 35th birthday Friday.

The 31-second video is a Valentine to Swift’s romance with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

It begins by showing Swift arriving at the Chiefs’ game last month against the Las Vegas Raiders at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Alongside is Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce.

Set to a cover of John Legend’s “All of Me,” the video shows clips of Kelce scoring touchdowns and blowing kisses and flashing hand-hearts from the field.

It shows Swift and Kelce leaving Arrowhead together hand-in-hand for the first time last year when they announced to the world they were a couple.

It shows Kelce performing on stage with Swift in June during one of her Eras Tour shows in London, and the Hollywood moment in Buenos Aires where she rushed into his arms for a post-concert hug and kiss.

It also shows her cheering the Chiefs at Arrowhead and their Super Bowl smooch on the field in Las Vegas after the Chiefs won their second championship in a row.

Swift’s fans are loving it.

“Never did I think the NFL tik tok would make me cry. Yet here we are,” commented one.
