The Chiefs rolled to a 34-point halftime lead over the Chicago Bears during Sunday’s game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, removing any doubt as to which team would win.

But many people were hoping to see the Chiefs do at least one thing in the second half: get a touchdown for tight end Travis Kelce.

That’s because Kelce’s main squeeze, a singer named Taylor Swift, was at Arrowhead Stadium for Sunday’s game.

The Chiefs scratched that item off the to-do list early in the third quarter when Kelce caught a 3-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes.

Fox Sports, which likely had a camera on Swift at all times, shared her reaction. Swift, the biggest music star of 2023, went bonkers when Kelce scored.

Fox Sports broadcaster Kevin Burkhardt quipped: “This may be the first time Patrick Mahomes isn’t the most popular player at Arrowhead.”

Burkhardt wasn’t wrong.
