The music wasn’t the only reason fans descended upon Azura Amphitheater on Saturday night for the second edition of Kelce Jam.

Many wanted just a chance to catch a glimpse of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and some were thrilled when they got a high-five or rubbed shoulders with the Super Bowl champion and boyfriend of superstar singer Taylor Swift.

Those fans are known as Swifties, and one of their favorite pastimes is exchanging friendship bracelets at her Eras Tour concerts. One also had the opportunity to swap bracelets with Kelce on Saturday in Bonner Springs.

That was a cool moment, but an even better one came after the concert began. A young fan brought a sign with the hopes of getting an opportunity to meet Kelce.

That’s just what happened and this Swiftie was clearly thrilled. Kelce even took her phone and snapped a selfie.

This was another sweet scene from the festival.
