Chiefs fans went home happy from Thursday’s NFL Kickoff Game after seeing KC knock off the Ravens 27-20.

One family was buzzing over the victory and their interaction with superstar singer Taylor Swift.

Instagram user Jenny Mosier shared a story on her Instagram account of the interaction with Swift, who was in a suite cheering on boyfriend Travis Kelce, the Chiefs’ star tight end.

Kelce’s dad, Ed, was seated next to Swift.

WHAT A GAME! Awesome season opener with a Chiefs win!” Mosier wrote. “We had such a blast! ... Yes, we were very focused on watching the whole game — so intense my goodness — but also YES I was totally in awe by being so close to Taylor who was just behind us in Travis’s suite. My heart was literally pounding when she talked to Lila!! And complimented the custom jacket I made for the concerts in Zurich (caught on video!). Ed Kelce is a gem — such a kind man. I have such love for their family from all I’ve observed from afar and listening to Jason and Travis on their podcast every week etc. And then Ed was so sweet and gave some M&Ms from the suite to Lila and a little girl sitting by us. Lila said she is keeping that M&M box forever!! Thank you @papakelce !

“Such a great night that we will all remember. I still cannot believe that ending!!! GO CHIEFS! LET’S DO THIS!!!!”

“So High School” is the song on Swift’s new album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” that is about Kelce.
