A four-second video clip of Taylor Swift enthusiastically wiggling her hips while watching her boyfriend Travis Kelce play with his NFL team has gone viral online.
Pop superstar Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Kelce became one of Hollywood’s hottest celebrity couples after going public with their romance in September. At the time, Swift captured headlines when she attended a Chiefs game alongside her partner’s mother, Donna Kelce.
Swift went on to become a fixture at Chiefs games during the season, with NFL broadcasts often mentioning her presence. As such, a number moments where Swift was caught on camera at Kelce’s games have become viral talking points.
This week, one fan pulled up video footage of Swift watching Kelce in action as she stood in a VIP suite with a group of friends that included Gossip Girl alum Blake Lively. In the clip, Swift was seen leaning over to Lively as they watched the game.
With her hands clasped together, Swift then briefly wiggled her hips, seemingly in reaction to spotting her athlete partner on the field.
Captioning the brief footage on X, formerly Twitter, the fan wrote: “You guys remember this little move Taylor done when she spotted Travis during the 2nd game she attended.”
As of press time, the clip has garnered more than 550,000 views.
In the midst of her Eras Tour, Swift flew from Japan to Nevada to cheer on Kelce at February’s Super Bowl LVIII. The Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers to secure a second consecutive Super Bowl victory. The win gave Kelce his third Super Bowl ring.

Swift’s support of Kelce last season brought a flood of media attention—much to the exasperation of some football fans.
“I’m just there to support Travis,” Swift told Time in an interview in late 2023. “I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and p****** off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”
Addressing the cameras often panning her way, Swift said: “I don’t know how they know what suite I’m in. There’s a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don’t know where it is, and you have no idea when [the] camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once.”
“Football is awesome, it turns out,” Swift added (“playfully,” according to Sam Lansky, the author of the story). “I’ve been missing out my whole life.”
Swift has dominated social media chatter in recent days, following the release of her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poet’s Department, on Friday, April 19. Her fans—known as Swifties—have since worked to dissect the star’s lyrics,
They quickly came to the theory that the song called “The Alchemy” was a nod to her NFL player beau. “The Alchemy” features lyrics about touchdowns, winning streaks and trophies. One meme joked that Swift must have rushed straight to the studio soon after the Super Bowl to record the track.
