Travis Kelce may have just won the Internet’s hearts with this one move. The Chiefs may have won over the Bills on Sunday. But Kelce won his beau Taylor Swift’s heart. How? On Sunday, the 34-year-old made a gesture on the gridiron. What’s so special about a symbol? Well, this symbol means a lot to Swift.
So, when did he make this sign? And what is the deep meaning behind it? She has limited time left with him. Soon the singing sensation will be off on her Eras Tour. It’s set to resume from Tokyo. But she knows she has this sweet memory to take with her.

Kelce is out there showing some heart on the gridiron. If you’ve been following him for the past couple of months, you’d know one thing. He’s not playing at his best. However, something changed during the Bills game. Kelce is back in form, it seems. The highlight came when he caught a pass from his best chum, Patrick Mahomes. He ran straight into the end zone, and guess what? Touchdown!

Right then, he made a gesture towards his girlfriend. How? He turned and made a heart sign with his thumbs and index fingers. Now, if you’re a Swiftie, you’d already know what this means. But for the uninitiated into Swift-isms, let’s decode it. And this from Taylor herself. “The heart-hand symbol means something between ‘I love you’ and ‘thank you,’” she had revealed way back in 2011.
Did it come to her spontaneously? Not really. She revealed that she had tried out various moves that would elicit a response from the audience. This one did, and she just stuck with it. But someone else was present at the game as well. And when Travis scored his TD, this person lost their calm.
Jason Kelce’s reaction goes viral
Travis was trumped by his brother in celebrating his win. Jason, who was sitting in the VIP box, ripped his shirt off. Then he climbed the stands, shouting with joy and excitement. With the shirt gone, all that remained above his torso was his red beanie. The Chiefs did not let this moment go to waste. They took to X and posted the video on their account. And it soon became the video on everyone’s lips.

“NO. 1 HYPE MAN,” the caption on the video read. And you’ve got to remember the fact that it was about -3 C. But not even that could prevent him from celebrating his brother’s touchdown. What about his wife? Kylie could be seen behind him, just smiling at her husband’s antics.
