Travis Kelce's Taylor Swift Move Sends Internet Into Meltdown

A PDA (public display of affection) between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift has sent her fans into overdrive.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end has been accompanying Swift on parts of the European leg of her record-breaking The Eras Tour and even joined her on stage in London.

At some recent shows, Kelce has waited for the songstress at the back of the stage to walk with her after the concert has ended, during which time he has hyped up the crowd to cheer for Swift.

But it was a tender moment at her second show in Amsterdam that went viral on social media.

Kelce was seen throwing his arms up in the air to ask the crowd to cheer, as Swift waved to the crowd.

When he was done waving his arms, he embraced Swift by placing his arm around her neck and bringing her in to give her a kiss on the head.

The video was shared to X, formerly Twitter, including by the fan account @ThrowbackTaylor, where it received almost 950,000 views.

"THIS IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE VIDEO LOOK AT HOW HAPPY THEYRE AND THE HEAD KISS!!!!!!!" the account wrote.

Elsewhere on X, the fan account Taylor Swift Updates also shared the video and got 1.9 million views.

"THE HYPE MAN THE HEAD KISS 🥹🤍 Travis and Taylor tonight, Amsterdam N2," it captioned the post.

Fans loved the moment and made their feelings known in the replies on X.

"They make me so happy whenever I see them happy together," wrote @travellover28.

"I really love him for her... am always in awe and amazed at how he shows his love for her," commented @annabellebesab1.

"Dude, I'm freaking out! The Head Kiss is going down in Amsterdam tonight with Travis Scott and Taylor Swift?! This is gonna be a wild ride! Can't wait to see what kind of magic they bring to the stage," replied @xoguhe.

Kelce opened up on his Eras cameo during a recent episode of his New Heights podcast, which he hosts with his brother and former Philadelphia Eagles player Jason Kelce.

"I was just like, 'What? I would love to do that, are you kidding me? I've seen the show enough — might as well put me to work here,'" said the NFL star — who has attended Eras Tour shows across Asia, Australia, Europe and the U.S. "And sure enough, she found the perfect part of the show for me to come in."

Kelce appeared during an opening skit of "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart," where he carried Swift who had pretended to faint and placed her on a sofa in the middle of the stage, placing her on the prop couch.

"The one thing I told myself is: 'Do not drop the baby. Do not drop Taylor on your way over to this damn couch,'" he said. "I was gonna do some extra stuff — and who knows, maybe if I ever do it again, I might do it — but the golden rule was to not drop Taylor."
