Travis Kelce had a big reason to do a happy dance at the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Washington Commanders game on Monday (Oct. 27) — especially with Taylor Swift in the crowd.

After scoring his 100th career touchdown — and his 83rd regular-season touchdown, which tied him with Priest Holmes for the most in the Chiefs’ history — the tight end appeared to replicate his famous fiancée’s “The Fate of Ophelia” choreography in the end zone. Similar to Swift in the music video for the Billboard Hot 100-topping track, Kelce closed his hands into fists and waved his arms up and down in celebration, meanwhile the 14-time Grammy winner excitedly cheered for him from her box suite in the upper level of Arrowhead Stadium.
“He really gave us the whole dance (TD version) AND IM SO GRATEFUL,” one Swiftie wrote on X, sharing a clip of the triumphant moment.
“Omggg he even did the ‘I pledge allegiance’ part??” another fan pointed out, referencing the “Ophelia” lyric, “Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes.”
The account for Travis and older brother Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast also shared a photo of the Grotesquerie star’s big catch and wrote, “Keep it [100] on the land, the sea, and the end zone,” another reference to Swift’s lyrics.
Travis’ milestone comes as the Eras Tour headliner’s new album, The Fate of Ophelia, is spending its third straight week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The project’s success is thanks in part to the virality of “The Fate of Ophelia,” which sparked a TikTok dance trend after Swift shared videos on the app of herself and her dancers doing the choreography.
Despite her busy album rollout, the pop star has been in attendance at her fiancé’s games throughout the season. At Monday’s match-up, she sported a red turtleneck, a matching leather skirt and heeled boots as she watched the game alongside Brittany Mahomes, who is married to quarterback Patrick Mahomes. At one point, Swift acted out swooning, possibly in response to something Travis did on the field.
Of scoring his record-tying touchdown — which also made him the fifth tight end in NFL history to ever reach three digits in TDs — Travis told press shortly after the game, “I just cherish these moments, man, being able to play at Arrowhead.”
“This place is special, man, and I love it here,” he added. “In terms of the historical stuff, I’m still looking at the next game and the next catch and trying to get better.”
