Bills spoil Chiefs perfect season by picking off Patrick Mahomes
VIDEO: “THANKSGIVING IN FAILURE” Cameras captured Patrick Mahomes’ epic and defiant 5-word message to Josh Allen after the Bills defeated the Chiefs.
Did Taylor Swift subtly celebrate her man Travis Kelce’s first touchdown of the NFL season during her latest Eras Tour show?
Swifties noticed that the pop star, 34, appeared to channel Kelce by hitting his signature first down gesture during her Sunday, October 27, concert at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
Swift hit Kelce’s celebratory pose, pointing her index fingers in the air while singing “Midnight Rain.” The singer then kissed her three middle fingers and blew them in the air, which fans on social media took to signal a potential Super Bowl three-peat for Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs come February. (The Chiefs have won two consecutive Super Bowls in 2023 and 2024, with Swift in attendance to watch her boyfriend during last February’s big win over the San Francisco 49ers.)
“Taylor swift just did travis kelce’s first down signal on stage and then sealed it with a 3-peat finger kiss send-off to manifest another superbowl win like you simply cannot make this s— up,” one fan shared via X on Sunday.
“Taylor doing Travis’s move when gets a first down and kissing 3 fingers for a three-peat‼️” shared Swift fan account Taylor Swift Updates, alongside a side-by-side video composite of Kelce and Swift hitting his first down pose.

Even Swift’s official X fan page, Taylor Nation, got in on the action, writing: “She’s blessing that stadium with her Tayvoodoo or whatever 🪄 #NOLATSTheErasTour.”
Fans of the singer think she manifested Kelce’s first touchdown of the NFL season during Sunday’s Chiefs game against the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium in Nevada.
On Saturday, October 26, Swift mouthed the word “touchdown” and gestured a football pass during the second of her three shows in New Orleans.
“Travis Kelce got his first regular season touchdown in 13 games, just hours after Taylor Swift did this at her concert. THIS is Tayvoodoo,” wrote a fan via X on Sunday after Kelce’s big moment.

“The Chiefs just secured their 13th consecutive win, and Travis Kelce scored his first touchdown in 13 regular season games. the TD drive was 13 plays, getting the Chiefs their 13th points…a few hours after Taylor screamed TOUCHDOWN at her concert!!” shared the Taylor Swift Updates account.
Another fan wrote, “Taylor Swift put some spell on Travis Kelce.”
The Chiefs tight end caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes to score against the Raiders during Sunday’s game. Sunday also happened to be National Tight Ends Day, and Kelce, 35, celebrated his touchdown by spiking the ball in the endzone.
Kelce caught the touchdown pass in the game’s second quarter. Before Sunday, he had gone 12 games in the regular season without scoring a touchdown pass. This not only marked the first touchdown for Kelce of the season but gave the Chiefs a three-point lead over the Raiders. The Chiefs ultimately took home the victory with a 27-20 win. Kelce finished his Sunday game with 10 receptions and 90 yards.
According to the NFL, this score made Kelce the fifth tight end in NFL history to hit 75 receiving touchdowns. Breaking a tie with former Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten, Kelce is now solidly in fifth place for career touchdowns by a tight end.
