Kelce expressed gratitude for the Patriots' gesture, interpreting it as a demonstration of love for Swift, especially considering her earlier remark about the stadium being one of the "funnest" she had performed in.

Recalling the moment when the actress appeared on the big screen during the game, the 34-year-old jokingly shared his attempt to keep his composure, saying, "I was trying to keep my cool. I was like, 'Don't show your cards, don't show your cards.' It was fun, man. Shout out to the Patriots, New England."

Even his brother, Jason, chimed in, expressing awe at the incredible reception, saying, "That's pretty awesome." Despite being together for a while now, Swift has encountered challenges within the football fan community.

The TV personality's presence at most of her boyfriend's games has become a point of disagreement among sports enthusiasts, with some perceiving her presence as a distraction.
