Travis Kelce Reveals Why He Did The Heart-Hand Pose During Chiefs Game

During the Kansas City Chiefs vs Buffalo Bills NFL playoff game, Travis Kelce did Taylor Swift's signature heart-hand pose after he scored a touchdown, and the video has now gone viral.

As you may know, when Taylor Swift arrived at Highmark Stadium in Buffalo, New York to cheer on Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs, she was met with "boos" from Bills Mafia (the Bills fan base.) She didn't seem to mind as she continued to wave and smile at the crowd as she made her way into the stadium.

The pop icon has attended several of Travis's NFL games to cheer him on, and in doing so, she has received a lot of backlash, especially from the “dads, Brads, and Chads.”

Taylor doesn't seem to let it bother her though, as in a TIME Magazine interview, she admitted, "I have no awareness of if I'm being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”

On Sunday night, Taylor was seen in a private VIP box alongside Travis's brother, Jason, his sister-in-law, Kylie, his mom, Donna, and Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

As the group cheered on the Chiefs, they watched Travis Kelce score two touchdowns, one of which he celebrated by throwing up Taylor's signature heart-hand sign.

After scoring his touchdown, Travis Kelce "spread the love" to Bills Mafia by showing them the heart-shaped sign. He and his brother, Jason Kelce, discussed how that celebration went viral.

“The celebration went wild by you with the little heart,” the tight end’s brother said on Wednesday’s episode of their 'New Heights' podcast.

Travis replied by admitting, “Yeah, man, had to spread the love, baby. You always gotta spread that love, baby."

The 34-year-old said he wanted to "spread the love" after he received “a lot of hate” from Bills Mafia when he arrived at Highmark Stadium.

“Understandably. It’s a football game. The Bills, coming into their house, they want to make it rowdy,” Travis acknowledged before adding, “Did it get a little disrespectful? One thousand percent.”

Bills Mafia got “a little extra” but he decided to keep things neutral. “I’m not going to relay it, but some things were said about the family. Some pretty inappropriate things were said about Pat Mahomes,” the tight-end said of the Chiefs’ quarterback and his close friend. “It was pretty wack.”

Travis then concluded by referring to his heart-hand celebration once again, saying, “I just wanted to make sure [they] knew it wasn’t mutual,” he said. “I don’t hate you guys like you hate us. It’s all love, baby.”

The Kansas City Chiefs beat out the Buffalo Bills 27-24, advancing the team to the next round of the playoffs. They will face the Baltimore Ravens this weekend. If they win, they make it to the Super Bowl.
