Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce’s Game Day Tradition Is Too Cute To Handle

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are proving to be the ultimate power couple, and their adorable game day tradition is just another reason fans can’t get enough of them.

The chart-topping pop icon and the NFL superstar have a sweet pre-game ritual that highlights their undeniable bond, and fans have former Kansas City Chiefs cheerleader Stefanie Hill to thank for spilling some of the behind-the-scenes details.

Hill, who cheered for the Super Bowl-defending Kansas City Chiefs for six seasons, has seen it all—from championship appearances to the blossoming love story between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.

In a TikTok video, Hill offered a glimpse into the couple’s relationship, including the sweet tradition Swift follows in support of Kelce.

Hill reminisced about the first Chiefs game Swift attended on September 24, 2023, at the start of romance rumors between the pop star and the football player. “The very first game she ever attended, I almost pooped myself when I was in that corner,” Hill joked in her TikTok. She admitted it was difficult to focus, saying, "I don't know how to do my job right now because I have to watch the game, lead the chants and cheers and dances."

"I physically cannot focus because I'm like, 'That is Taylor Swift!'" she added.

To add to the pressure, Hill revealed that the Chiefs cheer squad performed one of her choreographed routines during the game. “We performed my choreography in the end zone. I looked up, and no joke, she was on the screen clapping,” Hill shared.

"And I was like, 'She just watched our team dance and is now applauding, and she liked my choreography,'" she recalled. "If she didn't like it, she wouldn't have clapped. So that was pretty cool."

Hill also detailed how Swift would support Kelce after games. As the cheerleader locker room was right next to the players’ locker room at Arrowhead Stadium, Hill often caught glimpses of Swift. “All those pictures of her game day outfits walking down red tunnels are right next to the players’ locker rooms, which is right next door to the Chiefs cheer locker room,” she explained. "There were so many close encounters."

She added, “At the end of the game, she would always meet Travis by the locker room.”

Hill revealed that she and the cheer squad weren’t immune to fangirling over Swift. “There was one game that we were like, ‘We just have to wait here. I’m sure we’re gonna see her walk by,’” she laughed. The squad even huddled together in hopes of getting a picture with the superstar. “We were waiting for a really long time. I’m not even a Swiftie, and I was crawled down in the front waiting to take my picture with her,” she added with a smile.

By the end of her TikTok, Hill expressed her admiration for Swift and her involvement with the Chiefs. “Overall, I was a huge fan of having her a part of Chiefs Kingdom,” she concluded.

The Kansas City Chiefs Cheerleaders have a unique and meaningful way of celebrating their team's success: tattoos. This "crazy tradition" was revealed by Hill in a TikTok video shared at the end of the 2023-2024 season.

Every time the Chiefs make it to the Super Bowl, the cheerleaders gather for a group tattoo session to commemorate the occasion. "We have this crazy tradition where we get tattoos every time we go to a Super Bowl. Last year, we went to Definitive Tattoo Gallery and we absolutely loved it, so we're back!"

Hill, a veteran of the squad, was marking her fourth Super Bowl appearance and getting her fourth tattoo in celebration. "Once I got inside, all my teammates were already there. This was my fourth Super Bowl appearance, so that means tattoo number four today," she revealed. Her latest ink featured a Roman numeral representing the Super Bowl year and an arrowhead symbol as a tribute to the Chiefs' iconic stadium.

The tradition isn’t mandatory, as Hill clarified in the video. "It is not a requirement to get a tattoo and there is absolutely no pressure," she said. "However, I would say the majority of our team got tatted today."

Even non-cheerleaders got in on the fun. Hill noted that their athletic trainer, Michaela, joined the tradition, opting for a Vegas-themed tattoo that included the number 34 to represent the 34 members of the team.
