Taylor Swift Supports Travis Kelce After He Breaks Chiefs Touchdown Record During Christmas Day Game

Travis Kelce broke the Chiefs franchise record for receiving touchdowns on Christmas Day. The 34-year-old tight end received his 77th touchdown during the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, helping his team to a 29-10 victory. This milestone passes Tony Gonzalez's previous record of 76 touchdowns, PEOPLE reported.

Kelce's record-breaking reception occurred in the fourth quarter on a 12-yard grab. The NFL confirmed this new record. Kelce now leads in receiving touchdowns among franchise players, ahead of renowned names like Otis Taylor, Tyreek Hill, and Chris Burford.

The Kansas City Chiefs acknowledged this achievement via an Instagram post featuring Kelce's image and the phrase "most receiving touchdowns." Taylor Swift, though not present at the game, supported him by liking the team's celebratory message that congratulated Kelce.

The Chiefs' Instagram caption humorously remarked, "If you ever can’t find Travis, chances are he’s in the end zone." Many fans and teammates praised Kelce following this career milestone, including admirer Jody Fortson, who celebrated with a goat emoji.

Just days before, Swift attended the Chiefs vs. Texans game, where she cheered for Kelce while wearing festive red attire. Her outfit included a fluffy red Charlotte Simone winter coat, black pants, knee-high boots, and a red Tod's bag.

Kelce is having a standout season in both franchise and league history. He set another milestone with a 19-yard reception in late November. This achievement made him the tight end with the third-most receiving yards ever in the NFL, surpassing Antonio Gates.

Tony Gonzalez, who previously held some of Kelce’s records, commented on Kelce's accomplishments during an interview on "The Kelly Clarkson Show." He acknowledged Kelce’s impressive stats, including his 11,000 receiving yards achieved in the fewest games. Gonzalez still holds the tight end record for overall receiving yards in the NFL.

Gonzalez appreciated the new attention brought to the NFL thanks to Taylor Swift. He shared humorous yet genuine anecdotes about young fans who now recognize him through Kelce's connection with Swift. He remarked positively about the fresh audience Swift has brought to the sport.
