Celebrating her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s latest NFL triumph, Taylor Swift gave fans an unexpected treat during her recent performance.

The Grammy-award winning pop sensation changed the lyrics of her song “Karma” to honor Kelce, switching the original line to “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs,” despite the fact that Kelce wasn’t in attendance that night. 

This marked the first time the “Cruel Summer” hitmaker made the lyrical swap without her NFL star boyfriend in the crowd, a gesture typically reserved for when he’s present.

The Chiefs had secured a victory over the San Francisco 49ers earlier that day, and the atmosphere was already buzzing with excitement.

Before the concert kicked off, the Chiefs-49ers game was broadcast throughout the stadium, showing just how supportive Swift was of her boyfriend’s team.

Fans noticed the connection as the energy of the game carried over into Swift’s performance, creating a memorable night for both music and football lovers in attendance.

One fan posted a video writing, “She said that’s my 6-0 baby and I’m proud,” with one fan replied, “Looks like someone’s taking the win home! Can I get a ‘6-0’ chant in.”

Though Kelce wasn’t there to witness the tribute in person, the lyric change became a moment fans won’t forget. It was a testament to Swift’s playful and heartfelt way of acknowledging her relationship, blending her musical prowess with her support for Kelce’s football career.

As Swift continues her tour and the Chiefs remain on their winning streak, this little crossover between pop music and the NFL feels like a perfect harmony of two worlds – both of which are captivating millions of fans.

Meanwhile, a new children’s book about NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce was already released on Oct. 15, offering readers a peek into Travis’ much-discussed relationship with Swift. The love story between the two is highlighted in the book, adding a charming element to the tale of the Kelce brothers’ rise to NFL fame.
