Travis Kelce doesn’t often publicly comment on his relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift… so when he does, fans take notice.
That was the case on Wednesday night, as the Kansas City Chiefs icon dived into the comments section of a picture of his girlfriend performing in Nashville.
In a rare public display of affection for her on social media, Kelce used his adorable nickname for her, writing: ‘Turn me up Tay Tay!!!’
Fans, perhaps unsurprisingly, quickly noticed the comment on the official NFL post and went crazy about it on social media.
‘I know a No 1 Swiftie when I see one,’ one wrote, while another – presumably with much hyperbole – added: ‘I am dead on the side of the road.’
The comment on Instagram came just hours after Swift had returned to the stage for the first time in months to perform at Kelce’s yearly Tight End University event in Nashville.

It was the first time Swift had sung publicly since the end of her sold-out worldwide Eras Tour, and she performed an acoustic rendition of her hit song Shake It Off.
The performance was alongside Kane Brown at ‘Tight End and Friends’ – a show hosted by Kelce as part of his NFL event in Music City.
Kelce and Swift had earlier been pictured arriving at the Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, where it seemed like Swift was purely just supporting Kelce for a cause close to his heart.
Singers such as Sophia Scott, Graham Barham and Chase Rice were all listed to perform at the venue, where Swift was first spotted enjoying the night in the VIP section.
Jordan Davis also played and welcomed country star Luke Combs onto the stage but Swift’s involvement had been kept a secret – if it was even scheduled at all.
Swift told the crowd ‘we planned that three minutes ago’ shortly before she left the stage to huge cheers. Just when it seemed like Brown was finishing his set, Swift ignited a frenzy when she walked out for one more song and played an acoustic guitar belonging to Rice. She dedicated it ‘to our favorite players’ before launching into a rendition of one of her biggest hits and sending the crowd wild.
Tickets had been on sale to the public and some devoted Swifties had made sure they were in the crowd for a possible sighting of the singer with Kelce. It was a gamble that seriously paid off.

Tuesday’s brief performance was Swift’s first since the end of her historic Eras Tour
Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl hosts up to 1,200 people while her biggest Eras show was at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia, where 96,000 people went to see her.
Earlier in the week, Swift stunned fans on Monday night as she doted on Kelce during the welcome night for the three-day NFL event that the Kansas City Chiefs star has hosted since 2021.
Kelce and San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle run the event alongside Greg Olsen, another former tight end who is now a distinguished NFL analyst.
As well as building a community among the players who play in the position that Kelce is famous for and sharing tips on performance, they also raise money for charity through the annual get-together.
