Swift, who has been a staple of support at Chiefs games this season, was visibly overwhelmed by the atmosphere of the home victory at Arrowhead Stadium. Unlike the previous season, when she attended a road game during the Chiefsā AFC Championship win against the Baltimore Ravens, this time, Taylor experienced the full excitement of a championship win in front of the Chiefsā home crowd.
In a micād-up segment released byĀ Inside the NFL, Taylor could be heard expressing her awe at the celebration unfolding around her. As confetti rained down and the crowd roared, Swift was heard saying, āOh my God, this is so insane. Look at this, this is not a real-life situation.ā
Kelsey responded, acknowledging that the celebration in Baltimore the year before was much different. āIt wasnāt like this in Baltimore last year,ā he said.
Swift, still in shock, replied, āNo, we were all by ourselves. This is so crazy. I cannot believe this is really happening. Iām in shock. This is so cool.ā

Super Bowl 57 was a familial affair dominated by two All-Pro brothers and their mother.
Jason Kelce, formerly of the Eagles, squared off against Kansas City star and younger brotherĀ Travis KelceĀ at State Farm Stadium.
The ‘Big Game’ – dubbed the ‘Kelce Bowl’ – ended with Travis and theĀ ChiefsĀ lifting the Vince Lombardi Trophy after defeating theĀ Eagles, 38-35.
The brothers’ parents received a ton of media coverage leading up to the game, especially mum Donna who was in attendance and had the unenviable job of watching her two boys go head-to-head.
After the final whistle, mama Kelce took to the field to celebrate with Travis and console Jason.
“I’m so happy for you!” she told a jubilant Travis.
Later, when Donna found Jason, he told her ‘it was so fun watching you all week.’
“Go celebrate with Trav”, he added.
Emotions were understandably running high for the Kelce clan, which continued in the days after the Super Bowl onĀ Jason and Travis’ New Heights podcast.
Jason spoke about his mother’s presence at the game and held back tears over how powerful the experience was.

“Well for some reason when I saw you I wasn’t that emotional,” Jason said on the podcast.
“I was really, really happy for you,” he told Travis.
“I think I was still caught up in the game though and I just wanted to try to not bring you down. Just wanted to say congratulations and was really happy for you but was still caught up in myself a little bit.
“The moment when I saw mom was when I got real emotional, because, man, it was so awesome,” Jason added, getting emotional as he remembered the interaction.
“She was the heavyweight champ, man. She was on top of it and she shined the whole time,” Travis said.
“That was the coolest part. Mom, you actually killed it. Dad, you’ve been killing it.”
Jason went on: “Ironically you lose the Super Bowl, and you’re crying after the game. And they’re not tears of sadness, they’re tears of joy.”
Later in the podcast, Travis opened up about Jason being the inspiration for him to get into football.
“The crazy part is I would never be playing this damn game if it wasn’t for you.”
“Stop, yes you would,” Jason replied.
“It’s the truth, man, I followed your footsteps into it. When you started playing football… so you started playing hockey, I started playing hockey. You started playing football, I started playing football.
“I’ve kinda just been followin’ your footsteps throughout this whole gig and to go through everything leading up to this moment – or leading up to this year – and then having the year that we had, and then meeting you at the mountaintop brother, it was like we were on top of that thing together man.
