A Touchdown Tribute on Stage

During her performance of “Midnight Rain” at Caesars Superdome, Swift made a nod to Kelce’s famous first down hand gesture, which fans quickly interpreted as a sweet tribute. As she sang the line “And he never thinks of me / Except when I’m on TV,” Swift mimicked the gesture, sparking cheers from fans.

But Swift didn’t stop there. Following the signal, she kissed three of her fingers and held them up in the air, a move fans believed to be a subtle reference to the Chiefs potentially winning their third consecutive Super Bowl title. With the Chiefs on a 7-0 winning streak, this “three-peat” gesture felt like a hopeful sign for Kelce’s team.

Social Media Buzz

Fans on social media quickly picked up on the moment. One fan on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “taylor swift just did travis kelce’s first down signal on stage and then sealed it with a 3-peat finger kiss send-off to manifest another Super Bowl win like you simply cannot make this s— up.”

This wasn’t the first time Swift made an on-stage reference to her rumored relationship with Kelce. At the same New Orleans venue two nights earlier, she mimed throwing a football as she sang the same lines, drawing further parallels to Kelce’s NFL career.

“Karma” Lyrics Reimagined

Swift continued to showcase her support for Kelce later in the performance by adjusting the lyrics of her hit song “Karma.” Instead of the usual line, she sang, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me.” This playful switch delighted fans, reinforcing the connection between the couple. The moment was captured by PEOPLE’s Brian Anthony Hernandez and shared widely on social media.

Warm Welcome from New Orleans

Before Swift’s arrival at Caesars Superdome, the New Orleans Saints posted a special welcome on their Instagram: a stadium-sized friendship bracelet to honor Swift and her fans. Friendship bracelets have become a signature of the Eras Tour experience, inspired by her song “You’re On Your Own, Kid,” which includes the line “Make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it.”

The Eras Tour’s Final North American Stretch

After completing her international Eras Tour leg in London this past August, Swift resumed her North American tour with her first stop in Miami on October 18. She introduced four new outfits during her Miami concert, including a sparkling snake bodysuit designed by Roberto Cavalli, marking an exciting start to the tour’s final stretch.

Swift’s next stops include Indianapolis (November 1-3), Toronto (November 14-23), and Vancouver (December 6-8), where fans eagerly await the next surprise moments Swift might share on stage.
