Travis Kelce has declared his love for Taylor Swift for the first time, with microphones catching him hugging his girlfriend – and telling her: ‘I love you.’
Immediately after the Chiefs’ huge win in Baltimore, Swift took the field and the pair shared a very public and passionate kiss, with the cameras of the world focused on them.
In that immediate hug, it has been suggested that Taylor said “I love you” to Travis without him verbally reciprocating the gesture.
But now a new clip has surfaced, showing the NFL’s microphones following Kelce around the field, during which he does indeed say the L-word to his girlfriend.
Travis meets her on the field for the second time and approaches Taylor to say, “Tay, I’m going to have fun with the boys”… before kissing her again and saying, “I love you.”

Swift has attended 12 of Kelce’s games this season and is now expected to reach 13, her lucky number, in the Super Bowl in Las Vegas in a fortnight.
In the match itself on Sunday evening, Kelce was again in incredible form. He caught all eleven passes he received and also opened the scoring with a touchdown.

Swift now turns her attention to four nights of her blockbuster Eras Tour in the Japanese capital from February 7 to 10 before racing back to Allegiant Stadium for the biggest night in the American sporting calendar. But she is expected to make the journey to be there for Kelce.
She and Travis took center stage during the post-match celebrations, but during the showdown itself, the singer appeared frustrated as he appeared mid-stage on CBS coverage.
She could clearly be seen saying “go away, please” as the camera remained focused on her in a VIP suite as she promoted next weekend’s Grammy Awards.
However, she will have to accept it on February 11 as she will travel thousands of miles to create the game.
The 17-hour time difference works to her advantage on her return to the US from Japan and it will be the 13th Chiefs game this season that Swift will have cheered on the team for – her lucky number.
