Travis Kelce blows Taylor Swift a kiss after she scores a touchdown, and with just over a minute left in the game, he blows a kiss to a heartbroken fan in Western New York as the Chiefs win is all but certain. It seemed like that. Sunday.
The Chiefs superstar appeared to provoke the crowd at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York, as Kansas City beat the Bills 27-24 to punch their ticket to the AFC Championship Game.
Late in the fourth quarter, as the seconds ticked down and snowballs flew down the Kansas City sideline, CBS cameras showed Kelce blowing kisses into the stands and waving to the crowd. I caught it.
Kelce, who scored two touchdowns in front of his girlfriend Swift and the Highmark Stadium crowd, praised Buffalo and the Bills Mafia after the game.
“I've had a lot of respect not only for this team, but for this organization and this fan base.” Kelce told Westwood One Sports. After the match. “It was an unbelievable environment. I'm really proud of the guys that came out here and fought through and got the win in the fourth quarter, and it felt great.”
When asked about the five lead changes in Sunday's AFC Divisional Round matchup, Kelce simply said, “It was like a Bills-Chiefs game.”
Bills kicker Tyler Bass missed a 44-yard field goal attempt to the right with 1:44 left that would have tied the game.
The Bills Mafia wasn't particularly welcoming to Kelce, the Chiefs, or Swift. That may have led to the tight end rubbing salt in the wound at the end of the game.
Swift arrived Sunday to boos from the Buffalo crowd, with fans throwing snowballs at Patrick Mahomes as he ran off the field.
Chiefs Kingdom will travel to Baltimore next weekend to take on the Ravens in the AFC title game.
