Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce turned a major career milestone into a viral moment for Taylor Swift fans after he celebrated his 100th career touchdown with a dance that fans are convinced is a tribute to his fiancée’s music.

During the Chiefs’ recent game against the Washington Commanders, Kelce caught a third-quarter touchdown pass.

To celebrate the achievement which tied a franchise record, the three-time Super Bowl champion broke into a distinct set of arm movements while looking up toward the luxury suite where Swift was watching.

The specific moves Kelce appeared to mimic correspond directly to a key lyrical section of the track

Fans immediately flooded social media, recognising the movements as choreography from Swift’s music video for her new chart-topping single, “The Fate of Ophelia,” off her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl.

The specific moves Kelce appeared to mimic correspond directly to a key lyrical section of the track which many fans already believe is a love song about Kelce himself.

The core lyrics being referenced in Kelce’s dance are: “Keep it one hundred on the land, the sea, the sky Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes.”

This phrase is heavily scrutinised by fans, as “Keep it 100” is a saying Kelce often uses. Furthermore, the number 100 is seen as a nod to their combined lucky numbers: Swift’s plus Kelce’s jersey number, 87, equals 100.
