Travis Kelce played a major role in the Kansas City Chiefs’ dramatic overtime win against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday — and not just with what he did on the field. When Kareem Hunt fumbled early in the fourth quarter with the Chiefs trailing 20-9, the running back looked devastated as he headed to the sideline, clearly frustrated after turning the ball over in the red zone at such a crucial moment.
That’s when cameras caught Kelce walking over, wrapping Hunt in a big bear hug and saying something that immediately lifted his teammate’s spirits. And while all of that unfolded, Taylor Swift was discreetly watching from a VIP suite at Arrowhead Stadium.
Travis Kelce’s Leadership After Fumble Becomes a Rally Point
After the fumble, Hunt looked shaken as he made his way to the bench, but Kelce quickly intervened, speaking to him directly and refusing to let him hang his head. CBS announcer Jim Nantz summarized the interaction as something along the lines of, “It’s okay, we got you bro.”
On the Chiefs’ very next drive, Hunt powered into the end zone for a touchdown that shifted momentum. Kansas City later tied the game in regulation before sealing the victory in overtime.
Fans praised Kelce’s leadership as a defining moment in the comeback.
“This was a huge moment today. Incredible leadership by 87,” one fan posted. “Kept Kareem focused and not down on himself because Kelce knew they needed him down the stretch. Championship pedigree.”
Another wrote, “Under appreciated was Travis’s leadership with Kareem after the fumble. He refused to let Kareem beat himself up about it and helped him get his head back in the game. He came up huge for us in the 4th.”
Taylor Swift Watches From Suite as Chiefs Secure Overtime Win
While the Chiefs battled back, Swift was seen in the stands, enthusiastically cheering for Kelce and the team. The singer, 35, wore a casual sweater and was spotted jumping up and down as the game pushed into overtime and Kansas City ultimately prevailed, according to Page Six.
Swift has attended several Chiefs games this season, though with less fanfare than past years. She quietly entered the Chiefs vs. Eagles matchup on September 14, and later watched the team take on the Ravens and the Lions without broadcast cameras capturing her arrival.
She was seen chatting with Caitlin Clark in a private suite during the October 12 game and smiling toward Kelce after the Chiefs’ win over the Washington Commanders on October 27.
Concerns for her safety seem to be at the root of her less-flashy entrances so far in the 2025 season. The US Sun reported that Swift and Kelce spend $8 million annually on security, with experts ensuring she remains “100% safe and comfortable all the time.” Arrowhead Stadium has reportedly implemented additional protective measures during games.
Swift has not commented publicly, but her quieter presence follows a restraining order she obtained in September against alleged stalker Brian Jason Wagner.
With the win, the Chiefs improved to 6-5 and now prepare for a highly anticipated Thanksgiving matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.
