Kansas City Chiefs

Taylor Swift estará en el Super Bowl en dos semanas para ver a Travis Kelce, pero para todo el mundo es más bien una oportunidad para verla actuar... aunque tenemos malas noticias al respecto.

Fuentes directas le dicen a TMZ que Taylor no va a presentarse en el medio tiempo este año y que será Usher quien tendrá el honor de hacerlo.

Y eso no es todo... también nos enteramos de que no va a subirse al escenario para nada los próximos días.

Imaginamos que disfruta mucho estar en el papel de fan, sobre todo si es su novio quien está en el campo de juego.

Es nuestro deber aclarar que TayTay no se presentará, ya que los fans estaban especulando muchísimo.

Tiene sentido si pensamos que es la estrella musical más grande del mundo en la actualidad, y el Super Bowl es un escenario muy importante para los estadounidenses.

Por supuesto, Taylor no le debe ningún favor a la NFL, por lo que a pesar de que su base de fans podría haber asumido que se presentará, es un poco ingenuo pensar que lo hará gratis. Todo el mundo sabe que Taylor es una mujer de negocios, sin embargo, lo más importante es que este es el momento de Usher para brillar.

La otra cosa a considerar es el hecho de que Taylor estará llegando de Tokio cuando aterrice en Las Vegas, y vendrá de dar nada menos que el último de cuatro shows consecutivos.

Asumimos que Taylor estará bastante cansada y toda su energía se va a enfocar en el estadio. Va a ser una montaña rusa de emociones y Taylor no tendrá el tiempo o la voluntad de montar un espectáculo. Además, de nuevo, ¡su talento no es gratis!

Si quieres ver a Taylor en concierto de nuevo en Estados Unidos, tendrás que esperar hasta el otoño. Ella no hará ningún show de "Eras" hasta por lo menos octubre en los Estados Unidos... ¡Maldito Super Bowl!

Taylor Swift said the "L" word to Travis Kelce after his big win Sunday -- or at least that's what fans *think* she's saying in this video ... which is getting picked apart and dissected.

The couple shared an on-field hug/kiss after the game against the Ravens -- where TK had a ton of people around him, batting him on the big and celebrating his team's victory ... but it wasn't until Taylor herself showed up to embrace her man that folks really paid attention.

For good reason, too, of course ... 'cause as they were talking to each other and whispering sweet-nothings into one another's ear -- people started to do some deep-dive lip-reading.

Watch the video yourself and you'll see what's got everyone down a rabbit hole right now. After they chit-chat for a quick sec -- which you can hear -- they go in for a smooch, and as Taylor pulls away and goes back in for another hug, she appears to mouth "I love you."

That's certainly what it looks like to a lot of people, anyway ... eye of the beholder, though.

This probably wouldn't be the first time Taylor's said this to Travis -- there's been speculation dating back to New Year's Eve that he said it to her as well -- but it is further evidence that these two are very serious ... and knee-deep into their relationship by now.

Anyway, Taylor and Travis are clearly tied at the hip these days -- especially in a football capacity -- and you gotta figure she'll be there front and center for the Super Bowl as well.

She's got an 'Eras' tour show in Tokyo the night before -- but considering she's got a private jet and more than enough time to fly back to the States ... there's almost no question she'll make it. People have already done the math, and the window to return is quite large.

It's the fairy tale that keeps on giving ... and the next stop is pretty much the finish line.

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Taylor Swift le dijo la palabra con "L" a Travis Kelce después de su gran victoria el domingo, o al menos eso es lo que los fans piensan que dijo en este video.

La pareja compartió un abrazo y un beso en el campo después del partido contra los Ravens, donde Travis tuvo a un montón de gente a su alrededor celebrando la victoria de su equipo, pero no fue hasta que la propia Taylor apareció para abrazar a su hombre que la gente realmente prestó atención.

Se les pudo ver conversando y diciéndose cosas al oído, la gente comenzó a hacer algunas especulaciones de lectura de labios.

Mira el video y verás por qué todo el mundo está hablando de esto. Después de charlar durante un momento se besan y cuando Taylor se aleja y vuelve a otro abrazo, ella parece decirle "Te amo".

Hay mucha gente convencida de esto.

Probablemente, no es la primera vez que Taylor le dice esto a Travis, ha habido especulaciones que se remontan a la víspera de Año Nuevo, pero es una prueba más de que estos dos van en serio y que ya no pueden más del amor.

De todos modos, Taylor y Travis están claramente muy unidos estos días, especialmente en lo que respecta al fútbol, y tienes que imaginar que ella estará allí para presenciar el Super Bowl.

Ella tiene un show de la gira "Eras" en Tokio la noche anterior, pero teniendo en cuenta que tiene un jet privado y más que suficiente tiempo para volar de regreso a los Estados, no hay casi ninguna duda de que lo hará. La gente ya ha hecho los cálculos, y la ventana para volver es bastante grande.

Love is in the air for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce -- and now their fans can be too ... 'cause airlines are cashing in on the celeb romance for the Super Bowl!

Ahead of the big game two Sundays from now, American Airlines has announced direct flights between Kansas City, Missouri, and Sin City with the number "1989" -- which Swifties will immediately recognize as the 2014/2023 re-recorded album of hers.

Following the game, flight AA 87 will be your ticket home to TK's hometown, an obvious nod to his jersey number. Yes, AA went all out with this gimmick-y flight path ... creative, indeed.

They're not the only airline hopping on the T-Swift bandwagon, BTW ... United's doing it too.

UA has added similar flight numbers as well -- including UA 2287 referring to Tay Tay's song "22" and Travis' jersey number. Plus another flight UA 1587 merges Kelce and fellow Chiefs' quarterback Patrick Mahomes' jersey numbers. The airline's schedule also includes special flights from San Francisco to Vegas.

Tickets are now available from the airlines' website and their apps -- and you better believe these airlines are banking on people hopping aboard. On its face, this seems to be one mile high club everyone will be scrambling to be a part of!

It's only fitting that these companies are trying to capitalize on the whole frenzy that's blown up among the football couple's super fandom, which kickstarted back in September when Taylor first came out to cheer on Travis, sitting alongside his mamma, Donna Kelce at the time.

Months later, it feels like the gridiron is now a second home for her -- and she's truly become a big NFL consumer/advocate through her romance. In fact, she was seen hugging TK to celebrate the Chiefs bagging a coveted spot at Super Bowl LVIII after they defeated the Baltimore Ravens 17-10 Sunday ... and he appeared to say the "L" word. We think.

Of course, if the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, there's no way he can't say those three coveted words to his lucky charm: Taylor. Fasten your seatbelts ... the declaration of love may soon be coming!!

Anyway, go ahead and book those plane tickets if you're inclined -- AA and UA are ready to take your cash and send you on your way.

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Taylor Swift and Tony Romo were gassin' each other up when they crossed paths at the AFC Championship Game ... with both sides showering each other with compliments -- and the cute interaction was caught on video.

Swift made her way to the field to celebrate her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, following the Kansas City Chiefs' 17-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday ... and as the players accepted the Lamar Hunt Trophy, the pop superstar made her way over to the former quarterback-turned-CBS commentator to give him his flowers.

Reporters on the scene claim Swift initiated the praise-off ... telling Romo he does a good job, to which he appeared to reply that she's "even better."

In a clip of the exchange, it appears Swift downplayed the comparison ... saying, "We’re doing very different things, aren’t we? It’s a different skill set" before the two shared a fist bump.

The two also shared a hug as Travis did his thing on the stage ... and Taylor was over the moon as Chiefs Kingdom soaked in the dub.

The meetup is quite interesting ... considering Romo has notoriously referred to Swift as Kelce's "wife" on numerous occasions throughout the season.

Safe to say the "Lover" crooner ain't sweating the flub ... but here's hoping he gets it right when the Super Bowl comes around in a few weeks.

Taylor Swift's a very happy pop star right now ... 'cause her boyfriend Travis Kelce just booked a place in Super Bowl LVIII -- and she gave him a huge hug on the field to celebrate.

The Kansas City Chiefs just defeated the Baltimore Ravens 17-10 at M&T Bank Stadium and booked their ticket to the NFL's final showdown where they'll play either the San Francisco 49ers or the Detroit Lions. Tay and Travis hugged it out on the field -- a sweet moment between the power couple.

Taylor was super into the entire game ... cheering loudly after Travis caught a TD in the first quarter -- and wringing her hands down the stretch when Baltimore looked like they might mount a late comeback. Happy ending for a team that's dominated the league in recent years.

It's K.C.'s fourth Super Bowl appearance in the last five years, but their first since Taylor and Travis took over as the world's most famous couple.

While she won't be on the field in Vegas Feb. 11 -- this feels like a big moment for Tay too ... a culmination of a full season of football super fandom that started way back in September.

Remember ... we first saw Taylor at the Chiefs' week 3 matchup against the Bears. She sat next to Donna Kelce -- the first time but most certainly not the last -- while she watched her BF beat down on Chicago for a 41-10 Chiefs W.

T-Swift headed on the road for the next game -- traveling to East Rutherford, New Jersey to watch K.C. pull out a narrow 23-20 win over the New York Jets. She brought some friends with her BTW ... close friend Blake Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds and freakin' Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman.

On top of that, Swift was spotted hanging the night before with Sophie Turner and one new friend in NYC ... Brittany Mahomes -- who has remained a constant football companion for the 34-year-old.

The Swift era in K.C. kept going strong  ... with a 19-8 win over the Broncos on a chilly Thursday night in Missouri back in October. Taylor gave Donna a friendship bracelet ... and the Chiefs moved to 3-0 with Swift in attendance.

Four appearances, four wins for the Chiefs. Taylor and new BFF Brittany hit the suite for the Chiefs' win over the Chargers on Oct. 22. They even revealed a new secret handshake to the world ... reviews were mixed.

It took more than a month for Swift to hit up another NFL game ... with Travis traveling to Europe to play a game and Swift going on tour in South America. We didn't worry about the couple though -- 'cause Travis went down to Argentina to visit for a couple days.

Swift cropped up again in early December ... but the long-term separation seemed to spoil the T-Swift magic. The Chiefs dropped their first game with Swift in attendance to the Green Bay Packers -- and some fans started to question if there was a curse attached to the star.

Bills vs Chiefs ... a game marred by controversy -- and T-Swift was on hand to see all of it. A competitive game throughout, Taylor could be seen blasting those amazing pipes of hers ... before a controversial offsides call late resulted in a 20-17 Buffalo victory and a Patrick Mahomes freakout.

On the road once again ... Taylor traveled to New England to watch the Chiefs play the Patriots with her pops, Scott. The Chiefs got back to their winning ways in a 27-17 victory win over Bill Belichick's boys.

Merry Christmas, Taylor!!! Instead of roasting chestnuts on an open fire, Swift -- joined by one of the few people more popular than her, Santa Claus -- cheered on her man from the suite on Christmas Day against the Raiders. Another L for the red and gold.

Another holiday, another Swift appearance. On New Year's Eve, Taylor watched as K.C. beat Cincinnati -- taking home the AFC West title after coming back from 10 points down to win 25-17.

A week off for Tay ... Travis skipped the last regular season game against the L.A. Chargers to get some much-needed rest before the playoffs and a showdown against the Miami Dolphins.

Taylor braved blistering cold temps to watch the Chiefs take home the win in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs -- and she looked absolutely enthralled with TK postgame.

The dreaded Bills once again ... but this time, no late offsides call changed the game. Instead, the Chiefs won 27-24 after a field goal miss by Bills kicker Tyler Bass ... though most people are gonna remember a shirtless Jason Kelce.

2:04 PM PT -- Tons of memorable moments in the first half ... including one where the Ravens offense seemed to mock a T-Swift celebration from past games.

1:54 PM PT -- We've got eyes on Jason ... who's going with a two-layer approach, Hawaiian shirt over Chiefs T. Gonna be a little harder to free the nipple now, JK!

It's that time of the week again folks ... Taylor Swift's ready to cheer on Travis Kelce and the Chiefs -- in what could be her last game of the season.

The pop star pulled up to M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore to take on the Ravens Sunday ... going with a more toned-down look than we've seen her sport in past weekends. She's got a bright red shirt on, but she's covered it with a long black coat.

Why exactly she's doing that ... looks like T-Swift's twinning with her better half -- who looked downright vicious in a matching coat and black beanie. In fact, his whole ensemble's black -- giving him the look of a real bad dude.

The Chiefs' X account's playing into the joke BTW ... captioning the vid "Knew he was a Killa first time that we saw him" -- tossing Trav's "Killa" nickname into a paraphrased version of Taylor's first line in "...Ready For It?"

At Swift's side ... her best gameday gal pal Brittany Mahomes who stuck with the toned-down colors theme in a black and white leather-looking coat with her hubby Patrick's number stitched into the lapel.

BTW ... Travis' big bro Jason -- whose shirtless celebration after TK's TD last weekend sparked national headlines -- and his wife Kylie are also reportedly going to the game. No sign of them yet though.

It's the biggest game of the season for K.C. The Chiefs are one win away from the Super Bowl -- with the best team in the AFC standing in the way ... worst of all, this may be the last time the team benefits from the "Taylor Magic."

Obviously, if they lose, no more Chiefs games this season for Swift ... but even if they win it might be hard for Taylor to make it to the Super Bowl. The big game's scheduled for Sunday, February 11 -- the same weekend that TayTay heads back on tour.

Swift's got shows February 7-10 in Tokyo ... we had the TMZ Math Department crunch the numbers, and that should leave Swift about 36 hours from the end of her show to fly from Tokyo to Vegas to see the game.

We know she's got her own private jet ... but damn that's a lot on her. Plus, we've already seen what happens when Swift's working on her own career -- she missed a couple of Kelce's games back in November when she was down in South America.

So, this may be the end of another Taylor Era ... or maybe not! Travis just made an incredible touchdown catch -- so those Super Bowl hopes are alive and well.

We may just have to see if Swift can make the commute work.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are clearly well aware they have plenty of detractors ... but the Chiefs star admitted he and his boo talk about how important it is for their relationship to block out all of the "outside noise."

Kelce made the revelation while chatting with reporters about his off-field life on Friday -- just two days before Kansas City takes on Baltimore in the AFC Championship Game.

After one media member asked if he and Taylor had discussed the growing criticism they've received as they've gone more and more public with their love ... he said matter-of-factly, "The only thing we've talked about is as long as we're happy, we can't listen to anything that's outside noise."

"That's all that matters."

Kelce also said at the press conference there have been newfound challenges and critiques he's had to deal with this year as his star power has risen exponentially ... although he said he's been able to compartmentalize it all for the most part, allowing his teammates to believe in him.

Travis Kelce and Chiefs Kingdom won't like this ...

An extremely talented Baltimore fan is hoping to bring some good Taylor Swift juju to his favorite team ... by painting a mural of the pop star decked out in a Lamar Jackson jersey!!

The artist goes by dlordink on social media ... and at some point, after it was revealed the Ravens would take on the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game this weekend, he got the idea to try to use Swift's good luck powers for his squad.

The painter threw up the artwork at Unlimited Art Studio in Havre de Grace, Md. ... and he said on his TikTok page he and another designer spent three hours perfecting it.

Afterward, he was clearly pleased with how it all turned out ... writing in a caption on a pic of the wall, "Tag @taylorswift & @killatrav in the comments and let them know how good she looks in @new_era8 @ravens purple."

Great news for people who can't get enough of Travis Kelce -- the Kansas City Chiefs tight end just landed yet another commercial ... teaming up with Patrick Mahomes to sell some sammiches.

Taylor Swift's boyfriend shared his latest ad campaign with Subway on Thursday ... a short clip that primarily focuses on the superstar quarterback raving about pairing subs with the chain's new footlong cookie.

Mahomes addresses the camera in the spot ... saying, "There's nothing better than a Subway series footlong -- except when you add a new footlong sidekick."

"This might be my favorite sidekick ever," the two-time Super Bowl MVP adds ... as the camera cuts to Travis, who's clearly jealous of being replaced by a snack.

Mahomes and Kelce are one of the most dominant duos in NFL history -- they even broke Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski's career record with 16 postseason touchdowns this past weekend ... so the ad couldn't come at a more relevant time.

The Subway partnership adds to Kelce's growing list of endorsements he's landed after becoming a household name ... joining companies like Experian, Pfizer and State Farm who have used him in commercials over the past year.

In fact, Kelce also joined Mahomes for an ad with the insurance giant last year ... so they've really liked the idea of packaging themselves together lately.

It's been an incredible ride for the Ohio native -- he's won two Super Bowls, hosted "Saturday Night Live" and is dating the biggest star on the planet.

Taylor Swift has been trending these past couple days for all the wrong reasons -- somebody cranked out a bunch of X-rated/NSFW AI photos of her ... and they're absolutely wild.

Here's the deal ... tons of different mockups and renderings depicting fake Taylor in a bunch of sexual situations have been flooding Twitter over the past 24 hours or so, and they all come from artificial intelligence programming. And yes, they do look somewhat real, too.

The "photos" show AI Taylor in graphic fashion -- whether it's her being groped and fondled by fans/players at a Kansas City Chiefs game ... or, in some instances, more explicit sex.

In all the AI KC renderings that are circulating, fake Taylor is basically being tossed around and used as a sex prop -- and she's depicted in red paint, and often fully nude as well. There are other AI offerings that are surfacing too ... and she's again being sexualized.

While some pervs are relishing in the images -- and trying to crank out even more, it seems -- more than enough Swifties have come out in fierce defense of their hero/idol.

In fact, that's exactly why "PROTECT TAYLOR SWIFT" is trending on X right now ... it's her fans who are denouncing the flood of AI photos, pointing out she's being victimized here.

Not just that ... but it looks like the Swifties are flagging accounts that are allegedly spreading all this -- and while X tends to let porn slide, it does appear that moderators on the site are flagging these and yanking them. Some accounts also seem to be getting dinged.

Of course, Taylor herself hasn't addressed this yet -- and frankly, she doesn't need to ... it's very much so beneath her. But the fact these AI porn pics made their way onto the internet in the first place signals a dangerous time for stars. Your image/likeness is in the wind!

We've seen other instances of AI trying to impersonate/replicate stars -- be it through music or otherwise -- and now ... deep-fake images showing them in gross settings is the latest.

Scary times we live in ... but at least T-Swift has her army fully behind her in this cause.

Taylor Swift ha sido trending estos últimos días por todas las razones equivocadas, y es que alguien lanzó un montón de fotos porno de ella usando la IA y son absolutamente salvajes.

Este es el asunto, toneladas de diferentes maquetas de una falsa Taylor en un montón de situaciones sexuales han estado inundando Twitter en las últimas 24 horas y todas provienen de la programación de inteligencia artificial. Y sí, también parecen algo reales.

Las "fotos" muestran a una Taylor de IA de forma explícita, ya sea, siendo manoseada y acariciada por aficionados/jugadores en un partido de los Kansas City Chiefs o, en algunos casos, en situaciones sexuales más gráficas.

En todos los renders que circulan, la falsa Taylor Swfit es básicamente manoseada y utilizada como accesorio sexual y se la representa con pintura roja y a menudo también completamente desnuda.

Aunque algunos pervertidos se deleitan con las imágenes y tratan de sacar aún más, al parecer, más que suficientes Swifties han salido a defender ferozmente a su heroína.

De hecho, esa es la razón por la que el hashtag "PROTECT TAYLOR SWIFT" es tendencia en X en este momento. Son sus fans los que están denunciando la avalancha de fotos IA, señalando que está siendo víctima aquí.

No solo eso. Parece que los Swifties están marcando las cuentas que supuestamente están difundiendo todo esto, y aunque X tiende a dejar pasar la pornografía, parece que los moderadores en el sitio están marcando estos sitios y los están removiendo. Algunas cuentas también parecen estar siendo marcadas y rechazadas.

Por supuesto, la propia Taylor no ha abordado esto todavía y, francamente, no necesita hacerlo, es muy bajo para ella. Pero el hecho de que estas fotos porno de AI lleguen a Internet sugiere un momento peligroso para las estrellas. ¡Su imagen está en el viento!

Hemos visto otros casos de IA tratando de suplantar y/o replicar estrellas, pero estas falsas imágenes de celebridades en contextos desagradables es lo último.

Taylor Swift al parecer no tenía problemas con Jason Kelce a torso desnudo en el partido de los Bills el domingo, porque Travis Kelce dijo que su novia "absolutamente amaba" a  Jason.

Los hermanos Kelce dedicaron casi media hora de su pódcast "New Heights" del miércoles a analizar el comportamiento extravagante de Jason en su primer viaje como aficionado al Highmark Stadium y no pasó mucho tiempo para que el mayor de los Kelce explicara por qué prescindió de su parte superior delante de la mayor estrella del pop en el planeta.

Jason dijo que quería vivir la experiencia de los Bills Mafia y se sumergió en la experiencia de ser un aficionado de los Buffalo, pero bromeó con que todo esto casi causa una pelea con su esposa, Kylie.

"Ella ya me estaba diciendo que me portara lo mejor posible porque íbamos a conocer a Taylor", dijo Jason.

El hermano de Travis, sin embargo, luego dijo hilarantemente: "Yo estaba como, Kylie, el primer día que te conocí estaba borracho y me quedé dormido en el bar. Esto es parte del encanto. Es parte del encanto de Jason Kelce". Quiero causar mi mejor primera impresión... esta es mi mejor oportunidad".

¿La buena noticia? Travis dijo que a pesar de que Jason pasó la mayor parte de la noche cerca de Swift bebiendo cervezas sin camiseta... el cantante de "Bad Blood" no tuvo ningún problema con él.

"Bueno", dijo Travis, "Tay dijo que te quería absolutamente".

Parece que casi todo el mundo alrededor de Jason también lo hizo esa noche. Como recordaréis, después de que subiera a unas niñas al palco para saludar a Swift, los fans le suplicaron que se uniera a los Bills.

Taylor Swift apparently had no issues with Jason Kelce freein' the nip in front of her at the Bills game Sunday ... 'cause Travis Kelce said his GF "absolutely loved" him despite the shirtless antics.

The Kelce brothers dedicated nearly half an hour of their "New Heights" podcast on Wednesday to breaking down Jason's wacky behavior on his first trip as a fan to Highmark Stadium ... and it didn't take long for the elder Kelce to explain why he dropped his top in front of the biggest pop star on the planet.

Jason said he wanted to get the full Bills Mafia experience and immerse himself into Buffalo fans' famous "pageantry" ... but he did joke it all almost caused a tiff with his wife, Kylie.

"She was already telling me to be on my best behavior because we were meeting Taylor," Jason said.

Travis' brother, however, then hilariously said, "I was like, 'Kylie, the first day I met you I was blacked-out drunk and fell asleep at the bar. This is part of the charm! This is part of the Jason Kelce charm!' I want to make my best first impression -- this is my best chance."

The good news? Travis said despite Jason spending most of the night near Swift slugging beers without a shirt on ... the "Bad Blood" crooner had no issues with him whatsoever.

"Well," Travis said, "Tay said she absolutely loved you."

Seems most everyone else around Jason did that night, too. You'll recall, after he brought some little girls up to the box to say hi to Swift, fans pleaded with him to join the Bills.

Travis Kelce said what everyone was thinking about the Buffalo Bills' head-scratching fake punt with Damar Hamlin during Sunday's playoff game ... admitting he bluntly asked himself, "What in the f*** are they doing??"

The Bills were feeling spicy early in the fourth quarter of their 27-24 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs ... going for it on fourth and five from their own 30-yard line, which resulted in a turnover on downs.

Taylor Swift's boyfriend spoke about the interesting decision to try and pull a quick one on the defending Super Bowl champs ... and he was just as confused as everyone else.

"Initially, I'm like, 'What the f*** are they doing?'" Kelce told his brother, Jason, on their "New Heights" podcast. "Fourth and five, in your own territory at that point in the game, that's not time for a fake ... especially in the playoffs, where everything is on the line."

Kelce broke down what he eventually concluded about the move ... explaining he believes the Bills noticed the Chiefs only had 10 men on the field, and they had an audible in place for that specific scenario in hopes of maximizing on the opportunity.

Of course, Hamlin was stuffed after just a few yards ... and the Chiefs took over possession before eventually securing the win and a spot in the AFC Championship Game.

Sorry, Swifties ... Travis Kelce just admitted his viral heart hands celebration on Sunday was NOT aimed at his girlfriend, Taylor Swift.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end revealed on Wednesday's episode of his "New Heights" podcast that the gesture was actually for angry Buffalo Bills fans.

Kelce explained to his brother, Jason, on the show that as he was pulling up to Highmark Stadium in Buffalo to prep for the Divisional Round playoff game, Bills Mafia threw shade his team's way that he thought crossed the line.

"The Bills -- coming into their house, they want to make it rowdy," Kelce said. "Did it get a little disrespectful? One-thousand percent. One-thousand percent. Did it get a little extra? One-thousand percent."

Kelce declined to say exactly what was said by the Bills backers ... though he did tell Jason, "Some things were said about the families -- some pretty inappropriate things were said about Pat Mahomes. It was pretty wack."

So, in an effort to make sure Bills fans knew the feelings weren't "mutual" ... he formed his fingers into a heart after scoring his first touchdown of the night.

"I don't hate you guys like you hate us," he said of what his intentions were with the celly. "It's all love, baby. It's all love."

Of course, Swift has made the move famous over the years ... and Kelce was actually spotted throwing it up to her fans at her show down in Argentina late last year.
