Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was mic’d up during their 21-7 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 15 of the 2024 NFL season. And one specific moment caught the attention of Taylor Swift fans.
On Tuesday, the Chiefs released a video of Kelce manifesting a turnover by the Browns. Before the play began, the former Cincinnati Bearcats star thought there was a fumble by Cleveland, saying, “Oh, ball out, ball out.”
After Kelce was proven wrong, he added, “I lied. I tried to manifest it, that’s all. I just tried to manifest it.”
Subsequently, Cleveland running back Nick Chubb received a handoff before Chiefs linebacker Leo Chenal punched it out, leading to a recovery by fellow defender Drue Tranquill. This prompted Kelce to celebrate his prediction.
“Ball out!” Kelce said. “Ball out. Cleveland baby, the land of magic.”
This prompted some Swifties to revive an old nickname for Kelce after previously rediscovering clips of the tight end, including one of him singing and dancing to Swift’s “Love Story.” Fans joked that he had manifested the relationship as he did the turnover in the win over Cleveland.
“The king of manifesting,” one fan said.
“King of manifestation,” added another.
“King of manifestation,” wrote a third.
“King of manifesting,” chimed in a fourth.
“‘I just tried to manifest it’ the king of manifestation,” commented another user.
“He’s not the King of Manifesting for nothing,” posted a sixth.
Kelce and Swift began publically dating in September 2023, when she attended her first Chiefs game in Week 3 of last season when they faced the Chicago Bears in Kansas City. Since then, Swift has been to 19 total games, with Kelce and company securing an impressive 16-3 record in those contests.
The Chiefs will be back in action for their final game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday as they host the Houston Texans.
