Travis Kelce gave a sweet ‘shout out’ to his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, as she kicks off her Eras Tour stop in Brazil – shortly after the NFL star flew to Argentina to watch the singer perform.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34 – who possibly hinted that the Grammy winner could make an appearance at his upcoming game – made the comment on Friday’s bonus episode of the New Heights podcast with brother, Jason Kelce.
Both Kelce and his brother – who is the center for the Philadelphia Eagles – took part in a segment where they looked at fan art.
One image showed a drawing of the brothers with Travis wearing a sweater that had his face placed on a map of the United States – referencing to a joke that claimed the Bad Blood hitmaker had made him famous.
While talking about the cartoon picture, he stated, ‘On the map. Putting, obviously, my face on the map. Shout out to Taylor!’

Last weekend, the sports player whisked himself away to South America to attend Swift’s concert in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
He was seen cheering her on during a Saturday performance after she postponed a concert the day before due to bad weather.
Travis revealed on his podcast earlier this week that Taylor was less than thrilled about the situation. ‘She wasn’t too happy about it obviously, she kind of prides herself on performing through weather or rain and things like that.’
He continued, ‘But when it’s unsafe to her and her crew and everybody in the stadium you gotta do what you gotta do.’
However, due to the cancellation, the couple were able to spend quality time with each other and were spotted enjoying dinner in the city, with Taylor’s father, Scott, also joining the pair.
Following her concert on Saturday, a video had captured the star running up to Kelce as the pair shared a loving kiss.
The Blank Space songstress has since resumed the international trek for her Eras Tour by kicking off a three-day stop in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil on Friday.
Next week on Monday, November 20, the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles are slated to play at Arrowhead Stadium, although it has yet to be confirmed whether the singer will make an appearance.

On the New Heights podcast, Travis didn’t reveal whether the pop star will be in attendance, but expressed, ‘We’re going to have a bunch of Cleveland Heights natives in the house.’
‘And then some friends who are Eagles fans and some friends who are just coming in for a Super Bowl rematch, man,’ Kelce added, possibly hinting that there was still a chance of Taylor stopping by.
According to Entertainment Tonight, Travis and the singer’s parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, as well as Andrea and Scott Swift, will reportedly meet for the first time at the big game, even though Taylor’s attendance is still uncertain.
Attending four Chiefs games this season, the singer has already met Kelce’s parents; most notably, Travis got to spend time with her father, Scott, at the concert in Buenos Aires last week.
In a designated VIP area, the couple could be seen standing close to one another while they excitedly watched the singer take the stage.
Even though Scott is an Eagles fan, social media users were quick to point out that he was sporting a Chiefs lanyard.
On the latest podcast episode, Travis humorously told his brother, ‘Got him over to the good side, baby. Just one by one, getting all the good ones to come on over.’
Jason replied with, ‘What are we doing, Scott? You’re gonna let this man’s devilish good looks and relationship with your daughter sway you from a lifetime of fandom, Scott? Ridiculous.’

The Chiefs tight end then teased, ‘I might have persuaded him at dinner the night before. When I met him.’
A source recently told Us Weekly, ‘Taylor and Travis have met each other’s parents so it only makes sense that they’d want their parents to meet each other as things between them are getting really serious.’
The insider explained that the pair, ‘have a very close bond with their parents and it’s really important that their families blend seamlessly, as well.’
Although Swift performs in Brazil through Sunday, the source stated that she will attempt to be at the game. ‘It’s really important to her to be there when their parents meet.’
