Taylor Swift posed with a young fan holding a Kansas City Chiefs flag that described Travis Kelce as “Taylor’s boyfriend” while visiting Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City Dec. 12.

Who’s afraid of a little old joke?
Certainly not Taylor Swift, who had an adorable reaction to a young fan describing Travis Kelce as “Taylor’s boyfriend” during a recent visit to the Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City.
In a photo from her trip, shared via Instagram Dec. 12, the “Cruel Summer” singer—clad in a matching green-and-blue plaid skirt set and knee-high boots—posed with a young boy wearing glasses, plaid pajama pants and a gray shirt. Between them, the two held up a flag for Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs team that read, “Go Taylor’s boyfriend.” And in a second snap from the sweet moment, Taylor threw her head back laughing while the boy pointed out the hilarious description on the item.
And that’s not the only back-handed compliment the Grammy winner got a kick out of while visiting the hospital. In another video shared to X from her outing, Taylor had an enchanting response to a young fan who told her, “I like Travis now.”
As the hospital staff in the room let out a laugh over the kid’s emphasis on the word “now,” the 34-year-old quipped, “Yes, me too. That’s an absolute yes on that one.”
And when the child affirmed to Taylor that Travis was his “favorite player,” she joked, “Good. These are good answers. You are acing this.”
Of course, Swifties already knew Taylor—who just wrapped her record-breaking Eras Tour in Vancouver on Dec. 8—is a big fan of Travis. After all, she’s cheered the NFL tight end on at multiple Kansas City Chiefs games—including the 2024 Super Bowl—since the couple went public with their romance in September 2023.
And Travis is equally as supportive of Taylor. In fact, the New Heights podcast host has returned the favor by shaking it off at several Eras Tour shows over the past year.

Plus, Taylor recently revealed that he was cheering her on behind the scenes of her “Fortnight” music video, which also starred Post Malone.
“Something that I’ll always remember is when I finished a take and I’d say ‘cut,’ and we’d be done with that take, I would always hear someone cheering from across the studio where we were shooting it,” the “Anti-Hero” singer recalled while accepting the award for Video of the Year at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards. “That one person was my boyfriend, Travis.”
Taylor added, “Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic, so I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot because I’ll always remember that.”
