Travis Kelce Responds to Taylor Swift's Viral 'That's My Husband!' Moment
The NFL star addressed Swift's on-field celebration and subsequent internet reactions on his podcast.
Travis Kelce has weighed in on the viral moment when his wife, Taylor Swift, pointed to her wedding ring and declared "that's my husband!" during his recent Kansas City Chiefs game. Speaking on his "New Heights" podcast, Kelce acknowledged the widespread internet reaction and Swift's gesture, stating, "Just doing my deed as a husband. ... The internet is having a good old time with this s—t."
Swift's enthusiastic celebration occurred after Kelce scored his first touchdown of the season during the Chiefs' game against the Indianapolis Colts. The pop superstar, who married Kelce in July, was seen in a stadium suite wearing a red Chiefs tank top. She was joined by her parents, Scott and Andrea Swift, and Kelce's mother, Donna Kelce.
The "that's my husband!" declaration and subsequent pointing to her wedding ring quickly became a viral sensation, spawning numerous memes and online discussions. Kelce addressed some of these memes on the podcast, including one comparing Swift's reaction to finding "all the right stuff at the grocery store" and another likening it to fixing WiFi by unplugging and replugging it.
Kelce also reflected on Swift's growing understanding of football, noting that she has become quite knowledgeable about the game. He recalled instances where she has identified potential penalties, such as encroachment, telling podcast listeners, "She's on it now. She got fully engulfed in it."
This moment follows Swift's previous appearance at a Chiefs game a week earlier, where she watched the game alongside actor Tom Cruise. Cruise later commented on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" that Swift possesses a "great sense of humor" and had "school[ed] [him] on football," adding that she "knows her stuff" and is "a genius."
