He continued: ‘The goal [has] always been to get three. Believe it baby, we’re gonna be here next year.
‘Family forever, I can’t be more proud of you guys.’
Travis then spotted Taylor in the crowd and roared ‘come here girl’ as the singer greeted him with multiple hugs and kisses and hailed the game ‘incredible’ and ‘unbelievable’.
The 34-year-old singer had flown back from Japan just hours before where she had been playing four shows at the Tokyo Dome as part of her Eras tour.
Fans had been worried Taylor would not be able to make the game because of her hectic concert schedule but she managed to fly in before heading to Melbourne, Australia, to continue the tour.
The superstar singer arrived at the Allegiant Stadium wearing an all-black outfit with a red jacket draped over her shoulder, alongside actress Blake Lively and rapper Ice Spice.
After wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. had scored the winning touchdown in overtime, CBS aired footage of the Cruel Summer singer and her friends jumping up and down in excitement, with popcorn and drinks getting spilled in their jubilation.
The group were joined in the suite by Travis’ divorced parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, his brother Jason and sister-in-law Kylie, as well as Taylor’s mom and dad, Andrea and Scott Swift – who was wearing a Chiefs T-shirt, windbreaker and baseball cap – and her brother Austin.

The game marked Taylor’s 13th appearance at one of Travis’ games since they went public with their romance last September.
Ahead of the game, Travis had given a cheeky reference to his girlfriend in his side’s introduction video, which aired before the players took to the field.
Quoting her 2017 song … Ready for It?, the sportsman winked at the camera and asked viewers: ‘Are you ready for it?’
Taylor’s romance with Travis has been credited with generating greater global interest in the game, particularly among women.
Last month, photographs of the couple kissing went viral as Taylor celebrated on the field after the Chiefs triumphed over the Baltimore Ravens 17-10 at the MT Bank Stadium in Baltimore to reach the Super Bowl.
The Sun reports that Travis and Taylor will have some private time after the Super Bowl’s conclusion.
The pair will have some time away from the rest of the team with Taylor, and Travis’s family believed to have booked separate accommodations away from the Chiefs team hotel.
This is while the Chiefs are staying nearby at The Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort and Spa.

He said he was ‘disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings, so I was a little butthurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I’ve made for her.’
‘If you’re up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets, and I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it.’

He said that he would look to take things slow, explaining: ‘To really dive into a relationship with somebody I feel like it’s going to take at least, I don’t know, it’s going to take some time.’
‘It’s not going to be immediate because, the stuff I’ve been through, just in my past, I feel like you really gotta know somebody to take that step and really be committed and be in full-throttle. I can’t just meet somebody and just automatically think that forever is just a day away… I think it takes quite a bit of time for somebody to really get to know somebody and really get to find that affection and love for them.’
