NFL Wishes Taylor Swift a Happy Birthday With a Fan Edit TikTok
It’s safe to say that the NFL’s social media manager is a Swiftie! The league’s official TikTok account posted an edit of Taylor Swift while wishing her a happy birthday.
The video was set to John Legend’s “All of Me” sung by Toby Gad and Celina Sharma, and included various clips of Taylor, 35, and boyfriend Travis Kelce, with the words “Happy Birthday, Taylor” written across the bottom. There were shots of the “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” singer at different Kansas City Chiefs games over the last year, along with a few of Travis, 35, in action on the field. The video also included moments when the Super Bowl champ showed up to support Taylor during her Eras tour.
“Karma is the guy on the @Chiefs saying happy bday to me,” the account captioned the video.
Fans flooded the comments section, praising the NFL for the video.
“Not the NFL basically posting a fan edit, but I’m here for it,” one TikTok user wrote.
Another person added, “Been an NFL fan for 40 years and never thought I’d see something like this! Well done sm team and Happy Birthday Taylor Swift!”
Other fans noted how they expected the comments section to be filled with “Brads and Chads” complaining about the NFL dedicating an entire social media post to Taylor’s birthday, but critics were few and far between.
One person said they “ran to the comments” to see the reactions of those not thrilled with the NFL’s choice “only to find a sea of Swifties.”
Taylor and Travis first began dating in the latter half of 2023 after the Cleveland, Ohio, native called Taylor out on his “New Heights” podcast and revealed that he tried to give her his phone number at her show in Kansas City in July 2023.
“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,” Travis told his brother and cohost Jason Kelce during the July 26, 2023, episode. “I 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.”
Despite the NFL star not succeeding with getting Taylor his number the night of her show, the two managed to find their way to one another. Over the past year and a half, fans have loved seeing Taylor and Travis together. In December 2023, she even spoke about how their romance began.
“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” Taylor said during her interview as Time’s 2023 Person of the Year. “We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to know each other.”
Since then, Travis has been spotted at several of Taylor’s concerts, while she’s been attending as many of his Kansas City Chiefs games as possible.
