Travis Kelce shared a heartwarming moment with a young fan wearing a "Go Taylor’s Boyfriend" T-shirt during a Kansas City Chiefs practice on Wednesday. The NFL team posted the interaction on Instagram, highlighting that the visit was part of a Make-A-Wish event for a child named Jackson, who recently celebrated being cancer-free after seven rounds of aggressive treatment.

Jackson wore a black "87" jersey in honor of Kelce, while his sister sported a red T-shirt referencing Taylor Swift. Kelce greeted the siblings warmly, saying, "What’s up dudes and dudettes? Give me some love. You’ve got the 8-7 on?" He then high-fived them, handed out autographed gloves, and posed for photos. 

Kelce’s teammate Patrick Mahomes also acknowledged the Swift-themed shirt during the interaction. 

The Kansas City Chiefs player has frequently engaged with Swift fans since he began dating the pop star last summer. Notably, in March, he exchanged friendship bracelets with a fan during Swift's Eras Tour stop in Singapore, and repeated the gesture at the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix in May.

This Make-A-Wish moment follows Kelce's brother, Jason Kelce, expressing confidence that Travis will win the Kids’ Choice Award he’s nominated for, attributing his chances to Swift's influence.
