Travis Kelce’s dance with Justin Timberlake sparks Taylor Swift fan frenzy online

Travis Kelce dances with Justin Timberlake in Vegas, sparking talk of Taylor Swift’s influence on his smooth moves.

 Travis Kelce is once again capturing the internet’s attention—this time not for his football skills, but for his dance moves.

A video of the Kansas City Chiefs star dancing with Justin Timberlake during the 8AM Golf Invitational in Las Vegas has gone viral, and fans were quick to link his performance to girlfriend Taylor Swift.

The video, shared by Timberlake on Instagram, shows Kelce playfully dancing with the pop icon and comedian Andrew Santino on the golf course. At one point, Kelce grabbed his golf club as a microphone and led the routine while Timberlake and Santino backed him up. Timberlake captioned the post: “We are just @killatrav’s backup dancers now.”

Naturally, Swifties flooded social media with comments connecting Kelce’s playful moves to his time on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, where he made a surprise appearance in London. “@killatrav is a certified backup dancer after the Eras Tour,” one fan joked.

Others chimed in, teasing that Kelce is “Taylor’s next tour opener” or has “officially joined the cast.” Fans continue to enjoy seeing the NFL star shine in unexpected arenas—and clearly, his relationship with Swift is influencing his public persona.

@taylorswift13 Taylor I saw that video that Justin posted today of Travis dancing and singing into his golf club. I see he's been practicing for your next tour. His formal audition is at Kelce Jam. You might as well just sign him. We all know you are putting him on stage. Ha ha.

Kelce has shown he’s more than a football player, from participating in celebrity golf events alongside stars like Michael Phelps and Jason Kelce, to bringing high energy and charisma to every stage—on or off the field.

With the Eras Tour and football season both in full swing, fans are watching this power couple closely.
