Now, Kelce has finally responded to the viral clip, giving fans a glimpse of what he thought about his wife pointing to her wedding ring and shouting, “That's my husband!” Swift was watching from a suite at Arrowhead Stadium on September 20 when Kelce scored his first touchdown of the 2026 season.

Travis Kelce Responds To Taylor Swift's Viral Touchdown Celebration
Kelce did not take long to explain how he felt about Swift's celebration. During the September 23 episode of New Heights, he watched the viral footage with Jason and said, “Just doing my deed as a husband. Listen man, proud wife, baby. Gotta make my girl proud.”
The moment came after Kelce caught a touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes during the Chiefs' 33-30 overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts. Swift was shown on the NBC broadcast pointing at her wedding ring while celebrating and saying, “That's my husband!” The clip quickly spread across social media.
Kelce also joined Jason in looking at memes based on Swift's celebration. The brothers laughed at several posts, while Kelce also joked about his own touchdown, saying he looked like a “fat old man” while diving into the end zone. His performance was much stronger on the stat sheet.
