Fans can’t get enough of the way Travis Kelce reacted when he spotted a cardboard cutout of Taylor Swift as he and his brother, Jason Kelce, hosted a live event for their New Heights podcast.

Travis, who took his relationship with the pop star public last fall, was filmed by fans as he waited to start the show by running out into the University of Cincinnati’s Fifth Third Arena. He was dressed in Cincinnati Bearcats gear, a nod to his time playing college football at his and Jason’s alma mater, as he looked around at the fans waving and calling out to him.

Shortly before he ran out into the arena, Travis spotted one fan holding a cardboard cutout of Swift who, like Travis, wore a Bearcats top. He seemed to spot the cardboard cutout before laughing and smiling, appearing thrilled as he took in the sight.

A Swift fan account shared a clip of the moment on X, writing that Travis had been “staring” at the cardboard version of his girlfriend. Another X user who shared the clip on X wrote that Travis appeared to have been “hypnotized by cardboard taylor,” adding, “god he's as in love with her as i am.”

Fans who commented on the posts said they loved Travis’ huge “smile” when he spotted the cardboard tribute to the “Cruel Summer” singer.

“Taylor and the cardboard's magic, capturing Travis's heart, just like mine!” one fan tweeted.

“Adoring cardboard Taylor's magic, enchanted by love,” another said.

After the moment passed, Travis and Jason entered the arena to officially kick off their live show, which fans of their sports podcast had been looking forward to since it was announced in early March. Though Swift was not in the audience at the show, the brothers were supported in person by their parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, and by Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce.
