Young Chiefs Fan Jumps for Joy After Unexpected Travis Kelce Encounter in Sweet Video
Travis Kelce #87 of the Kansas City Chiefs warms up prior to the AFC Championship Game against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium on Jan. 28, 2024, in Baltimore, Md.
In recent months, Travis Kelce has been in the news because of the Kansas City Chiefs' success in the NFL and because of his pop superstar girlfriend, Taylor Swift. The tight end is making headlines yet again—but this time for a video of an unexpected encounter he had with a young Chiefs fan.
On Sunday, Jan. 28, the Chiefs won against the Baltimore Ravens, winning the AFC Championship and clinching a spot at Super Bowl LVIII. Kelce was caught during an act of kindness ahead of the matchup when he gave his warm-up gloves to a boy in the stands.
"@Travis Kelce gave his gloves to my son at the AFC Championship Game! ??" the boy's mother captioned a TikTok video of the exchange.
In the clip, Kelce jogged to the stands and handed the boy his gloves while saying something to him that couldn't be heard. The ecstatic young fan then practically skipped back to his seat, where he jumped for joy, too speechless to say anything except a couple of happy "hoots."

Folks in the comments were simply smitten over Kelce's kind gesture and the boy's overjoyed response. One TikTok user wrote, "This little guy's reaction is priceless. @Travis Kelce You are awesome!" while another declared, "OMG his little face!"
Someone else pointed out, "awwww the little jumps ??."
Another TikTok user commented, "That pure happiness and joy on his face ??."
Meanwhile, a Swiftie chimed in with, "So are the gloves his version of the 22 hat? ?" referring to Swift's tradition of giving away the black cap she wears during her song, "22" during each Eras Tour concert.
Another Swift fan joked, "????THIS DAD IS THE BEST DAD WEVE EVER HAD!!"
And you know what? We'd have to agree.
