The Kansas City Chiefs are off to a hot 2-0 start after defeating the Indianapolis Colts, 23-20, in a "Sunday Night Football" overtime thriller.
Travis Kelce, who chose to return for another season for the Chiefs, racked up nine catches for 101 yards and one touchdown to help his squad win. In both Sunday night's win and his team's previous "Monday Night Football" win over the Denver Broncos, Kelce's wife, Taylor Swift, was watching from a box.
And after Kelce scored his first touchdown of the season, Swift was especially fired up. She proudly held up her hand and pointed to the ring on her finger, reminding everyone, "That's my husband!"

As one might expect, that sort of highlight becomes a lasting memory on the internet, which is exactly what happened with Swift's ring-pointing touchdown celebration.

"So the internet is also running wild with Taylor's celebration. Let's take a look at this," Kelce's brother, Jason Kelce, said during the "New Heights" podcast.
During the podcast, they showed various online memes using Swift's touchdown celebration. Both Kelces chuckled after reading several memes.
"Internet's having a good old time with this [expletive]," Kelce said, later adding, "Listen, man. Proud wife, baby. Gotta make my girl proud."
Kelce did just that, scoring his 83rd career touchdown with his wife at Arrowhead Stadium. He credited his teammate Patrick Mahomes for exceptional passing.
Kelce called Mahomes a "Texas gunslinger" after Sunday night's win, saying his teammate was "letting it rip" with his passes to everyone.
"A few of them caught me off guard. I gotta get my [expletive] head around, but man, he's putting the ball where it needs to be and he's getting that ball out on time," Kelce said.
"Pat put it right on the [expletive] money. Pat was ball-out on time," he said regarding his touchdown, which featured Kelce diving over the goal line and into the end zone.
So far this season, Kelce's got 12 receptions for 172 yards and a touchdown. Mahomes, back from the brutal injury he suffered near the end of last season, has 565 yards and five touchdown passes in his healthy return.
Running back Kenneth Walker III has proven to be a huge offseason acquisition, and the Kansas City Chiefs entered the early conversation as potential AFC contenders to reach the Super Bowl.
What a difference an off-season and Kelce's wedding may have made for a team that ended its 2025 campaign with disappointment.
