Travis Kelce reveals true meaning of viral heart hand celebration: ‘A lot of hate’
When Travis Kelce threw up girlfriend Taylor Swift’s known heart hand pose following a first-half touchdown in Sunday’s divisional-round win in Orchard Park, the Chiefs tight end simply wanted to “spread the love” to Bills Mafia.
During Wednesday’s installment of the “New Heights” podcast, Travis elaborated on the touchdown celebration that many believed to be for Swift who has become synonymous with the gesture at her shows as she watched the game from a Highmark Stadium suite with the Kelce family.
“Had to spread the love, baby, always gotta spread that love,” Travis told his older brother and podcast co-host, Eagles center Jason Kelce.
“There was a lot of hate pulling up to that stadium, man, understandable its a football game, the Bills, coming into their house, they want to make it rowdy. Did it get a little disrespectful? One thousand percent. Did it get a little extra? One thousand percent.”
