Travis’ loving display post-game spoke volumes about his true feelings towards the pop princess
WITH one a global singing superstar and the other a two-time Super Bowl champion, they’re on track to be the next all-American power couple.
Rumours were rife that Travis Kelce, 34, might pop the question to girlfriend Taylor Swift, also 34, ahead of last night’s much anticipated clash, but fans had to make do with a post-game smooch.

Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs team defeated the San Francisco 49ers in a nail-biting 25-22 overtime win in front of 65,000 fans at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
But for some spectators it was Taylor’s animated displays from the stands – including chugging beer and gleefully celebrating with Blake Lively – that stole the show.
And when she greeted her boyfriend on the pitch after her victory, body language expert Judi James says their synchronised display made it clear their love is the real deal and no “showmance”.
She tells The Sun: “Travis must have been on the crest of an adrenaline wave here, celebrating a moment of sporting triumph that he’s been training for all his life.

“When we’re buzzing to that degree it means stimulus around us tends to get ‘turned off’, meaning we’re virtually unaware what is going on in that moment of virtual ecstasy.
“But Travis’s body language shows he knows very much what is going on, and it’s all about his love for Taylor.
“As she moves in to kiss him an arm winds around his neck and she places a hand on his face to steer and clamp, but she doesn’t need to commandeer his attention because his eye focus is only on her.
“In his moment of elation, it’s her he wants, and that is so telling in terms of where they are romantically.”
Judi says it’s telling that, while some sports stars may have been more keen to celebrate with teammates or discuss their victory on camera, Travis clung to Taylor.
“This could have been Travis’s cue to communicate his sporting glory to the world but instead he double-dips, going back to nuzzle his head into her neck,” she observes.

“They kiss on the lips before some mutual neck-nuzzling and hugging.
“We knew they’d kiss, and we knew Taylor would fan-girl Travis, but it’s his repeated nuzzling responses to her here, and his intense eye contact on her, that shows the world she’s pretty much up there with his Superbowl triumph in terms of where his love is right now.”
