Taylor Swift had a sweet reaction to a young NFL fan being hoisted in the air by Jason Kelce at the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Buffalo Bills playoff game over the weekend.
Ella Piazza, 8, and her mother Jessica Piazza, revealed how the “Cruel Summer” songstress, 34, reacted to the viral moment on Monday’s episode of “Today.”
“I was thinking positive, but some of my friends weren’t that positive,” Ella said of her hopes to meet Swift at Highmark Stadium, the Bills’ home arena.
When Jason stripped down to his trousers to celebrate brother Travis Kelce’s game-changing touchdown, he leapt out of the VIP suite and into the stands to interact with fans.
“Then [Jason] came over here and then he picked me up and then I saw Taylor,” Ella continued.
“It was, like, amazing.”

Videos of the adorable moment show Ella holding up her sign — which read “Buffalo Bills + Taylor Swift — Best First Game Ever” — while the Grammy winner waved from the hospitality suite.
Ella’s mother chimed in, saying, “It was amazing. She came down, and it was like the happiest I’ve ever seen her. She was crying, just of happiness. It was so cool.”
Jessica also noted that she knew her daughter would be safe with the Philadelphia Eagles center because he’s a dad to three girls.

“He was so kind to her,” she went on.
“I was just so thankful that he gave her the chance to see Taylor because she was — she was standing up there at the top of the bleachers with her sign just waiting and hoping and so brave — she climbed all the way to the top.”
Jason, who shares Bennett, 10 months, Wyatt, 4, and Elliotte, 2, with wife Kylie Kelce, later received some feedback from his middle child about the decision to take his shirt off.
