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 it’s 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.”

The two-time Super Bowl champ divulged that “some things were said about the families, some pretty inappropriate things were said about [Chiefs quarterback] Pat Mahomes, it was pretty whack.”
“I get it, coming into a hostile environment, I respect it, but I just wanted to make sure [they] knew it wasn’t mutual. I don’t hate you guys like you hate us, it’s all love, baby,” Kelce, 34, said.
Sunday’s contest against the Bills marked the first-ever road playoff game for Mahomes, who connected with Kelce for two touchdowns, which helped the duo surpass Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski for the most postseason scores by a quarterback-pass catcher combo (16.)

Mahomes, who went 17 of 23 for 215 yards, delivered a fiery postgame speech to his teammates after the 27-24 victory.
“They asked for it, and they got what they asked for,” Mahomes said, according to footage captured by NFL Films.
The frost from Bills Mafia was also extended to Swift, 34, as the pop megastar was greeted with boos upon her arrival at the stadium.

Despite the chilly welcome, Swift — who has been dating Travis since the summer — had a blast at the game and “absolutely loved” Jason’s often shirtless shenanigans.
“I mean, honestly, one of the most fun experiences I’ve ever had from start to finish,” Jason, 36, said Wednesday of his game-day adventures.
The Chiefs will now travel to Baltimore to face the Ravens in Sunday’s AFC Championship game.
Kansas City is looking to defend its Super Bowl title after topping Philadelphia in last February’s championship contest.
