Travis Kelce's touchdown celebration says it all.

Patrick Mahomes located the tight end in the end zone and instead of his typical dancing celebration, Kelce just did something simple. But it meant a lot to one special guest in the stands.

Kelce simply made a heart with his hands in the air. And it's clear that was directed at Taylor Swift.

Although his brother's reaction to the touchdown does deserve some recognition, the heart hands were not for him.

So while I'm sure a lot of football fans just thought Kelce was holding up a simple heart to show his love for Swift, there was actually a much greater meaning.

And it will have every single Swiftie very excited.

What does the heart mean?

During her Fearless tour, Swift held up her hands in a heart to express her gratitude for the fans. And it was also on the original fearless CD.

It has become a gesture to represent that era, with Swift even doing it during her Eras Tour when she sings Fearless.

The move has become widely know and associated with Swift, as millions of fans across the world hold up their hands in a heart during each of her tour dates to show how much they love the pop star.

And it's clear Kelce does too.
