The Kansas City Chiefs put on a dominating performance against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7, shutting them out while putting up 31 points. And star quarterback Patrick Mahomes decided to celebrate the win with a video on his Instagram.

Specifically, he posted a clip of his touchdown pass to wide receiver Rashee Rice, who returned to the field for the first time this season after serving a six-game suspension.

But it was the song Mahomes picked in the background that had everyone smiling. The Chiefs quarterback decided to include Taylor Swift in the celebration, using her song “Opalite” from her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl.

And one of Swift's close friends, who just so happens to be Mahomes' wife, couldn't help but comment on the post.

"YASSSS ,” Brittany Mahomes wrote.

Plus, it helps that Opalite is one of the songs the singer wrote about her love story with Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce.

Taylor Swift's References To Travis Kelce in Opalite

  • Travis Kelce's birthstone is Opal
  • Swift's reference to Kelce's ex-girlfriend: ‘You couldn’t understand it, why you felt alone / You were in it for real, she was in her phone / And you were just a pose.’ This stemmed from a video that fans of Kelce asking Nicole to ‘get off your phone.’ 
  • Chorus: “But now, the sky is opalite, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh / Oh, my Lord Never made no one like you bеfore/ You had to make your own sunshine / But now, thе sky is opalite, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.”

Taylor Swift was in attendance at Sunday's game

Taylor Swift attended Sunday's game at Arrowhead Stadium alongside her father, Scott Swift.

And then after the game, the two celebrated the victory at the tight end's restaurant 1587 Prime, which is owned by him and Mahomes.

Donna Kelce was also there, as fans spotted her supporting her two daughter-in-laws, wearing Swift's Tortured Poets Department bracelet along with a hat from Kylie Kelce's podcast.
