What did Travis Kelce say to Taylor Swift? Hot mics pick up heartwarming exchange after AFC championship win image

The fairytale story between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift continues on.

Hollywood's hottest couple is Super Bowl bound, as Kelce and the Chiefs defeated the Ravens in the AFC championship Sunday, punching their ticket to Super Bowl 58. Kansas City is set to have a rematch of Super Bowl 54 in two weeks time, taking on San Francisco in the big game. 

Kelce put together another memorable postseason performance, breaking Jerry Rice's record for most career playoff receptions with catch No. 152. He finished the game with 11 receptions for 116 yards and a touchdown. 

All eyes remained on Kelce — and his beau — after the game, as Swift made her way down onto the field to celebrate the Chiefs clinching their spot in the Super Bowl for the fourth time in the last five seasons. The two shared a heartwarming embrace, and microphones managed to pick up some of their conversation during the postgame festivities.

Once the final kneel down was made, the Chiefs began their celebration. 

Like a majority of the family members and loved ones in attendance, Swift made her way onto the field along with Kelce's parents, Donna and Ed. Swift embraced Kelce and gave him a much-deserved hug and kiss for his sensational showing against the Ravens, 

With all of the cameras and mics around, a couple snippets of their conversation were picked up, which included Kelce's calling Swift, "sweetie," and the singer supposedly saying the three big words — "I love you."

Kelce wasn't the only one to share a moment with Swift. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, who has jokingly taken credit for the formation of the love birds, sought after Swift in the crowd ahead of receiving the Lamar Hunt Trophy, pointing in her direction. 

Whether the dads, Brads and Chads of the world like it or not, the Swift-Kelce mania isn't going anywhere. And now, the power couple get a chance to shine on football's brightest stage in Las Vegas.
