Taylor Swift has been an avid Chiefs fan this year. The singer-songwriter's relationship with Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce has intensified over the last couple of months, and she has made multiple appearances at Chiefs games.
With all the support the 12-time Grammy winner has shown her Super Bowl champion boyfriend, Kelce had been due to return the favor. He did just that on Saturday night.
The Kansas City star used the team's bye week to fly to Argentina and watch Swift's performance in Buenos Aires. Swift's "Eras Tour" kicked off its international leg last week, and Kelce made sure to get at least one viewing in before the back half of the Chiefs' season begins.
Swift was the star of the show, but that doesn't mean Kelce didn't get his moment as well. The singer gave her football BF a subtle shoutout during her concert, changing the lyrics of her song, "Karma", from "Karma is the guy on the screen, coming straight home to me" to "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me."

It was a not-so-subtle way for Swift to give kudos to her beau, and there's no denying it anymore — the two are head over heels in love with each other.
Here is more to know about Swift's lyric change and Kelce's appearance at her Argentina show.
Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce song lyric change
During her show in Argentina, fans were treated to a special, never-before-heard shoutout in one of her songs.
While performing "Karma", one of her songs from her 2022 album, "Midnights", Swift cleverly changed the lyrics from "Karma is the guy on the screen" to "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs." This, of course, was in reference to Kelce, her new boyfriend.

'Karma is the guy on the Chiefs' meaning
Instead of singing, "Karma is the guy on the screen, coming straight home to me," Swift changed the lyrics to represent someone that is technically a "guy on the screen" for football watchers, but for most Swifties, is better known as the "guy on the Chiefs."
While Kelce is a well-known name in the sporting world, he isn't among general pop culture fans. Many have believed that Swift was the reason for putting the Chiefs star "on the map" and know him simply as Travis, or the guy on the Chiefs.
For those following along with the budding love interest between the two, the shoutout clicked immediately, sending the Swifties in Buenos Aires into a frenzy.

Swift's changing of the lyrics for Kelce may not have even been the most viral moment of the night.
After the star wrapped up her sold-out show, she raced — literally — into the arms of the tight end, embracing him and giving the cameras (maybe unknowingly) their first public kiss.

Kelce spoke about his Argentina appearance on the latest episode of "New Heights", the tight end's podcast with his brother, Jason. The Chiefs star admitted that he was just as shocked as everyone else when he heard Swift make the change in lyrics.
"Definitely when I heard it come out of her mouth, it still shocked me and blew me away," Kelce said. "I was like, 'Oh, shhh! She really just said that! All right!'"
Taylor Swift 'Karma' lyrics
You're talking shit for the hell of it
Addicted to betrayal, but you're relevant
You're terrified to look down
'Cause if you dare, you'll see the glare
Of everyone you burned just to get there
It's coming back around
And I keep my side of the street clean
You wouldn't know what I mean
'Cause karma is my boyfriend
Karma is a god
Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend
Karma's a relaxing thought
Aren't you envious that for you it's not?
Sweet like honey, karma is a cat
Purring in my lap 'cause it loves me
Flexing like a goddamn acrobat
Me and karma vibe like that
Spiderboy, king of thieves
Weave your little webs of opacity
My pennies made your crown
Trick me once, trick me twice
Don't you know that cash ain't the only price?
It's coming back around
And I keep my side of the street clean
You wouldn't know what I mean
'Cause karma is my boyfriend
Karma is a god
Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend
Karma's a relaxing thought
Aren't you envious that for you it's not?
Sweet like honey, karma is a cat
Purring in my lap 'cause it loves me
Flexing like a goddamn acrobat
Me and karma vibe like that
Ask me what I learned from all those years
Ask me what I earned from all those tears
Ask me why so many fade, but I'm still here
(I'm still here, I'm still here)
'Cause karma is the thunder
Rattling your ground
Karma's on your scent like a bounty hunter
Karma's gonna track you down
Step by step, from town to town
Sweet like justice, karma is a queen
Karma takes all my friends to the summit
Karma is the guy on the screen
Coming straight home to me
'Cause karma is my boyfriend (Karma is my boyfriend)
Karma is a god
Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend (Weekend)
Karma's a relaxing thought
Aren't you envious that for you it's not?
Sweet like honey, karma is a cat
Purring in my lap 'cause it loves me
Flexing like a goddamn acrobat
Me and karma vibe like that
Karma is my boyfriend
Karma is a god (Ah)
Uh-huh, mm
Karma's a relaxing thought
