When Jason and Travis Kelce staged a live event for their podcast New Heights, fans couldn't get enough of how Travis Kelce reacted when he saw a cardboard cutout of Taylor Swift. It's shouting green flag for Tayvis stans.
Fans videotaped Travis as he ran out into the Fifth Third Arena at the University of Cincinnati to start the event, marking the fall that he made his relationship with the pop sensation public.
As he looked around at the crowd waving and screaming out to him, it can be seen that he was wearing Cincinnati Bearcats clothing, an homage to his days playing college football at his and Jason's alma university.
Before he fled the arena however, Travis Kelce saw a fan carrying a cardboard cutout of Swift. Forget his clothing, fans cannot help but notice how his facial expression completely changed.
He appeared to see the cardboard cutout and then smiled and laughed, looking delighted at what he saw.
First, Kelce was caught "staring" at the cardboard representation of his fiancée as if he was gutted with what he saw, according to a Swift fan account that posted a video of the incident on X.
Travis seemed to have been "hypnotized by cardboard Taylor," according to another X user who posted the video on the platform, who also said, "God he's as in love with her as i am."
Commenters on the posts praised Travis' enormous "smile" when the speechless moment passed as he took in the cardboard homage to the "Cruel Summer" singer.
"Taylor and the cardboard's magic, capturing Travis's heart, just like mine!" one fan tweeted.
"Adoring cardboard Taylor's magic, enchanted by love," another said.

Following the moment, Travis and Jason made their way into the arena to begin their live performance, which had been much anticipated by listeners of their sports podcast since it was first announced in early March.
Swift was not there in the crowd, but the brothers had the personal support of their parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, as well as Jason's wife, Kylie Kelce.
This feels like a full circle moment when one remembers how at one of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour movie showing, someone brought out Travis Kelce's cardboard.
