Have you ever wondered what Taylor Swift thought when Travis Kelce passionately shouted “Viva Las Vegas” once again? After the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory in Vegas earlier this year, Kelce sang the famous phrase on national television for the first time. It was quite the spectacle, and fans compared his enthusiasm to that of an energized Adam Sandler holding a microphone.
At a charity banquet in Vegas for teammate Patrick Mahomes’ 15 and Mahomies foundation, Kelce found himself on stage with a microphone once again. Seated at a front-row table were Taylor Swift, Kelce’s girlfriend, alongside Mahomes and his spouse, Brittany Mahomes. When a video of Kelce yelling “Viva Las Vegas” surfaced on social media, confusion spread, and people begged for an explanation.
“Why does he keep saying ‘Viva Las Vegas’? Did they meet in Vegas? Is it a song? What’s the deal? Someone please help!” wrote one perplexed Instagram user.
Well, dear Instagram user, let me enlighten you. “Viva Las Vegas” is a song sung by the legendary Elvis Presley for his eponymous movie in the early 1960s. And yes, Swift was in Vegas during the Super Bowl, but there is no evidence to suggest that she and Kelce met there.
During the viral national television moment, Swift was close to the stage, and cameras even caught her expression as Kelce performed. This led to days of social media debate about whether she was cringing or embarrassed by his antics. But now, a lip reader has stepped in to provide a fresh perspective on the matter.
Jackie Gonzalez, also known as @tismejackieg, is a lip reader who can decipher conversations in public and on the red carpet. She claims that during the dinner, Swift turned to the person next to her and said, “That again. I can’t do it.” This revelation has sparked new articles speculating whether Swift was bothered by Kelce’s repetition.
It’s important to note that lip reading is not always accurate, as Gonzalez herself acknowledges in her post. In fact, at this year’s Oscars, lip readers wrongly claimed that Emma Stone called presenter Jimmy Kimmel a derogatory term (which Stone later denied).
But in the eyes of Swift’s fans, it doesn’t really matter whether she was bothered by Kelce’s excitement or not. They love him and fully support their relationship. One fan commented on the lip reader’s article, saying, “Honestly, after being attracted to pretentious art bros her whole life, she deserves someone secure enough to be a little cringe. We all do.” Others echoed this sentiment, sharing stories of their own partners who have their cringeworthy moments but are still loved and cherished.
Indeed, having a corny and cringy boyfriend can make for the best husbands and lasting relationships. Just like the parents who have been married for 54 years and still enjoy a good laugh at the dorky things their partner says. It’s all part of the charm and uniqueness that makes a relationship special.
So, let’s celebrate Travis Kelce’s unabashed excitement and Taylor Swift’s love for him, quirks and all. After all, love is about embracing each other’s silliness and finding joy in the most unexpected moments.
