In a clip posted on X (formerly Twitter) by Becky Hardin, the young fan’s aunt, Kelce walked up to a crowd of fans at practice and threw his yellow football gloves, emblazoned with his jersey number 87, over to a girl in a red Taylor Swift-inspired Chiefs T-shirt standing in the crowd.

The girl’s family members were seen cheering and waving their arms in excitement after she caught one of the gloves. A man was then heard shouting back, “Thank you, Travis!” — as Kelce signed autographs.

The lucky fan was snapped beaming afterward as she held up Kelce’s glove while showing off her T-shirt that read, ‘In My Red era’ — a sweet nod to both Kelce and Swift. The popular T-shirt was created and sold as merchandise by Charlie Hustle Clothing Co. following the pair’s romance last year.

The girl’s aunt wrote of the interaction in the caption, “Travis saw my niece, wearing a Taylor @Chiefs shirt, threw his glove, missed, pointed at her, and threw again. And I was completely unhinged and lost my mind.”

She gave thanks to Kelce, adding, “You made training camp so fun #ChiefsKingdom.”

Kelce’s time at training camp comes after attending a number of Swift’s Eras Tour shows across Europe over the summer.

A source told PEOPLE last week that Kelce’s “last few concerts were bittersweet” with Swift after visiting her at her most recent tourstop in Germany.
“They knew their time together like this was coming to an end and he made sure to spend every minute he could with Taylor,” the insider said.

“It’s definitely tough to be apart but they do everything they can to make it work and show up for each other. They’re so in love and very, very happy together. All their friends and family can see it.”

The source added of Kelce, who has been dating Swift for nearly a year, that now “His team and the Chiefs remain a top priority.”
