One young Cavs fan, wearing a No. 2 Max Strus jersey, called to Kelce to try to get his attention.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7v\">Kelce didn\u2019t hear him. But Swift did. So before the power couple walked away to continue their evening, Swift poked Kelce and pointed in the direction of the youngster. Kelce, with a smile on his face, gave the fan a fist bump. <\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">taylor doesn\u2019t play about them kids \ud83d\ude2d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WbSXLki6TR\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/WbSXLki6TR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 \u2729 CEL \u2729 (@moonlithoax) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/moonlithoax\/status\/2058371250251063503?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">May 24, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"81\">That wasn\u2019t the only time Swift ushered Kelce over to a youngster to capture a moment those fans will remember forever.
