Travis Kelce remains Taylor Swift’s No. 1 fan amid her latest music video release.<\/p>\n
While the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> are not playing in the Super Bowl, it\u2019s been a huge week for both Travis Kelce and his fianc\u00e9e, Taylor Swift.<\/p>\n Kelce co-hosted a star-studded \u201cNew Heights\u201d party in San Francisco on February 4 before attending the 15th annual NFL Honors<\/a> the next day. The 36-year-old was up for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, which is regularly referred to as the most prestigious honor at the ceremony.<\/p>\n The three-time Super Bowl champion did not walk away with the national award, as Washington Commanders<\/a> veteran Bobby Wagner won this year\u2019s Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. After the ceremony, Kelce headed to an after-party where he danced behind the DJ booth<\/a> as Swift\u2019s \u201cThe Fate of Ophelia\u201d played for the crowd.<\/p>\n Swift did not join her future husband at San Francisco\u2019s Palace of Fine Arts for the NFL<\/a> Honors or the after-party. However, the pop star was preparing for a huge day of her own. The 14-time Grammy winner dropped the music video for her latest single, \u201cOpalite,\u201d a song inspired by her romance with Kelce<\/a>.<\/p>\n Travis Kelce Liked Kam Saunders\u2019 Post About \u2018Boss Lady\u2019 Director Taylor Swift Saunders, one of Swift\u2019s most beloved dancers, posted about the experience on Instagram<\/a> and caught Kelce\u2019s attention. Saunders wrote, \u201cOpalite Kam-eo \ud83e\udd0d\ud83d\ude1d Written and directed by my brilliant boss lady, @taylorswift.<\/p>\n \u201cAs I always say to you\u2026 it is an HONOR to be included and thought of in your world of endless creativity and fun!!! Love you big! \ud83e\udd0d.\u201d<\/p>\n Fans immediately clocked Kelce liking the post. \u201cTRAV LIKE,\u201d one fan account posted<\/a> on X.<\/p>\n Taylor Swift\u2019s Late Night Talk Show Appearance Inspired the \u2018Opalite\u2019 Music Video<\/p>\n Following the release of her 12th studio album, \u201cThe Life of a Showgirl,\u201d Swift embarked on an international press tour that included a stop on \u201cThe Graham Norton Show.\u201d<\/p>\n Swift explained on Instagram, \u201cMy favorite part about writing is that first spark of an idea. It can happen at any time, for any reason. The idea for the Opalite music video crash landed into my imagination when I was doing promo for The Life of a Showgirl. I was a guest on one of my favorite shows, @TheGrahamNortonShowOfficial.<\/p>\n \u201cFor those of you who aren\u2019t familiar, it\u2019s a UK late night show where Graham Norton (the insanely charismatic and lovable host) invites a random group of actors, entertainers, musicians, etc to be on his show and we all sit there and chat like it\u2019s a dinner party. They even serve wine. Anyway. I remember thinking I got ridiculously lucky with the group I was paired with\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cWhen we were all talking during the broadcast, Domhnall made a light hearted joke about wanting to be in one of my music videos. He\u2019s Irish! He was joking! Except that in that moment during the interview, I was instantly struck with an *idea*.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd so a week later he received an email script I\u2019d written for the Opalite video, where he was playing the starring role. I had this thought that it would be wild if all of our fellow guests on the Graham Norton show that night, including Graham himself, could be a part of it too.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tEmily Bicks<\/a> covers the NFL for Heavy.com, with a focus on the Bills, Seahawks and Chiefs.
