Taylor Swift joined her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, on the field after the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, celebrating the team's latest trip to the Super Bowl and, apparently, Swift's unofficial rookie status.

On the latest episode of his New Heights podcast, Kelce and his brother, Jason Kelce, noted Swift's presence during the celebration, giving the pop star a tongue-in-cheek nod.

"Shout out to the newest member of the Chiefs' kingdom: Taylor Swift, who has officially reached the Super Bowl in her rookie year," Jason said after the brothers discussed the game against the Ravens. "That's kind of cool."

The brothers chuckled together.

"Shout out to Tay," Kelce said. "Thanks for joining the team."

Swift has, of course, been a regular presence at Chiefs games whenever possible this season, catching nearly all of Kelce's games when she wasn't gone on the international leg of her Eras Tour. She was in a luxury box with Jason for the Chiefs' Divisional Round win over the Buffalo Bills, witnessing his wild shirtless celebration in her first meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles center.

On Sunday, the Chiefs narrowly defeated a Ravens team that many pundits picked as the Super Bowl favorite prior to the playoffs. The Chiefs have worked their way through a number of challenges this year.

"It just feels like it's a little bit sweeter, man," Travis told Jason on New Heights. "I don't want to rip out anyone's heart in KC, but this road to where we are now has been more of a challenge, which means you have to overcome more, which means it kind of means a little bit more.

"Although I cherish all the games that I play in Arrowhead [Stadium], every single one of them, baby, this one meant a lot, man. It meant a lot because of the guys we had and how we persevered through a lot of the things that we weren't doing during the season. It felt that much better with those guys."

After the game, Kelce greeted Swift with a kiss. "I'm going to enjoy with the guys," Kelce told her, adding, "I love you."

Kelce confirmed on the podcast that he did hang with the guys. The Chiefs enjoyed their trip back to Kansas City.

"We got to have an entire two-hour flight to ourselves where it was just us partying on the fricking plane back home man, and it was electric," he said. "It was awesome. We had the coaches coming back to where the players were and just reminiscing on the season and enjoying every single bit of being around each other and what we accomplished yet again for the second year straight."

And, for the second year straight, the Chiefs have a chance to end their season with a win. They kick off the Super Bowl at 6:30 p.m. on February 11 against the San Francisco 49ers.
