The Grammy winner, who released the video on Kelce’s 36th birthday, also subtly featured her partner’s jersey number, 87, on a hotel room door.

Additionally, the singer included a black-and-white photo of the athlete on a vanity mirror, as spotted by eagle-eyed fans.

Before “The Fate of Ophelia” even premiered via YouTube over the weekend — two days after its movie theater release — social media users called out the picture.

“Omg a photo of Travis in the back lmao,” a fan tweeted on Friday.

Additionally, eagle-eyed fans spotted what appeared to be a photo of Kelce on a vanity mirror.

One Swiftie replied, “I saw this the second time they played the video and squealed! I knew there was more of him somewhere.”

Others speculated about where the shot came from, with guesses ranging from the tight end’s 2016 “Catching Kelce” reality show to his “Grotesquerie” role last year.

Many claimed it was a still from Kelce’s “Kiss, Marry, Kill” interview, during which he chose to smooch his now-fiancée.

During the AfterBuzz TV interview, the Kansas City Chiefs player decided to wed Katy Perry and kill Ariana Grande.

He went viral for shooting his shot with Swift seven years later during a “New Heights” podcast episode.

The NFL star called out the songwriter in July 2023 for not accepting him backstage so he could give her his number — and the duo went public with their romance two months later.

Kelce popped the question in August.

Swift, who teased a “huge” wedding in her “Life of a Showgirl” promo on Friday, wrote many songs about her fiancé for her 12th album.

Not only is “Wood” her raunchiest song yet, but Swift also gave insight into their relationship with “Opalite” and “Wi$h List.”


Let’s be honest—no matter how stressful the day gets, a good viral video can instantly lift your mood. Whether it’s a funny pet doing something silly, a heartwarming moment between strangers, or a wild dance challenge, viral videos are what keep the internet fun and alive.
