Taylor Swift-themed emoji used during Travis Kelce game on YouTube TV

YouTube TV is apparently a Swiftie. 

Eagle-eyed Taylor Swift fans who watched Sunday night’s football game between the Kansas City Chiefs – where Swift’s new rumored beau, Travis Kelce, 33, is a tight end – and the New York Jets caught a shout-out to the singer, 33. 

“The YouTube TV slider changed to a heart for today’s game,” one delighted fan pointed out on TikTok. 

“Staaaahpp! And just for this game. Lol,” a comment said. 

“YouTube is a Swiftie!” another fan proclaimed, with a video showing the heart hand icon. 

“OK HOW CUTE IS THIS from YouTube TV!” the fan captioned her video. 

Swift has long used the hand-heart symbol during her concerts.

Dating back to her career beginnings, in 2011, she told The New York Times, “The heart-hand symbol means something between ‘I love you’ and ‘thank you,’. It’s just a sweet, simple message that you can deliver without saying a word.”

Swift and pro football player Kelce, 33, have been making headlines for months.

It started when Kelce first expressed interest in Swift over the summer, after he talked about failing to give her a friendship bracelet with his number on it during her “Eras Tour” stop in Kansas City.

The Messenger reported in September that the pop star and the athlete have been “hanging out.”

And lately, Swift has been attending his games, along with a slew of famous pals like Sophie Turner, Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. 

The resulting public interest had Fox’s broadcast of the Chiefs-Bears game drawing more than 24 million viewers. 

And now, YouTube TV is also leaning into the public enthusiasm of the new link between Swift and the NFL.

“YouTubeTV really leaning into this Taylor Swift business and I am here for it,” one fan wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. 

“When pausing the #SNF game on @YouTubeTV the [hand making a heart] emoji appears. Is this related to Taylor Swift?” another fan posted.

In addition to YouTube TV, the NFL is embracing its sudden link to the musician.

The NFL changed its X header to photos of Swift cheering from the stands, and it updated its bio to read, “We had the best day with you today” — which is a nod to her song “The Best Day” from the 2008 album “Fearless.” 

“The @Chiefs are now 2-0 with @TaylorSwift13 in attendance,” a tweet from the official NFL account read, along with a short clip of Swift and Lively, 36, in the stands.

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy expressed outrage about this. “This is nuts,” Portnoy wrote on X. “The NFL is simping for Taylor.”
