Travis Kelce joins ‘The Fate of Ophelia’ trend after 100th touchdown
Travis Kelce celebrated his 100th career touchdown on Monday night with a dance inspired by Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia,” from her 2025 album The Life of a Showgirl. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end reached the milestone during the team’s win against the Washington Commanders. As the crowd erupted, Kelce broke into choreography from Swift’s viral TikTok trend associated with the track.
Fans on social media immediately recognized the move. The KelceBrothers fan page captioned their post, “Travis’s touchdown dance was The Fate of Ophelia. Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes.” One fan commented, “TK with the Ophelia MV choreo TD celly,” while another wrote, “The human exclamation point. Doing his FOO choreo.”
The viral trend originated from Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia” music video, which features expressive hand choreography that fans have widely replicated online. Many have used the lyrics, “Pledge allegiance to your hand, your team, your vibe,” as part of the challenge’s tagline. Swift was seen smiling from the stands as Kelce danced, cheering beside Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Kelce’s milestone adds to a season marked by crossover fan moments between the NFL and Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl era. Comments under the post flooded with celebratory messages like “He keeps it 100” and “Way to go Travis.” The KelceBrothers Instagram page limited comments shortly after posting, as engagement soared past 7,000 likes within hours of upload. The dance video quickly trended on TikTok and Instagram Reels, with users syncing clips to Swift’s track.
