That’s her man!

Taylor Swift beamed with pride while watching boyfriend Travis Kelce during the NFL season-opener on Thursday, Sept. 5 — and shared a hug with his mom, Donna, when the Kansas City Chiefs star helped quarterback Patrick Mahomes set a new franchise record.

With the score 10-7 in the second quarter, Mahomes scrambled away from pressure to throw a deep, 23-yard pass to Kelce.

After No. 87 caught the ball, Swift rose to her feet to embrace Donna. As she continued to clap, the pop star briefly placed her palm on the suite’s plexiglass before smiling widely after the tight end pointed in her direction.

With the catch, Kelce solidified Mahomes’ spot in the Chiefs’ record books, making the quarterback the all-time leader in passing yards.

Last season, the Chiefs stars surpassed the longtime record held by another famous QB-TE tandem — Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski — for most postseason touchdowns by a pair.
