Travis Kelce’s head is in the game!

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 35, scored his first touchdown of the 2025 NFL season in week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers in São Paulo, Brazil on Friday, Sept. 5.

Kelce completed a pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes for a 37-yard score in the fourth quarter, and whipped out some moves in the end zone to celebrate.

First the NFL star mimicked a bull, putting his hands to his helmet with his index fingers pointed out like horns and scraped his foot on the ground before charging forward.

Then, Kelce shook it off with his teammates — Tyquan Thornton and JuJu Smith-Schuster — busting out a little happy dance afterwards. The three players shimmied in sync together before Mahomes came over to grab them.

The ensuing two-point conversion was no good, and last year’s AFC champs ultimately lost the game, 27-21.

Kelce did in fact have a bit to shake off from earlier in the game. During the third quarter, he was slapped in the face mask by Teair Tart, which resulted in a crucial personal foul penalty.

And at the start of the game, Kelce was involved in a brutal collision with his teammate Xavier Worthy when they slammed into each other during a play.

Last year, in a game against the Chargers, Mahomes inadvertently injured teammate Rashee Rice, who subsequently missed the rest of the season.

In Friday night’s game, Worthy suffered a shoulder injury and did not return to the field.

Kelce, though, has been all smiles since he touched down in South America on Sept. 3. Even at the start of the game, the Ohio native was seen dancing on the field and interacting with fans in the crowd.

Upon his arrival to the São Paulo airport, he was swarmed by fans who cheered and gave him high fives. He was also in good spirits during a pre-game Chiefs press conference with Mahomes the following day.

During the presser, Kelce happily answered a question about his fiancée Taylor Swift and their recent engagement.

“I would say, ever since I’ve been dating Taylor, life has been fun… It’s been exciting,” the tight end told the room of reporters.

“Obviously, a lot more eyes, and I accept that, but I’m living life. Living on a high, I guess.”

The athlete and pop superstar, who wasn’t in attendance at the Brazil game, announced their engagement in a joint Instagram post on Aug. 26.
