Thousands of fans wished Taylor swift a happy birthday Friday and among them, surprisingly, was the NFL.
The pop sensation, who has famously been dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, celebrated her 35th birthday on Friday December 13.
The date is commonly hailed as a holiday by her exceptionally loyal fanbase but after a season and a half of bringing her star power to NFL stadiums across the United States, the singer has seemingly earned one more fan in the form of the league.
The NFL’s official TikTok account posted a tribute video to the songstress to commemorate her 35th trip around the sun.
The adorable montage featured multiple snippets of the ‘Fortnight’ singer cheering on her NFL beau at Chiefs games, including some of her most iconic moments such as the on-field smooch with Kelce at the AFC Championship game in January.
But the heartwarming edit also strayed away from the football field to include moments from her Eras Tour, including Kelce’s iconic appearance on-stage during one of her Wembley performances earlier this year and their romantic backstage reunion in Argentina in November 2023.

‘karma is the guy on the @Chiefs saying happy bday to me,’ the caption read, referencing Swift’s lyric change to her hit ‘Karma’ in honor of Kelce, also 35.
However, interestingly the NFL’s social media team didn’t set the tribute to another of Swift’s many hit records, instead opting to play Toby Gad and Celina Sharma’s cover of ‘All of Me’ by John Legend.
Fans went wild for the birthday message in the comment section, with many claiming the NFL has become an honorary ‘Swiftie.’
‘Never did I think the NFL tik tok would make me cry. Yet here we are,’ one TikTok user posted.
‘not the NFL basically posting a fan edit but I’m here for it,’ another replied to the video, adding a laughing emoji.
‘oh nfl social media manager… I’ve grown quite fond of you,’ one Swifties added, while a fourth chimed in, writing: ‘The NFL account is the biggest swiftie and I love.’
‘imagine explaining the NFL posting a Taylor Swift birthday shout out to your Jan 2023 self what a time to be alive,’ one joked.
‘Tell me who the NFL’s favorite person is without telling me,’ one posted, as another claimed: ‘Dare I say this is the best post the NFL has ever made.’

Swift spent the day before her birthday spreading good cheer in Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City.
The hitmaker looked delighted as she posed with children being treated at Children’s Mercy Hospital, before joining staff for a group snap on Thursday.
Her boyfriend Kelce was also at the hospital but the pair were not pictured together.
The visit suggested that Swift would be in Kansas City for her birthday, however, it is unclear how the couple intended to celebrate the occasion.
