Check Viral vedio Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce clip leads to ‘crazy 24 hours’

Mr Payton’s four-second clip of the couple strolling down a corridor as they left Kansas City’s Arrowhead stadium has been viewed more than 15 million times on his X account.

“I was at the right place at the right time last night,” Mr Payton told the BBC.

The viral run-in made good on a promise that Mr Payton had made to himself hours before, as he watched the Kansas City Chiefs play in the stadium.

“My goal is to find Taylor Swift before I leave Arrowhead”, he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Throughout the game, Swift was widely pictured in a luxury box with Kelce’s mother, Donna, as she danced, chatted and cheered for Kelce’s touchdown against the Chicago Bears – each moment devoured by Swifties online.

The Chiefs finished off the Bears with a definitive victory – 41-10 – and Mr Payton, who works for Chicago’s WGN-TV, went down to the field to conduct some interviews.

When he was done, he spotted Kelce and Swift up in the stands – and saw his opening.

“This is the moment in your life when you can either go straight or turn right,” he said.
