PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA: The Philadelphia Eagles are celebrating their victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on 'Monday Night Football' while seemingly making a reference to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's romance.
Following the Eagles' 21-17 victory over the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium on the night of Monday, November 20, the team's official social media accounts posted a picture of a handcrafted bracelet in green and silver colors, which contained lettered beads spelling out the phrase "Eagles Win."
Taylor Swift's fans started crafting friendship bracelets and exchanging them with fellow attendees during her Eras Tour. Alluding to the ongoing tour, the Eagles captioned their image, "In our winning era."
Eagles' playful gesture is a jibe at Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce
The playful gesture by the Eagles is a clear jibe at Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who lost the ball during the fourth quarter, as well as a tribute to Swift, who calls herself an Eagles supporter.
Travis, 34, and Swift's friendship bracelets have gained notoriety since the Chiefs tight end revealed to his brother Jason Kelce that he was unable to offer 33-year-old Swift a personalized bracelet during one of her Eras tour stops.
On October 22, the multiple Grammy winner made a comeback to Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium while donning a beaded bracelet with Travis' jersey number—87.
In an attempt to further mock Travis, the Eagles posted a meme on Instagram featuring the Kelce brothers dressed in their uniforms along with the caption, "ONE OF THESE GUYS IS A FINALIST FOR SEXIEST MAN ALIVE AND THE OTHER IS DATING AN EAGLES FAN."
The 'Anti-Hero' hitmaker has a history of supporting the Eagles before dating Travis, and Jason has been selected as one of People's Sexiest Men Alive for this year. "Sorry we had to," the team captioned their Instagram photo.
Moreover, ESPN shared a picture of the Kelce brothers trading jerseys along with the description, "Karma is the guy on the Eagles" Eagles beat the Chiefs in the Super Bowl rematch!" Swift's song 'Karma' was referenced on the back of his brother Jason's Eagles' held by Travis, replacing the Eagles player's name.
Swift herself skipped Monday's Eagles-Chiefs game in favor of arranging an Eras concert in Rio de Janeiro that had been canceled owing to extremely high temperatures, according to Billboard.
Swift was spotted sitting next to Travis' mother, Donna Kelce, during the Chiefs' game against the Denver Broncos on October 12, which was the last NFL game she attended.
Impressed by the quirky post, Eagles fans praised it as 'first-class trolling'
Swift's reference by the Eagles to more directly mock Travis’ team, the defending Super Bowl winners, was quickly met with humor from fans.
One such fan took to X (formerly Twitter) to exclaim, "OH THIS LEVEL OF SHADE IS ASTRONOMICAL."
A second one added, "First class Trolling!!" while a third one added, "EAGLES SHUTTING UP TRAVIS KELCE AND SWIFTIES IN THE SAME BLOW!"
"EAGLES Win final. You did it. Party time," another one exclaimed.
Another Eagles fan exclaimed, "Congratulations on your success! It's inspiring to see people thriving in this winning era. Keep up the great work!"
Several others shared funny memes to continue the mockery.
