Karma is the guy on the chiefs.

Taylor Swift adorably changed the lyrics to one of her songs to reference Travis Kelce over the weekend – and fans caught the NFL star’s sweet reaction on camera.

The Kansas City Chiefs player looked visibly shocked when the songstress gave him a not-so-subtle shout-out during her concert in Buenos Aires Saturday night.

In her hit song “Karma,” Swift usually sings, “Karma is the guy on the screen.” However, with Kelce in attendance, she switched up the line to, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me.”

Videos taken by concertgoers showed Kelce grinning from ear to ear before holding his hands up to his face in shock, The New York Post reports.

The singer’s dad, Scott Swift, even turned to the two-time Super Bowl champ in celebration. They were seen cheering as they continued to dance in the VIP tent, where they were joined by tour opener Sabrina Carpenter and TikTok star Chris Olsen.

It seems the lyric change was a surprise to everyone, as Taylor’s backup dancers even looked shocked when they reacted to the line in real time.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end sweetly blew his new girlfriend a kiss at the end of the show, before sealing the night with a real kiss.

Kelce waited for the “Anti-Hero” singer backstage at Estadio Monumental, per video taken by a Swiftie in attendance, and planted a kiss on her as she gave him a big hug.

Cheers erupted from the crowd as fans saw the 33-year-old Grammy winner and 34-year-old athlete packing on the PDA in person.

Kelce — who is on a bye week — skipped opening night of the Eras Tour’s South American leg on Thursday to attend teammate Patrick Mahomes’ charity event in Kansas City.

However, Page Six confirmed that he would be making his way to Argentina to be with Taylor before quickly returning to the US for his next NFL game.

“He has to be back on Sunday for practice on Monday,” the insider told us last week.

He jetted in on Friday and the pair were seen out to dinner together with her father, following a string of public sightings in New York City, and around the US, over the past two months.

The pop star has attended several of his football games around the country, and the pair even jetted to NYC together in October for a surprise appearances on “Saturday Night Live.”

“I think they’re a wonderful couple,” Kelce’s dad, Ed, told “Entertainment Tonight.”

“They’re two wonderful people and they are enjoying each other’s company and supporting each other.”
