Travis Kelce flashes a peace sign to Chiefs fans at the team hotel in Baltimore before heading to M&T Bank Stadium for Kansas City’s huge showdown against the Ravens
Confident and with his trademark swagger Travis Kelce flashed the peace sign at cheering fans as he and his fellow Kansas City Chiefs loaded into coaches to head from their hotel to M&T Bank stadium early Sunday afternoon.
The Chiefs then shared a video of the tight end arriving at the stadium by quoting Taylor Swift’s lyric from her song ‘Ready For It’: ‘Knew he was a Killa first time that we saw him’ – with ‘killer’ spelt the way Kelce does for his ‘KillaTrav’ nickname and Instagram handle.
Seen in these exclusive pictures obtained by DailyMail.com, Kelce and the Chiefs team left shortly after 12.30pm with the clock ticking down to their AFC Championship face-off with the Baltimore Ravens, which starts at 3pm EST.
Kelce, 34, followed quarterback Patrick Mahomes, 28, who was sharply dressed in a maroon suit, complete with black tie, a smart pocket square and velvet slipper style shoes despite the damp Maryland drizzle.
Chiefs fans crowded to see their heroes and holler support for what they hope will be the game that sees them secure their ticket to Las Vegas later in the month.

Kelce and the Chiefs are one win from the Super Bowl – but must beat Baltimore Ravens
Kelce is set to have girlfriend Taylor Swift and brother Jason cheering him on from the stands
Kelce needs to repeat last week’s two-touchdown performance for his team to beat the Ravens
If Kelce leads his team to victory, the Chiefs will have upset the odds to return to the Super Bowl with a chance of winning football’s ultimate prize for a second straight season.
But lose, and the season is over – and he will walk into the M&T Bank Stadium today knowing that most people expect the Ravens to win.
His girlfriend, Taylor Swift, left Manhattan at around midday to make the short flight to Maryland from New York while his brother, Jason, is expected to cheer the Chiefs on from the stands as well.
Kelce heads into today’s game with confidence surging. He scored two touchdowns last weekend in the dramatic win over the Buffalo Bills, with the Chiefs winning 27-24 at Highmark Stadium.
But the Ravens are a harder proposition, led by Lamar Jackson at quarterback – the runaway choice to win MVP this season.
The Ravens are many people’s pick to go all the way and win the Super Bowl and at the very least, Kelce needs to repeat his heroics from last weekend.
‘I’m thinking about this one on Sunday and I want it more than I’ve ever wanted one in my life,’ Kelce told reporters back in Kansas City on Friday afternoon.
‘There’s nothing like playoff football,’ he added. ‘It doesn’t matter who you are, where you play, if you rally together with the men and women that you’ve got and the team that you’ve got, like I said you can play anywhere you want to. You got to bring that juice no matter who’s in the crowd.’
