While Taylor Swift couldn't be there in person to celebrate the Kansas City Chiefs major accomplishment on Thursday night, she was still there in tribute. 

And it wasn't because of Travis Kelce. Instead, it was head coach Andy Reid and star quarterback Patrick Mahomes who made an incredibly sweet gesture. 

The two were pictured during the Super Bowl ring ceremony wearing friendship bracelets, which is something that has become heavily associated with the singer since the start of her Eras Tour. 

Here is Andy Reid wearing his new Super Bowl ring and the friendship bracelet:

And while Swift couldn't be there in person, she made sure to tune in from overseas. 

The singer was watching a livestream from the Instagram of Mecole Hardman's girlfriend, Chariah Gordo.

And she left plenty of comments to prove she was tuning in.

"JOINING THE PARTY FROM LIVERPOOL LET'S GOOOOOOOO," she wrote. And it didn't stop there. 

"😍😍😍"

"YESSSSSSS"

"CONGRATULATIONS"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

"AND WE GET ANOTHER YEAR OF MECOLE 👑"

"Gotta go to sleep it's so late here love you guys❣️❣️❣️"

Swift was a major part of the storyline for the Chiefs last season, attending numerous games in between her busy tour schedule. And that included all of the team's playoff games. 

And then she made sure to show up to Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas, cheering loudly as the team defeated the 49ers in a overtime game, providing Kansas City with back-to-back Super Bowl titles.

Plus, after the big win, her and Travis danced the night away out in Vegas with the rest of the team. 

Why Friendship Bracelets? 

The friendship bracelet phenomenon began at the start of Swift's Era's Tour.

In her song, 'You’re on Your Own, Kid,' Swift sings, "So, make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it."

Because of that line, fans across the world starting making tons of friendship bracelets to trade with one another at games. Some fans even started to give some bracelets to Travis Kelce during the game

So now, this has become the universal symbol for Swifties everywhere. 

Anytime Kelce goes anywhere now, he is handed bracelets from tons of Swifties, having gained a lot of new Chiefs fans simply due to his relationship with the singer. But for Reid and Mahomes to join in on the fun proves just how much she has impacted Chiefs Kingdom.
