Travis Kelce stole the spotlight at the Mahomes Foundation’s Vegas Golf Classic charity gala on May 15—not just for his bidding skills, but for a cheeky, husband-like moment that had everyone laughing.
While the night was packed with high-profile names and generous donations, one of the hottest auction items was a guitar signed by Taylor Swift herself, donated for the event. As bidding started and climbed past $10,000, Kelce casually raised his paddle, sending the price up to $15,000. The crowd took notice, especially with Kansas City Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes standing right next to him, ready to back his boy up.
But just as things got serious at the $15,000 mark, Kelce dropped the mic with a smile and a quick quip: “I just realized I have that already.” Cue the laughter from the audience.
The moment was caught on camera and quickly went viral on social media. Fans on X (formerly Twitter) couldn’t get enough. One called it “sooo cute,” another joked, “He’s flexing. I’m jealous,” while others simply called him “the biggest Swiftie ever.” Some fans even speculated that Kelce’s bid was less about winning and more about raising the stakes to drive up the final price—a subtle power move.
Even though Taylor Swift wasn’t at the event this year, her presence was still felt, especially through the donated guitar from her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department. Last year, Swift actually attended the gala with Kelce, seen beaming as he worked the room. This time, her absence didn’t stop him from making it a Swift-themed headline once again.
Kelce has always been openly supportive of Swift—whether it’s showing up at her shows, speaking about her in interviews, or moments like this that fans lovingly call “peak husband energy.” The guitar eventually went to someone else, but Kelce’s playful gesture ended up being the highlight of the night.
