Fans spotted a Taylor Swift-themed easter egg during the 'Sunday Night Football' stream on YouTube — but you had to pause to see it
  • Taylor Swift has been making appearances at Chiefs games amid a rumored romance with Travis Kelce.
  • Fans noticed a Taylor Swift-themed easter egg while watching the Chiefs vs. Jets game on YouTube TV.

It's been almost impossible to escape chatter about Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The excitement over their rumored romance and Swift's appearance at Kelce's games has boosted jersey sales and Sunday Night Football ratings as the singer's fans tune in for a glimpse of the Eras Tour star.

Now, even YouTube TV is getting in on the hype.

On Sunday night during the Chiefs match-up with the New York Jets, some Swifties and football fans watching the game on YouTube TV noticed a Taylor Swift-themed easter egg hidden in plain sight.

Eagle-eyed fans on Reddit and X noticed that the scrub button transformed into a hand-heart emoji, a likely reference to Taylor Swift, who was at the game.

The hand-heart symbol is one that Swift has been known to do for years, since the singer was in high school. She even spoke about it with The New York Times back in 2011, saying that the hand gesture was meant as a way to express thanks and love to her fans.

"The heart-hand symbol means something between 'I love you' and 'thank you,'"Swift told the publication. "It's just a sweet, simple message that you can deliver without saying a word."

Taylor Swift was first seen at a Chiefs game on September 24 sitting with Kelce's family. Apparently, Kelce invited Swift himself after seeing her in concert. The two even went out for drinks after the game.

Kelce called Swift "ballsy" for attending the game and said he enjoyed seeing her interact with his mom. Their rumored relationship has boosted public interest in the Chiefs and in Kelce, and sales for Kelce merch has also soared.
