Taylor Swift was pictured kissing Travis Kelce on the cheek after the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Los Angeles Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.

While it's become pretty clear that the Midnights singer and NFL pro are almost certainly in a romantic relationship, this is the first time there has been evidence of Swift initiating PDA. (They've previously been pictured holding hands, and Kelce was also seen adorably kissing Swift's head after their SNL cameos.)

This new picture was part of a series posted on Instagram by Chariah Gordon, an influencer and the girlfriend of Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr.

In these photos, Swift, Kelce, Gordon and Hardman pose together, with the second picture showing Swift kissing Kelce on the cheek with her left hand resting possessively on his chest (THE girlfriend pose, if you will).

Swift and Gordon also posed together just the two of them, and seemed to have become great pals now that the singer is a WAG (Swift also seems really close with Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes).

After Gordon posted these pictures, her followers went wild.

"Not the journalist we thought we’d get but the journalism we deserved," wrote one person.

"girl woke up today and thought 'today im gonna be swifties superhero,'" said another.

"Doing the Lord’s work posting this photo," commented a third person.

The Chargers game was the fourth Swift has attended since rumors she's dating Kelce began. This time, she even wore a friendship bracelet with the tight end's number 87 written on it to cheer him on. So cute!!!
