As the Kansas City Chiefs' star tight end, 34, earned another receiving touchdown and helped his team clinch victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day, 29-10, he also further etched his name in the franchise’s history books.

On Wednesday, Dec. 25, Kelce officially passed Chiefs legend Tony Gonzalez for the franchise record of all-time receiving touchdowns, when afourth-quarter playand 12-yard grab earned him his 77th receiving TD. The NFL itselfconfirmed the stat, as Kelce’s 77 career receiving touchdowns sit just above Gonzalez’s 76, as well as above Otis Taylor’s 57, Tyreek Hill’s 56 and Chris Burford’s 55.

That day, the Chiefs celebrated its latest record-breaker with a timelyInstagram snap, showing Kelce’s face alongside the words “most receiving touchdowns.” And while she wasn’t present at the Dec. 25 game, Swift, 35, did leave a supportive “like” on the Chiefs' photo, which featured a celebratory caption for Kelce.

“If you ever can’t find Travis, chances are he’s in the end zone,” the team wrote. “Congrats, @killatrav!”

“He’s such a good dude and the whole Taylor Swift thing now,” the father of four, who played in the NFL for 17 seasons, said before adding how new types of fans are approaching him.

“I was like, ‘Oh, how cool, I’m getting so popular that a 10-year-old girl [wants to talk to me],'” Gonzalez shared, laughing. “She goes, ‘Hi, Is your name Tony? Do you know Travis Kelce?’ But I think it’s great that Taylor’s done this for the NFL, she’s brought a whole new audience, it’s been great.”
