A US journalist who captured The Moment Taylor Swift stepped out with her rumoured new love interest has said it has been " the craziest 24 hours of My Life ".

Jarrett Payton recorded a video clip of Swift, who was spotted on Sunday for the First Time with Travis Kelce , a star American Football player with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Swift was at The Chiefs ' Home Game against the Chicago Bears , sitting in a Box with Kelce's mother, Donna.

As he watched The Game , Jarrett Payton , who is also a former National Football League player, set an objective for himself.

" My goal is to find Taylor Swift before I leave Arrowhead" he wrote on Sunday on X, formerly known as Twitter, referring to the stadium that hosted The Game .

A few hours later, Mr Payton made good on that promise, catching a glimpse of the superstar with her rumoured new love interest, Travis Kelce , a star tight-end for The Chiefs .

Luckily for Swifties everywhere, he caught it on video. The Four second clip, posted to his X account,

" I was at The Right place at The Right time Last Night , " Mr Payton told The Bbc . " This has been the craziest 24 hours of My Life . "

Footage of The Night show clips of Swift inside Kelce's Box - dancing, chatting to His Mother and cheering for his Touchdown - each moment devoured by Swifties online.

Some ardent fans of Swift, if not Football , began exchanging tips online for How To understand The Game , picking up a new interest in apparent solidarity with The Singer .

" Do you throw The Ball or run with it?? " one person asked on X. " What is a down? " another inquired about a particularly unclear part of Football terminology.

Back in Kansas City , The Chiefs finished off The Bears with a definitive Victory - 41-10. Mr Payton, who works for Chicago's WGN-TV, went down to The Field to conduct some interviews.

When he was done, he spotted Kelce and Swift up in The Stands - and saw his opening.

" This is The Moment in your life when you can either go straight or turn right, " He Said .

Mr Payton turned right, in the direction of The Chiefs locker room, when he was stopped by a Security Guard .

" Don't move, stay right here, " he was told. Right away, he saw a group walk toward him, including a person Mr Payton had seen pictured with Swift earlier in The Night .

" I pulled out my iPhone, started recording, and they walked by a second and a half later, " He Said .

The video shows Swift greet Mr Payton with a casual hello, leaving him speechless.

" I didn't know what to say! I was fanboying out, " He Said .

A Security Guard immediately asked him to delete the video, a request he politely declined.

Mr Payton is no stranger to Fame - American Football stardom in particular.

His father, Walter Payton , was a running back for The Bears and is widely regarded As One of The Greatest players of all time. The younger Mr Payton has attended the Superbowl - Football 's biggest Night - almost every year since his father died in 1999.

But even a run-of-the-mill regular season game felt like Something Special with Swift, The World 's biggest pop star, in attendance on Sunday, He Said .

" Her Being There , felt just like a Superbowl. That's the energy that was in The Building , " He Said .

" She was The Talk of The Game . "

Though Mr Payton said he isn't a certified Swiftie, he is a fan of this potential romance.

" They seem like they were really Happy Together , " He Said .

" She's a megastar, he's a superstar in Football . I know how challenging it's probably going to be for them to make this work, but if it's True Love they'll find a way. "

And, at the very least, the Taylor Swift appearance at an NFL game may bring some extra attention to one of Mr Payton's own loves: Football .

A Day after Swift was pictured at The Game , NFL partner Fanatics told Abc News that they had seen a nearly 400% jump in sales of Travis Kelce merchandise, landing him a spot As One of the Top Five selling players in The League .
