Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Post-Win Hug Evokes Big ‘Leyton’ Moment for One Tree Hill’s Hilarie Burton

One Tree Hill‘s Hilarie Burton has given her stamp of approval to the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce romance that played out on our TV screens Sunday evening.

After the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens in Sunday’s AFC Championship, Kelce and Swift reunited on the field to share a sweet, celebratory embrace. One user on X (fka Twitter), posted a photo of the pair alongside One Tree Hill’s Peyton (Burton) and Lucas (Chad Michael Murray), writing “My mind immediately went here. Where are my fellow One Tree Hill lovers?”

Hilarie Burton reposted the photo, adding, “Yes yes yes.”

The screengrab comes from One Tree Hill‘s Season 4, Episode 9 in which Lucas, the high school basketball star played by Chad Michael Murray, kisses Peyton, a cheerleader played by Burton, amid a flurry of confetti after his team wins the State Championship game.

The Chiefs will compete in the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 11, in Las Vegas. While Swift is set to perform in Tokyo on Saturday, Feb. 10, at 6 pm local time, the pop star reportedly still has time to make it to Allegiant Stadium ahead of kick-off. Some reports are even saying she may, in fact, already be planning her trip.

How could Swift ever make it to the game on time with an international concert the night before? Two words: time zones! Since Tokyo is 14 hours ahead of Las Vegas, if she leaves Japan right after her concert wraps up, a 10-12 hour flight would put her in Las Vegas around 8-10 pm ET. It remains to be seen, however, if such drastic measures will be taken since the pop star has already committed to a grueling Eras Tour schedule, performing many shows back-to-back. Her next show, however, isn’t until the following week, on Friday, Feb. 16, in Melbourne Australia.

You be the judge: Are Swift and Kelce the real-life Peyton and Lucas? Sound off in the comments!
