Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Zay Flowers has quickly developed a reputation for creative and elaborate touchdown celebrations, and he took it to a new level during Sunday's AFC Championship Game.

Having previously imitated the Grinch stealing Christmas after scoring against the San Francisco 49ers on Christmas night, and handing out flowers on another occasion, in homage to his last name, in the biggest game of the Ravens' season Flowers this time took aim at Taylor Swift.
Flowers scored an electrifying touchdown, hauling in a 30-yard strike from Lamar Jackson to tie the game at 7-7, before gathering his teammates to swag surf for the cameras at the back of the end zone.

Flowers' celebration comes two weeks after the Chiefs and Arrowhead Stadium gameday personnel used the Fast Life Yungstaz song to pump up the home crowd.
That night, during the Kansas City Chiefs' blowout victory over the Miami Dolphins, cameras caught Swift, Donna Kelce (Chiefs All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce's mother) swag surfing in their Arrowhead suite.

Flowers caught 77 passes for 858 yards with five touchdowns during his rookie campaign, making a case as a top challenger to Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud as the NFL Offensive Rookie of The Year.
Swift was in attendance, as she has been several times throughout the 2023 NFL season, in support of her boyfriend, Chiefs All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce. Kelce opened the scoring after catching a 19-yard touchdown pass from Mahomes. The touchdown was a record-setting sixth in his career in the AFC Championship Game.
Sunday's Game got off to a chippy start, even before the contest kicked off, and Flowers' celebration will likely do little to cool the tempers between both teams.
