Hilarie Burton-Morgan sees shades of her and husband Jeffrey Dean Morgan's relationship in Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's recent meet-cute.

After Swift attended the Kansas City Chiefs tight end's game in Missouri over the weekend, Burton-Morgan took to social media and praised the NFL star for inviting the Grammy winner to his workplace — recalling how her husband courted her similarly over a decade ago.

"Pro tip…you deserve someone who invites you to work with them," wrote the One Tree Hill actress, 41, on X (formerly Twitter) Tuesday.

Burton-Morgan added that the gesture shows a romantic interest's thinks "you’re so awesome" and wants "everyone from buddies to the boss to meet you." She also said inviting someone else into their professional space shows "they work hard & they’re GOOD, & they want you to see that."

Recalling her early days with Morgan, 57, whom she started dating in 2009 and married 10 years later, Burton-Morgan said she "flew to see JDM on a set 14 yrs ago." It's unclear which set she visited, but he was working on several projects around that time, including Grey's Anatomy.

Most of the internet is currently obsessed with Swift and Kelce, both 33, getting friendly — and Burton-Morgan is no exception: "I am painfully invested in this," she posted to X on Monday.

After Kelce attended Swift's Eras Tour concert at Arrowhead Stadium — where the Chiefs play — in July, he spoke about wanting to give his number to her at the show and feeling "disappointed" they couldn't meet.

He then invited her to watch one of his games at the stadium during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show podcast, which she did on Sunday, when the Chiefs played the Chicago Bears. The "Lavender Haze" musician watched the match from Kelce's family suite alongside his mother, Donna.

Following the game, Swift and Kelce were captured on video as they walked together out of the building after his team's 41-10 win. Then, they drove off together to a restaurant he rented out for a small gathering with friends and family, a source told PEOPLE earlier this week.

"They're just hanging out, and there's no pressure," said the insider of their current bond.
