Travis Kelce Reacts to Taylor Swift’s Surprise Performance

by

Travis Kelce was enchanted to see Taylor Swift in her element.

On the day following the unexpected performance by the “Lavender Haze” artist, aged 35, at her Tight End University concert on June 24, I extended a heartfelt acknowledgement to her as a devoted admirer.

On June 25th, NFL posted multiple pictures from Taylor’s concert at Nashville, featuring her singing “Shake It Off” with Kane Brown. Much like other Swift fans commenting below, Travis expressed his admiration for her performance using a heartfelt nickname: “Turn up the volume, Tay Tay!!!

It’s clear that the tight end was thrilled to catch Taylor performing during her 1989 era, since he was spotted enthusiastically moving his head along with the song’s chorus. This pair, who started dating in September 2023, even expressed their admiration for the remixed version of the track the previous night, when a fan shared an endearing TikTok video of them lip-syncing the lyrics and dancing together amidst a bustling crowd.

At the Tennessee venue, Taylor and Travis, both aged 35, weren’t the only couple present. The singer additionally invited her long-term friend Abigail Anderson and her husband Charles Berard – who became parents for the first time in August – to the occasion as well.

For Taylor, this impromptu performance held significant weight since it had been a while since she played that particular hit during her Eras Tour back in December. Unlike the carefully orchestrated playlist of her tour, this recent show was spontaneous.

Taylor quipped on stage, adorned in a black gown and her iconic red lipstick, ‘We made up our minds about performing three minutes ago.’ She continued, sharing a laugh with Kane as they enjoyed some drinks, ‘Wondering aloud, how raucous could this place get? Theoretically, just how loud could the singing be here?’

Indeed, the Midnights star has plenty to rejoice about when it comes to her music collection, since she recently acquired the master recordings for her first six albums – Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, and Reputation – from Shamrock Capital, just a few days before her upcoming performance.

And fittingly, Travis gushed over the massive accomplishment.

Travis expressed appreciation on the June 4th episode of their podcast, New Heights, saying, “A big shout-out to Tay Tay! I just reacquired all her music, so it’s officially hers again.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romantic journey started in July 2023, as her Eras Tour happened to be scheduled at Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri.

As an ardent Taylor Swift fan, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end eagerly watched the performance, hoping to present Taylor with a charm bracelet bearing his number as a token of friendship. Unfortunately, he was unable to make the connection during the show because of her pre-performance routines.

Travis mentioned on his New Heights podcast during its July 26th episode that he felt let down because she doesn’t converse before or after performances as she needs to preserve her voice for the 44 songs she sings. As a result, he was slightly disappointed and didn’t get the chance to give her one of the bracelets he made for her.

Following an embarrassing slip-up, which Travis himself would later refer to as “purely metal,” he mustered up the courage to extend a invitation to the Grammy winner for a game at Arrowhead Stadium, taking the chance to ask them out.

He mentioned on The Pat McAfee Show that he had suggested something and invited her to a performance. He said, “You’ve impressed me with your performances at Arrowhead, so why don’t you come watch me perform there too, and we can see who puts on a more exciting show.” So, the outcome of their future encounters remains to be seen.

During his initial meeting with Taylor, Travis sported a mustache that he had grown since August, during the training camp.

In his retrospective, he mentioned, “For a while, that mustache and the number 87 were quite legendary, and I sported them when I first encountered Taylor.

According to a reliable source privy to the matter, by early September, Travis and Taylor had been exchanging occasional texts and conversations.

“It’s been very low-key,” the insider explained, “as he’s been in season.”

Following Travis’ invitation, Taylor attended the game between Donna Kelce (Travis’ mom) and the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium, where they faced off against the Chicago Bears. Post-game, pictures emerged of Taylor and Travis sharing affectionate moments at a nearby bar.

Initially, people believed they were meeting face-to-face for the first time, but later on, the “Karma” singer disclosed that they had already spent a considerable period interacting with each other prior to their encounter.

As Taylor noted, “We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.” 

To show that things were becoming more serious, Taylor invited her group of friends – Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner, Hugh Jackman, Sabrina Carpenter, and Antoni Porowski – to cheer for the Chiefs against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

It’s worth noting that one indication suggesting Travis might be “The 1” is Taylor’s growing friendship with Brittany Mahomes, who’s married to Travis’ close friend and fellow NFL player Patrick Mahomes, both on and off the field.

On October 14th, the couple unexpectedly joined the cast of Saturday Night Live, marking their romantic escapade on television. Additionally, they attended the after-party for the NBC sketch show and spent an evening together at the Waverly Inn in New York City.

During a break from his NFL schedule, Travis took a trip to Argentina to attend the South American leg of Taylor’s Eras Tour. Not only did the football player get closer to Taylor’s father, Scott Swift, at the concert in Buenos Aires on November 11th, but he also received a personal recognition from the stage.

“Karma is that guy on the Chiefs,” Taylor sang, “coming straight home to me.”

Following the performance, the artist of Midnights was spotted rushing towards Travis in the backstage area and enthusiastically embracing him with a heartfelt kiss.

Taylor addressed the lavender craze surrounding her appearances at Travis’ games.

She shared with Time magazine, “I’ll be watching him pursue his passion, we’re supporting each other, there are others present, and we don’t mind. On the contrary, in some cases, it takes a lot of effort to keep our relationship hidden.

 

On December 17th, the music legend transformed Travis’ game into a gathering for the whole family by inviting her father to support him.

Taylor and Travis celebrated their very first New Year’s Eve together, exchanging a tender kiss as the clock chimed midnight on January 1st.

I, being a devoted follower, continued to strengthen my bond with Travis’ family. Last weekend, I spent time with his brother, Jason Kelce, and his sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce, at the Chiefs’ exciting matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Taylor met up with Travis on the football field as the Chiefs clinched their triumph in the AFC Championship, securing them a place in the 2024 Super Bowl. Afterward, they joyously locked lips and expressed their love for each other by saying “L-word.

“Tay, I’m gonna enjoy with the guys,” he told her. “I love you—so much it’s not funny.”

 
 

On February 11, 2024, following Travis’s successful leadership that brought the Kansas City Chiefs victory on the Las Vegas field, the duo shared a kiss.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that I was the one who, for the very first time, posted footage of Travis on social media this February 12th. You see, it all happened after the Super Bowl when I decided to take my parents out clubbing with none other than the athlete himself! Needless to say, it was quite an amusing experience, and I couldn’t help but poke a little fun at the situation.

Taylor Swift shared her first Instagram post with Travis Scott, a group selfie including them, Prince William, Kate Middleton, their eldest children Prince George and Princess Charlotte, taken backstage during Taylor’s concert at Wembley Stadium in London for her Eras tour.

At the seventh Eras tour concert he attended in London’s Wembley Stadium, the NFL player made an appearance on stage alongside his girlfriend, assisting during her rendition of “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart”.

Taylor attended the initial game of the 2024-25 season for the Chief’s regular schedule alongside Travis. In a photo posted by Chariah Gordon, they seem to be recreating an affectionate moment similar to the one they had in October 2023. Chariah Gordon is seen with her boyfriend, Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman, in this image.

They went to the wedding of Karen Elson, who is now married to Lee Foster, the owner of Electric Lady Studios, which took place in New York City.

The next day, the pair attended the men’s singles final match at the U.S. Open.

The two stepped out for a double dinner date with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds in NYC.

Over the final weekend of 2024, they left together for two consecutive outings in New York City. On each occasion, their attire coordinated perfectly.
