Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs will begin their quest for their third Super Bowl in a row on Thursday night when they play host to the Baltimore Ravens. It’s unclear how much longer Kelce will be in the NFL, as the soon-to-be 35-year-old has flirted with the idea of retiring but signed a 2-year contract extension earlier this offseason.
Whenever he decides to hang them up, there will be no shortage of things for Kelce to do, whether that’s continuing his media career or just hanging out at Taylor Swift concerts. Kelce has been a fixture at Swift’s shows during The Eras Tour, and in a recent interview with CBS, he got asked what his favorite song is during his partner’s epic show. He decided to take, quite possibly, the most diplomatic route he could.
“I got a bunch of ’em, they’re all my favorite, they’re all my favorite, literally, every single one,” Kelce said. “You see me at a concert, you’ll see me singing ’em all.”
Kelce has been asked to pick his favorite songs by his partner in the past, and went with “Blank Space,” “Cruel Summer,” and “So High School.” I, for one, think that “Champagne Problems” is getting robbed here, but who am I to say?
Believe it or not, Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign actually released their long-awaited album Vultures 2. One track that’s generating some attention is “Lifestyle,” which sees Lil Wayne addressing Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
On his opening verse, Wayne raps, “I twist my Taylor spliffs tight at the end like Travis Kelce.”
It didn’t take long for Swift to deliver what some have interpreted as a response to the line. She performed in Warsaw, Poland hours after the song was released, and at one point, she wore a t-shirt that says “I Bet You Think About Me.”
As Page Six notes, it’s a shirt Swift has worn on stage before, but some fans believe her choosing to wear it at that show wasn’t a coincidence.
One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “She’s so funny for wearing the I bet you think about me shirt after Ka*ye name dropped her and Travis in his song an actual comedian.” Another said, “[When I] saw the k*nye thing a little bit ago and I knew she was gonna wear it lmao.”
In late 2023, Swift addressed her infamous phone call with Ye, calling it a “fully manufactured frame job.” Months later, Ye wrote on social media, “I’m sure I’ve been far more helpful to Taylor Swift’s career than harmful.”
Travis Kelce is no stranger to a big stage, as the star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs has played in four Super Bowls and won three of them. He’s usually doing the thing he does best when tens of thousands of people are watching him live (and millions more on TV), but on Sunday night in London he took a bit of a step outside his normal comfort zone in support of his girlfriend.
At Taylor Swift’s third night of The Eras Tour in London, Kelce made his on-stage debut, joining two of Swift’s dancers for a song transition before “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart,” carrying Swift to a broken heart-shaped couch. Unsurprisingly, when the camera zoomed in to show it was Kelce dressed as one of the dancers, the crowd went wild, and he seemed to have the time of his life on stage.
After the show, Swift posted to Instagram to thank all the special guests from that evening, including Gracie Abrams who debuted a new song with Swift, and that included Travis who had Taylor “cracking up/swooning” over his performance.
Wembley Stadium round one was so surreal. Looking out into crowds of 90,000 fans each night and hearing that VOLUME… Those were some of the loudest crowds I’ve ever heard. Acoustic sections went OFF. I got to sing ‘Castles Crumbling’ with @yelyahwilliams for the first time – hadn’t performed with her since 2011 and man my heart was just so full of love for her and our friendship. Then the impossibly gifted and wonderful @gracieabrams came and surprised the crowd with the first performance of our song ‘us.’ And I’m still cracking up/swooning over @killatrav’s Eras Tour debut Never going to forget these shows. Can’t wait to do it 5 more times in August. Up next: Dublin!!
We’ll see if Kelce pops up on stage again before the Chiefs start training camp, or if this was just a one-time appearance, and maybe Travis can work on finding a way to get Taylor on the field with the Chiefs at some point.
Travis is typically in the VIP area enjoying the show with the various celebrities that show up for each night of the tour, but on Sunday he got much more involved, taking an on-stage role for the first time. Late in Sunday’s tour stop in London, fans were stunned to see Kelce dressed as one of Swift’s dancers in a top hat and tuxedo during a transition between “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” into “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart,” as he came out on stage, clearly having a blast, and carried Swift to a broken heart-shaped couch before touching up Swift’s makeup (and miming doing the same for himself).
It’s the first time we’ve seen Kelce hop up on stage, and he certainly seemed to enjoy every minute of it, trotting out with a little heel click and hamming it up as the crowd went crazy at his appearance. Typically we see Kelce’s dance skills in the end zone, but this time he put himself to the test with some professionals on stage. We’ll have to see if this fall he works any The Eras Tour choreography into his celebrations. Also, this sets the bar high for Swift when she shows up at her next Chiefs game, as it might be tough to reciprocate this moment — unless she’s ready to take some snaps at slot receiver.
Yesterday (June 21), Prince William and gang decided to celebrate his birthday by attending the “Fortnight” singer’s The Eras Tour stop at Wembley Stadium.
Just like in Swift’s performance across the US, The Royal Family celebrated Swift’s arrival by having service people from the British Army and The Royal Corps of Army Music perform “Changing of the Guard (Taylor’s Version)” a cleverly named cover of Swift’s hit song “Shake It Off.”

Move over Mission Impossible. If anyone needed even more confirmation that pop stars saved movie theaters in 2023, AMC Theaters revealed just how thankful they were for Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour and Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour being released as films through unique deals with their chain.
“What is particularly noteworthy is how much AMC benefited from our trailblazing industry leading efforts with our highly successful distribution of two concert movies Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour and Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé,” AMC’s CEO Adam Aron shared with Deadline. He also noted, “Literally, all of that increase in AMC’s Revenue and EBITDA is attributable to our having shown these two movies in our theatres in the U.S. and internationally.”
By their two movies alone, their fourth-quarter earnings rose by 11%, providing the theater company with $1.1 billion in revenue. This was way higher than what Wall Street had apparently initially projected for AMC.
“This is a stunning result given that neither of these films were on anyone’s drawing board until mid-year, and that they were the first movies ever distributed by AMC in our entire 103-year history,” Aron said.
“To that end, our praise for Taylor Swift and Beyoncé Knowles Carter has no limit, and we offer our boundless thanks to these two world class artists for entrusting AMC to collaborate with them as to the theatrical exhibition of their two masterpiece creations,” he added.
Several outlets have reported that Travis Kelce boarded a private jet from Hawaii to Sydney earlier today to join Taylor Swift on her Eras Tour. Kelce, who was spotted in Las Vegas earlier in the week, reportedly flew from LA to Hawaii before staying the night in the island state. He then reportedly transferred to a private jet that departed for Sydney, where Swift is currently performing, earlier today.
It marks something of an inverse journey to the one that Swift made earlier this month. Swift made a rapid departure from Tokyo on February 10. She flew through the night to make it to Vegas for the Super Bowl the following day. Despite the travel ordeal, Swift appeared fresh-faced and ready to party alongside Ice Spice at the big game. Swift has four shows in Sydney to end February before opening March with a six-show run in Singapore. After that, the pop megastar heads to Europe, where she will remain until August alongside opening act Paramore. After that, Swift returns to North America. She ends her tour with shows in Miami, New Orleans, Indianapolis, Toronto, and Vancouver.
However, prior to his circumnavigation, Kelce was spotted in Vegas, the site of his third career Super Bowl win, after a chaotic week. Members of Kelce’s entourage posted shots of the tight end golfing and enjoying Mexican food on the strip. Of course, Kelce has had a week like no other. Just days after winning Super Bowl LVIII, Kelce was caught up in a mass shooting when individuals opened fire at the Chiefs’ victory parade in Kansas City.’
Furthermore, sources indicate that Kelce might not be the only member of the team headed back to Vegas. DJ Adam Daudier, who was playing at Toca Madera during Kelce’s meal, told TMZ that Kelce had “asked me to play a private event for the Kansas City Chiefs this Friday.” Kelce had 93 yards and no touchdowns during the Chiefs’ overtime comeback win in the Super Bowl against the 49ers.
Speculation has arisen that Taylor Swift may be racing to Las Vegas to attend the Super Bowl after a rapid departure from Tokyo, Japan. Swift kicked off the Asian and European leg of her Eras Tour with a quartet of shows in the Japanese capital. However, for many people, this indicated that she would not be in attendance to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, play in the Super Bowl. Despite this, Swift’s departure from Tokyo might indicate she is trying to make it back to the US before tomorrow night.
However, some players aren’t thinking about Swift’s potential impact. Musician, CEO, and 49ers wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud has told TMZ that his focus this Sunday is the Super Bowl, not meeting Swift. “I’m a big fan of greatness. She’s great at what she do. She big time. But, hey, this is football. We don’t care about no album coming out. We don’t care about none of that. Congrats to her on the Grammy thing she did, but we don’t care about none of that, man,” McCloud said.
Meanwhile, Travis Kelce made reference to Taylor Swift‘s Argentina concert lyric change when asked to “finish the lyric” at a Super Bowl press conference. When asked by a reporter to finish the lyric “Karma is the guy on the…”, Kelce said “Chiefs”. While some outlets reported this moment as Kelce getting the lyric wrong, he was actually making reference to the intentional change Swift made to the lyrics of the song for a concert last year.
Of course, Kelce was hit with a lot of questions about Swift, whose presence at the Super Bowl is in question due to her current tour schedule. Swift is performing in Tokyo until February 10, one day before the Super Bowl in Vegas. Swift and Kelce have been publicly together since Week 3 of the NFL season. However, Swift revealed during her TIME Person of the Year interview that they had been dating for at least a month before their first public outing.
Taylor Swift is one of the biggest celebrities in the world right now, with over 200 million records sold worldwide and dozens of platinum-selling albums. The pop singer is no stranger to celebrity romances, having famously dated Harry Styles, John Mayer, Joe Jonas, and several others. Swifties went wild when Taylor confirmed her romance with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in October 2023. Though the relationship is still fairly new, the pair have been a media sensation in recent months, leading to a notable uptick in NFL and pop music crossovers. Here’s a comprehensive timeline of the relationship so far.

Jason quickly backtracked his comments, elucidating, “I don’t really know a lot about Travis’s love life. I try to keep his business kind of his business, stay out of that world.”
September 24 2023: Swift Attends A Kansas City Chiefs Game

Adding fuel to the romance rumors, Taylor Swift viewed the NFL game from Kelce’s suite, beside his mother, Donna, and even left the venue together. The game took place at Arrowhead Stadium, the same location where Kelce had watched the singer perform live just months earlier.

Swift was at the October 1 match against the New York Jets, the October 12 match against the Denver Broncos, and the October 22 match against the Los Angeles Chargers. During this time, the NFL leaned full-swing into the budding relationship, including a host of media coverage and social media posts referencing the pair.
Travis Kelce explained during an episode of his podcast, New Heights With Jason and Travis Kelce, that the league was leaning into the shared audience of sports and music fans. However, he and Jason agreed they were overdoing it with the couple’s constant promotion. During this time, Travis explained that he was receiving more paparazzi attention than ever before, including photographers skulking outside his home, looking to snap pictures of him as he returned from practice.
October 2023: The Pair Seemingly Confirms The Relationship At Saturday Night Live

November 10 2023: The Couple Go On An International Date Night
Harsh weather forced the postponement of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour stop at the River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires on November 10. This presented an opportunity for her to spend the evening with Travis Kelce instead. They visited the upscale restaurant Elena at the Four Seasons Hotel, where photographs captured them holding hands as they left. The following day, Travis attended Taylor’s Eras performance, accompanied by her father in the VIP section. Swift even referenced her romance with the tight end directly by adjusting the lyrics to her hit song “Karma,” singing, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me.”
December 6 2023: Swift Publicly Speaks On Her Romance With Kelce For The First Time
Time Magazine: We’d like to name you Person of the Yea-
Taylor Swift gave the public a brief glimpse into her love life during an interview with Time magazine after being named Time’s 2023 Person of the Year. In her interview, Swift explained the origins of their romance, which actually started shortly after Kelce attended her Eras Tour performance on July 8. The singer stated, “We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other… I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”
December 2023-January 2024: The Couple Continues To Support One Another At Public Events
Throughout December and January, Taylor Swift has continually appeared in the stands at Kansas City Chiefs games nationwide. Likewise, the pair have been spotted making outings at many events, including an after-party following the Chiefs’ Christmas Day game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The pair have been seen blending families throughout the romance, with multiple sightings of Swift’s parents intermingling with Kelce’s loved ones.
By all accounts, the NFL has toned down the promotional material referencing the couple, though miscellaneous posts of this variety still pop up on occasion. For now, everything seems to be smooth sailing for the biggest power couple of 2023.
Never going to forget these shows. Can’t wait to do it 5 more times in August. Up next: Dublin!!
