Travis Kelce couldn’t make it as Taylor Swift resumed her Eras Tour in Paris (he’s currently filming Ryan Murphy’s series Grotesquerie in California), but he was still on her mind during the show. She revamped her set list to include a segment for her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, which allowed her some room to include subtle shoutouts to her man.
Kelce does have plans to attend some of Swift’s shows in Europe. He told Entertainment Tonight in early April, “She’ll be all over Europe. There won’t be a bad show, I promise you that.” On whether he was attending any, he said, “Oh, you know I gotta go support. You know it.”
Swift spoke to Time in December about why she has no qualms being so open about her relationship with Kelce. “When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” she said. “The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”
Here, we’re tracking Swift’s tributes to Kelce on tour.
Paris, May 9
Swift performed “So High School,” one of her new songs which is speculated to be about her high school-like romance with Kelce. She included the song in a medley; right before it, she sang parts of “But Daddy I Love Him,” a song believed to be her response to the backlash against her brief Matty Healy fling last summer. Make what you will of that symbolism. Kelce met Swift weeks after her breakup with Healy was reported and has been dating her since.
Fans noted Swift had some football-like choreography woven into “So High School,” a very overt nod to Kelce, who is the Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end.
Fans also thought they caught Swift and her dancers doing the “Swag Surfin’” dance, as football fans do in the stands. Swift was seen joining in on the fun during a Chiefs game back in January.
Prior to the show, Kelce showed Swift support on Instagram. He liked and commented on a post that Swift’s lead guitarist, Paul Sidoti, shared. “@taylorswift The Eras Tour Europe starts tonight.. Paris you’re up first.. who’s coming? 😊🎸👍🏻 #theerastour #4inarow,” Sidoti captioned it. Kelce commented, “Lfg!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 [let’s fucking go]”
