Travis Kelce might need to keep a close eye on Taylor Swift during her Eras Tour, as “Outlander” star Sam Heughan has playfully announced his intentions to steal her heart. The Scottish actor, known for his role as Jamie Fraser, made the cheeky declaration in a lighthearted Instagram post on Wednesday, hinting at his plans to captivate Swift during her upcoming performance in Edinburgh.
“We’re gonna go see Taylor Swift play in Scotland,” Sam Heughan said, dressed in his “Outlander” costume. “I think most of the cast is going.” With Swift’s song “…Ready For It” playing in the background, Heughan continued, “She obviously doesn’t know this, but when she comes to Scotland and she sees me in the audience, she’s gonna forget all about [Kelce] and fall for a man in a ginger wig.”
The 44-year-old actor humorously added, “How could she resist? She’s gonna shake him off and take me out instead. I’m really excited.” He captioned the post with, “Welcome to Scotland Taylor. JAMMF is a Swiftie,” playfully referencing his character Jamie Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser (JAMMF).
Sam Heughan’s humorous advance might be a tough sell, given Swift’s ongoing romance with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce. The couple has been together since last summer, with their relationship blossoming after Kelce attended one of Swift’s concerts in Kansas City, Missouri, in July 2023. Kelce had made a friendship bracelet with his phone number for Swift but was unable to give it to her due to her pre-show routine.
“I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Kelce mentioned on his “New Heights” podcast. “So, I was a little butthurt that I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”
Despite this initial setback, Swift decided to give Kelce a chance, following his public admiration on his podcast. Their relationship, initially kept under wraps, became public in September 2023, and they have been inseparable since. Sources close to the couple hint at potential engagement plans this summer, indicating a deepening of their relationship.
Sam Heughan’s playful remarks are sure to delight fans of both the “Outlander” series and Taylor Swift, adding a touch of fun to the excitement surrounding her Eras Tour. As Swift prepares to take the stage in Edinburgh, it seems she’ll have an unexpected admirer in the audience, ready to win her over with Scottish charm and a ginger wig. Whether Heughan’s jesting plan will make an impact remains to be seen, but it certainly adds an entertaining twist to the tour’s Scottish stop.
