Taylor Swift gave her fans an unforgettable moment by inviting her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, to join her onstage during the Eras Tour. On Sunday, June 23, 2024, Kelce made a surprise appearance during the third show at London’s Wembley Stadium, causing an uproar of excitement among the audience.
In a video that quickly went viral on social media, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback appeared dressed in a tailcoat and top hat, stepping in for a dancer in the Tortured Poets Department segment. Kelce carried Swift onstage during the transition for the song “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” drawing enthusiastic cheers from the crowd.
Fans immediately took to social media platforms to share their reactions. One fan expressed their overwhelming excitement by saying, “MY HEART and voice can’t take it. They need to pay for all our therapy.” Others praised Swift’s creativity, with comments like, “Taylor is a genius you could never outsmart her. She is always a step ahead of everybody brilliant!!!” and “Can’t stop watching this! Romcom movie for them, when?” A user humorously added, “THE CROWD LOST IT, AND I LOST IT TOO,” highlighting the widespread enthusiasm.
Speculation about the couple’s future also buzzed on social media. One fan boldly declared, “I actually don’t even care to be normal about it anymore, Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift are getting married one day THERE I SAID IT.” Another enthusiastically wrote, “I’m screaming, crying, throwing up!!!!” The appearance indeed left an indelible mark, with one fan summarizing, “LONDON WON. OH MY GOD. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH.”
This marks Kelce’s first onstage appearance with Swift, despite his frequent presence in the audience during her shows. The segment featuring Kelce was introduced in May when Swift updated her Eras Tour setlist to include songs from her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department (released in April 2024).
During the skit, Kelce carried Swift to a red couch, fanned himself, danced, and exchanged smiles with the pop superstar while her dancers assisted with her costume change. Before launching into “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” Swift blew a kiss to Kelce, delighting the audience further.
Kelce’s onstage cameo came just days after the couple went Instagram official. Swift shared a backstage selfie from her first London show featuring Kelce, along with Prince William, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte. This marked the first time Kelce appeared on Swift’s official social media since they began dating last year.
Swift’s The Eras Tour is set to continue through December, promising more surprises and unforgettable moments for fans around the world.
