Travis Kelce has crowned the Eras tour the greatest live show in the world — and not just because Taylor Swift allowed him to take the stage with her in London earlier this year. During a recent episode of the New Heights podcast, the Kansas City Chiefs player celebrated the conclusion of the musician’s triumphant tour.
“Shout out to Tay, the unbelievable Eras Tour has finally come to an end,” said Kelce, who courted Swift last year when the tour stopped at the Chiefs’ home base, Arrowhead Stadium. “Obviously it’s her show, it’s her music, her tour, and everything but that was a full production … That was the best tour in the world because of a lot of people, but most because of Taylor.”
Kelce managed to attend a number of shows on the Eras tour both stateside and abroad. By June, he felt well-versed enough in the production to become part of it. In London, Swift cast him in “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” during the Tortured Poets Department segment of the show. “I’ve seen the show enough — might as well put me to work here,” he joked at the time.
Conflicts between Swift’s tour and Kelce’s football schedule meant that he was unable to attend the last Eras tour show in Vancouver this weekend. Still, the musician included one final nod to the athlete during “Karma,” singing: “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me.”
Swift and Kelce have been dating for more than one year, a saga that began (at least publicly) with the Chiefs player showing up to the Eras tour ready to hand the singer-songwriter a friendship bracelet with his number on it. “I threw the ball in her court,” he previously said about their early encounters. “I told her, ‘I’ve seen you rock the stage at Arrowhead, and you might have to come see me rock the stage at Arrowhead and see which one is a little more lit.’”
It’s safe to say that the Eras tour won that battle.
