How Travis Kelce Is Supporting Taylor Swift's Return to the 'Eras Tour'

Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors

Travis Kelce is brimming with enthusiasm as his girlfriend Taylor Swift kicks off her Eras Tour in Paris.

The Chiefs tight end eagerly expressed his excitement for the event on Instagram, responding to Swift's guitarist, Paul Sidoti, who posted a snapshot of himself and Swift on stage on May 9.

Kelce commented, "Lfg!!!" (meaning "Let's F---ing Go") and added celebratory hand emojis. Sidoti's post was filled with anticipation for Swift's four consecutive shows at La Défense Arena with the caption, "The Eras Tour Europe starts tonight... Paris you're up first... who's coming?" and the hashtags #TheErasTour and #4inarow.

Kelce's comment swiftly drew attention, receiving over 2000 likes and numerous replies in less than 30 minutes. The NFL star is no stranger to Swift's concerts, having attended her shows in Singapore, Sydney, Buenos Aires, and, naturally, Kansas City, where their romance began with Kelce's smooth attempt to gift the pop star a friendship bracelet with his phone number.

Fans were quick to leave comments noting how supportive Kelce is of his girlfriend. "@killatrav supportive 👑," commented one user, while another chimed in saying, @killatrav heeeey 👋👋👋 thank you for making Taylor happy & treating her like she deserves to be treated, appreciate you ❤️." Other fans were wondering if Kelce himself would be there, leaving comments like, "@killatrav I hope you're there 🙏🏼," and "@killatrav hello be there or be square."

During their consecutive career breaks, the pair has been seen frequently together, enjoying nights out and vacations with both each other and friends. Their most recent appearance was on April 27 at a charity event in Las Vegas to support Kelce's Chiefs teammate, Patrick Mahomes. At the Mahomies Foundation Golf Classic and Gala, Kelce and Swift, both 34, entered hand-in-hand, a moment captured in an Instagram video by Mahomes.

Kelce later took the stage, revealing that he and his "significant other" decided to donate four tickets to Swift's Eras Tour as an auction item. "I think, um, I was just talking to my significant other," he announced. "And, uh, we might have one other auction item that wasn't on the docket. Has anyone heard of the Eras Tour?" The crowd cheered excitedly in response.
