Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Reunite in Amsterdam
Travis Kelce is making good on his promise to support Taylor Swift as she trots the globe for her Eras Tour. Just days after the Kansas City Chiefs tight end won the Super Bowl, he hopped a plane for Sydney, Australia to join Swift at a February show, and since then, he’s ping-ponged between acting and hosting gigs in the U.S. and stadiums abroad, rubbed shoulders with royalty and even took to the stage. On Friday, that support meant a trip to Amsterdam, where Swift was playing the second of a three-night-stand at Johan Cruijff Arena.

Fans first suspected that Taylor Swiftâs football-playing partner might be in the stadium when social media users noted that she struck an archer pose similar to one Kelce has been known to strike. Fans have speculated that the move is one of Swiftâs famous Easter eggs, this one indicating Kelceâs presence.
Reports that Kelce was in London on July 4, reportedly golfing with teammate Patrick Mahomes, made this hypothesis feel like less of a sure thing, but a couple of eagle-eyed attendees spotted Kelce in the audience and snagged him for photos. Big Yeti was definitely in the Dutch building.
By the time Swift repeated her now-famous edit to the lyrics to her song âKarma,â trading âkarma is the guy on the screen coming straight home to meâ for âkarma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me,â the secret was out. Around then, folks in the stadium caught sight of Kelceâs unmistakable silhouette making his way to the backstage area, briefly diverting attention from Swiftâs performance.

Footage posted by social media users shows that the shorts-and-hoodie clad Kelce reappeared arm-in-arm with Swift at the end of the show. This wasnât a choreographed appearance along the lines of Kelceâs âI Can Do It With a Broken Heartâ cameo last month, but it felt equally polished.
As the pair strode from the backstage, Kelce raised his arms in an âAre you not entertained?â style entreaty for cheers as Swift waved at the screaming crowd. Then the couple draped their arms around one another and disappeared from view, another chapter in their highly scrutinized romance seemingly written.
