Travis Kelce made headlines when he performed onstage for the first time during Taylor Swift’s Eras tour shows in London over the weekend – and Kelce’s mother Donna shared her excitement about her son’s concert debut.

On Sunday, June 23 — shortly after the 34-year-old pop superstar shocked the crowd by inviting her boyfriend, also 34, a Kansas City Chiefs player, on stage — Kelce’s 71-year-old mother posted a video of the viral moment on her Facebook page.

In the clip, fans can be heard cheering and screaming as Kelce appeared on stage at Wembley Stadium and accompanied Swift in her outfit change for “I Can Do It with a Broken Heart,” a new part of her set since the release of The “Tortured Poets” section.

The tight end wore a tuxedo and top hat – just like Swift’s backup dancers – and filled in for the dancer the Grammy winner usually wears during the segment. Kelce grinned as he carried Swift to a red couch, where he set her down. He then set about getting her ready with the other dancers, pretending to apply makeup with a brush.

Swift then blew him a kiss as she began her next song, and Kelce waved goodbye to the crowd as he and the background dancers descended on a platform below the stage.

Donna’s Facebook followers were immediately excited that she shared a video of the moment – and praised Kelce’s live performance skills highly.
