Taylor Swift’s cheeky gesture with Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs during the show in Dublin

Taylor Swift made a loving gesture in honor of her boyfriend and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce at her recent Eras Tour concert in Dublin.

Just days after Kelce appeared as a surprise guest at one of Swift’s shows at Wembley earlier this week, the pop star revealed that she still thinks of him even though he wasn’t in the audience. The Super Bowl-winning tight end joined his boyfriend on stage, to the delight of their fans.

Although he wasn’t spotted in support or on stage Friday night, Swift paid tribute to her NFL boyfriend as she mimicked Kelce’s iconic celebration during her performance. ‘Midnight Rain’ from her album “Midnights.” Fan footage posted on X captured the moment she made the gesture during the emotional song about relationships.

Swift sang the words, “And he never thinks about me except when I’m on TV,” before sticking out her tongue and striking a rather awkward, yet touching archer pose. She flashed a cheeky smile at the crowd, who erupted with cheers. Swift had done this before when performing her hit “So High School,” a song believed to be about Kelce.

The song is full of lyrics and references that seem to relate to their relationship, most notably the line, “You know how to have sex, I know Aristotle.” Kelce also seemed to confirm its origins, listing it among his top three love songs and adding that it has “a slightly sentimental meaning.”

When asked about hints that he appears in the song through the lyrics, Kelce admitted that he thinks it’s about him, but he didn’t seem to know for sure. He replied while quoting the lyrics, “I think so, I think so, you know what I mean.”

The Chief star’s cameo came during Swift’s performance of her hit “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” when he ran onstage wearing a top hat and tails and played the role of her savior and motivator, picking Swift up from the floor when she appeared exhausted. After helping her recover from her fake heartbreak, Swift continued the show as Kelce cheered her on.

Swift’s influence on Kelce was praised by ESPN host Pat McAfee, who stressed that she will be crucial in Kelce’s decision to continue his NFL career despite rumors that he is close to calling it quits. “I think Taylor motivates him to keep going,” McAfee said.

“I think he’s watching her and thinking, ‘Holy shit, she’s filling stadiums in every city in the world, she’s still making noise, she’s involved in everything.’ He’s probably thinking, ‘Yeah, that’s exactly who I need to be around.’

“Because, you know, they say you are the company you keep, and the company he keeps is essentially taking over the world, in an industry that I don’t think it should have taken over as quickly as it certainly has.”
