Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce celebrated her Epoch Tour Run like a local in Ireland.
“Taylor and Travis couldn’t have been friendlier,” an employee at the Hacienda Bar in Dublin told us exclusively We weekly after the couple’s evening at the venue. “They seemed to have a fantastic evening and we were thrilled to host them.”
Swift and Kelce, both 34, were joined by celebrity friends and tour and crew members at the Hacienda Bar after Swift made her third and final appearance at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday, June 30. “It was great to welcome Taylor Swift to The Hacienda last night with all her musicians and dancers,” said a post shared on the bar’s Facebook page on Monday, July 1. “It is special to also welcome Superbowl champion Travis Kelce, the legendary Stevie Nicks and Paramore.”
The message continued: “It was such a warm and truly friendly evening that we didn’t ask for our ‘usual’ hacienda photo to give Taylor and her friends the opportunity to really relax and enjoy their well-deserved time off.”
Although Swift and Kelce did not take a photo with the bar owner, Olivia Rodrigo And Ed Sheeran are among the stars featured in previous Facebook posts.
Swift looked back on her “wild weekend” in Dublin on Instagram on Tuesday, July 2. “The spirit of those three glorious crowds embodied fun, joy and exuberance and we just felt so lucky to be there,” she wrote. “The Irish fans made us feel at home, so welcome in every way. I still smile when I think about it now.”
Several Epoch Tour Dancers also raved about their experiences in Ireland on social media. Kevin Scheitzbach Dublin was “so much fun” for him in an Instagram review. “I got to spend more time with my parents, went to two concerts and performed in front of three amazing crowds,” he wrote on Tuesday under a slideshow of travel photos, including a selfie with many of his fellow artists. “Thank you for letting us be a part of it!”

Swift’s shows in Dublin were unforgettable, Kelce joined prominent guests Julia Roberts and Nicks, 76, in the VIP tent at the performance on Sunday. Comedian Nikki Glaser captured the moment Swift spotted Kelce in the audience via her Instagram Story. The clip showed Swift smiling while singing the Folklore hit “August.”
During the acoustic section, Swift gave special praise to Nicks before singing the song “Clara Bow,” which features the Fleetwood Mac singer’s name in the lyrics. “She has befriended so many artists just to be a helping hand. I can’t tell you how rare that is,” Swift told concertgoers, according to social media footage. “She’s a hero of mine and also someone I could tell any secret (and) she would never tell anyone. She’s really helped me through so much over the years. I’m talking about Stevie Nicks.”
