NFL star Travis Kelce was apparently moved to tears when his girlfriend Taylor Swift sang three songs that were presumably dedicated to her new boyfriend.
At her final performance in Amsterdam on Saturday, July 6, Swift performed a mashup of three songs – “Mary’s Song,” “Everything Has Changed” and “So High School” – from her decade-long career.
Her ever-supportive boyfriend Kelce was once again in attendance and seemed to get quite emotional as Swift sang a series of romantic lyrics that fans believe were sung specifically for and to Kelce.
In a video shared on X (formerly known as Twitter), Kelce can be seen swaying in the crowd to his girlfriend’s performance and recording her final performance of the Amsterdam “Eras Tour” on his phone before apparently wiping tears from his eyes.
Shortly thereafter, Brittany Mahomes – who is married to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes – appeared on the scene and appeared to check on Kelce to see if he was OK as he continued to appear to wipe tears from his eyes.

Kelce actually wiped tears from his eyes as his girlfriend serenaded him in front of thousands of adoring fans, and there was certainly a good reason for that.
During one of the songs where he seemed to get most emotional, Swift sang lyrics that could easily be interpreted as an ode to her relationship with the three-time Super Bowl champion.
“‘Cause all I know is that we said hello/ And your eyes look like you’re coming home/ All I know is a simple name/ And everything has changed.”
If you’re not crying, check your pulse.
Loyal Swift fans even went so far as to explore the meaning behind the superstar’s decision to incorporate these three special songs into such a romantic mashup.
“Mary’s song is from the debut era. She sings about two people meeting, falling in love and being together forever,” one fan posted on X, along with a screenshot of the Travis-inspired mashup theory. “In it, she sings a line that goes, ‘I’ll be 87 and you’ll be 89.’ 87 is Travis’ jersey number. Taylor was born in 1989. Invisible string theory.”

The theory further explained that “Everything Has Changed” from the Red Era and Travis’ jersey colors are red and gold.
“This song could be a theory about how Taylor and Travis fell in love instantly.” And of course, it’s common knowledge by now that “So High School” is dedicated to Kelce and that their relationship makes Swift feel like she’s back in high school.
“The three songs together are a mashup love song dedicated to Travis, expressing how she felt when the two met, how she feels when they are together and her desire to stay together forever,” the theory concludes.
