Travis Kelce was seen ‘crying’ at Taylor Swift concert – a rare emotional moment for NFL star

Taylor Swift’s fans are excited because they believe her NFL boyfriend Travis Kelce was visibly emotional during her performance at an Eras tour event in Amsterdam last Saturday.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end traveled across the pond to Johan Cruyff Arena and was seen dabbing his eyes as Swift performed a rendition of “Everything Has Changed” from her 2012 album “Red.”

A Twitter video capturing Kelce’s emotional moment was shared with the caption, “I’ll never be OK after this,” and garnered over 300,000 views. The tweet read, “Big, tough NFL man Travis Kelce is crying (because) his wife is singing to him.”

Another fan chimed in and said, “Travis cried like a Kelce and I’m going to lose control.”

This touching episode began when Swift paid a surprise tribute to Kelce by playing a previously unreleased song on the Eras Tour. She sat at the piano and played “Mary’s Song (Oh My My My)” from her 2006 self-titled debut album.

Significantly, the song includes the verse “I’m turning 87, you’re turning 89,” which has taken on new meaning 18 years later, reflecting her romance with Kelce, who wears the number 87 jersey for the Chiefs and was born in 1989.

Swift piqued the audience’s curiosity on Saturday by saying, “OK, you get bonus points if you know the words to this song,” acknowledging that it was a classic from her first album and a first performance on the Eras Tour.

Swift’s gesture became more evident when the 14-time Grammy winner mixed “So High School,” a song from her recent “Tortured Poets Department” release, with the aforementioned love song “Everything Has Changed.”

She returned her surprise with a sweet moment of Kelce at Wembley Stadium last month, who unexpectedly appeared on stage and performed dance numbers to several of Swift’s songs.

Kelce was seated in VIP quarters at the Ajax Arena, along with Kansas City teammate Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany. Other notable guests in the suite included Ross Travis and Patrick Bacon. The trio were recorded swaying and singing along to Swift’s 2019 single “Lover.”

Patrick and Brittany’s brief appearance on the continent came amid a packed sporting schedule in the United Kingdom. At the Wimbledon tennis tournament in London on July 5, the pair suffered a disappointing courtside result as fellow countryman Francis Tiafoe lost to Carlos Alcaraz in five sets in the third round.

On Sunday, Mahomes returned to the London area for the British Grand Prix, another disheartening performance as the two Alpine drivers – the quarterback is co-owner of the F1 racing club alongside Kelce and others – finished 16th and 20th.

With Kelce enjoying his NFL offseason and Swift’s Eras Tour back on track, the star receiver has taken advantage of these rare opportunities to witness his girlfriend’s historic performances.

Kelce has two more weeks of freedom before he must return to the Chiefs’ mandatory training camp, which begins July 21 and runs daily through August 15. Swift, on the other hand, just completed the tenth stop of her European tour and will end her trip on August 20 after a great five-day finale in London.
