Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s European summer of love continues!
They were spotted holding hands as Taylor left the stage in Amsterdam, where Travis sang along to some of her biggest hits.
Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany were also on hand for the third night of the Eras Tour on Saturday at the Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam.
While Patrick and Brittany danced and kissed during their night together, Travis got emotional when Taylor sang her 2012 song “Everything Has Changed” as part of a surprise mashup with “Mary’s Song” and “So High School.”
At one point, Kelce covered his face with his hand. Moments later, Brittany appeared to comfort him as he appeared to wipe tears from his eyes.
Lyrics Taylor sang during this emotional moment included: “All I know is that you held the door / And you’ll be mine and I’ll be yours / All I know since yesterday is that everything has changed.”
She also added “And in the blink of a crinklin’ eye” from “So High School,” a song presumably about Travis.
Towards the end of the mashup, Taylor sang the lyric from “Mary’s Song”: “I’ll be 87, you’ll be 89.” The line from the 2006 song took on new meaning because Travis wears the number 87 jersey. Travis and Taylor were both born in 1989.
On both nights 2 and 3 in Amsterdam, Taylor also paid tribute to Travis by striking the archer pose he often does on the football field during the transition to “So High School” during the Tortured Poets Department set. She also switched lyrics during her show-ending number to “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs,” as she now always does when Travis is in the audience.
Travis’ days with Taylor in Europe may be coming to an end as the Chiefs’ training camp begins on July 21.
He has recently attended several of their shows and was even seen on stage at Wembley Stadium in London.
He later revealed in his podcast “New Heights” that it was his idea.
“I mentioned it to Tay first,” Travis told his co-host and brother Jason Kelce. “I thought, ‘How fun would it be if I just rolled out on one of the bikes in the ’89’ era?'”
He said Swift laughed about it, but then asked him, “Would you seriously be willing to do something like that?”
The Kansas City Chiefs player recalled: “I was like, ‘What? I’d love to do that, are you serious? I’ve seen the show enough times, so I might as well get in line here.'”
“And sure enough, she found the perfect part of the show for me to perform,” he said.
Travis did not make his debut on a bicycle, calling it the “safest option” in case he “hit someone else or hit one of the dancers.”
Instead, he came out in a tuxedo and top hat and carried Taylor across the stage shortly after she sang “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.”
Travis confessed that his biggest concern was not dropping Taylor! He said, “The only thing I told myself was, ‘Don’t drop the baby. Don’t drop Taylor walking across that damn sofa.’ The golden rule was, ‘Don’t drop Taylor. Get her safely onto the sofa.'”
As she was getting changed for “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” he pretended to touch up her face with some powder and did a few dance moves as part of the scene.
