Travis Kelce cries with Patrick Mahomes during ‘Mary’s Song’ tribute during Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras ​​Tour’

Travis Kelce cries with Patrick Mahomes during ‘Mary’s Song’ tribute during Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras ​​Tour’

Travis Kelce enjoyed watching Taylor Swift on her Eras Tour during the offseason, and a video showed how much the time with his better half meant to him.

A video shows Kelce getting emotional while Swift performs “Mary’s Song,” saying the lyrics, “You’re turning 87, I’m turning 89.” Swift uses the song, first released in 2006, as a reference to Kelce, who wears number 87 for the Chiefs.

Kelce has participated in several editions of the popular Eras Tour since the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory, the most recent of which was the third leg of their tour in Amsterdam.

But Kelce didn’t watch the concert alone. With him were his teammate Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany Mahomes.

Is “Mary’s Song” about Travis Kelce?

The song may have the number “87” as part of its official lyrics, but no, the song is not about Kelce. It was released on Swift’s album of the same name in 2006. At the time, Kelce was 17 and still playing high school football.

“Mary’s Song” is about how love can last forever, Swift told Billboard magazine in 2006. She was inspired by a 60-year-old couple she knew when she moved to Nashville who acted like they were still “in love with each other.”

“They … told us they were just little kids (when they met) and I just thought that was so sweet,” Swift told Billboard. “You know, you go to the grocery store and you see all these tabloids where everyone is lying to each other, cheating, breaking up, and it discourages you for a while.”

Lyrics to “Mary’s Song”

Here’s a look at the lyrics of “Mary’s Song.”

She said: “I was seven and you were nine”
I looked at you like the stars that shine
The pretty lights in the sky
And our fathers always made jokes about both of us
Growing up and falling in love and our moms smiling
And rolled their eyes and said, “Oh my God, my God,
Take me back to the house in the tree in the backyard
Said you would beat me up, you were bigger than me
You never did that, you never did that
Take me back to when our world was only one block wide
I dared you to kiss me and ran away when you tried
Just two children, you and me
Oh my goodness, my goodness, my goodness
Well, I was sixteen when suddenly
I wasn’t the little girl you always saw
But your eyes still shone like pretty lights
And our fathers always made jokes about both of us
They never believed that we would really fall in love
And our moms smiled and rolled their eyes
And said: “Oh my God, my God,
Take me back to the creek beds we found
Two o’clock in the morning, I’m driving in your truck and all I need is you by my side
Take me back to our very first argument
Slamming doors instead of a goodnight kiss
You stayed outside until morning light
Oh my goodness, my goodness, my goodness
A few years had passed and returned
We sat at our favorite place in the city
And you looked at me and got down on one knee
Take me back to the time when we walked to the altar
Our whole town came and our moms cried
You said yes and I did too
Take me home where we met so many years ago
We will rock our babies on this very porch
After all this time, you and I
I’ll be eighty-seven, you’ll be eighty-nine
I will still look at you like the stars that shine
In heaven, oh my God, my God
