Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had a message for singer Gracie Abrams as she prepared to take the stage with Taylor Swift at a concert in London.
Travis Kelce played a key role in calming singer Gracie Abrams’ nerves before she performed alongside Taylor Swift in one of the biggest moments of her career.
Abrams has spoken about how Kelce’s words helped her stay composed before taking the stage at London’s Wembley Stadium last month. The young singer joined Swift onstage to sing her song “Us,” with Abrams on piano and Swift on acoustic guitar.
This moment was hugely significant for Abrams’ burgeoning career, and she credits Kelce’s reassuring advice as a major factor in her performance. The NFL superstar, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, is in a high-profile relationship with Swift.

Abrams recalled: “Before we both performed, we were in the tent, and he performed just before me – I think two songs or so. He was like, ‘I’m going to screw this up so you look really good.'”
Abrams, the daughter of Star Wars director JJ Abrams, is just starting out in her music career. Her performance with Swift in front of over 90,000 people in London was a huge boost to her rise to stardom. The 24-year-old had nothing but praise for everyone involved in Swift’s Era’s Tour, expressing how much she enjoyed being a part of it and performing one of her own songs.

She told Billboard, “The thing is… it’s just a community of really supportive people. Really, everyone, whether you’re in the tent or in the top row in the stadium, it’s like everyone is there because there’s such deep joy and emotion attached to all the music that she’s put out over the last 18 years. It’s a really magical thing.”
This feeling was further heightened during Swift’s concert when her boyfriend Kelce made his stage debut. Kelce delighted surprised fans by joining Swift on stage to sing “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart.”
Wearing a tuxedo, Kelce appeared to playfully powder Swift’s nose as the crowd erupted in cheers. This was the first time the NFL star had joined Swift in performances, although he is a frequent guest at her concerts around the world, from Melbourne and Buenos Aires to Amsterdam and London.
Kelce will likely stay with the Swifts for the next few days, but most will soon return to the Kansas City Chiefs where he will begin training camp. He hopes to be part of the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive championships if they win the Super Bowl this season.
