As Taylor Swift concluded her final Amsterdam Eras tour performance on July 6, she delivered her most heartfelt tribute yet to Travis Kelce.
During the “Fortnight” vocalist’s extensive set, she appeared to dedicate a poignant mashup to her partner – a gesture that profoundly affected the Kansas City Chiefs star. Kelce was observed experiencing visible emotional responses throughout the performance, prompting Brittany Mahomes to approach and check on his well-being.
The athlete, who attended Swift’s Saturday show at the Johan Cruijff Arena alongside teammate Patrick Mahomes and his spouse, seemed to become tearful as the “Cruel Summer” artist performed a medley of “Mary’s Song,” “So High School,” and “Everything Has Changed.” In footage shared on X (previously Twitter) by @TayvisHaze, Kelce stood in the VIP section, capturing Swift’s performance on stage, embodying the quintessential supportive partner.
When she sang the lyrics, “Cause all I know is we said, ‘Hello,’ and your eyes look like coming home, all I know is a simple name and everything has changed,” he was seen wiping his face and eyes before applauding overhead. Noticing his reaction, Brittany approached to embrace him and briefly conversed with Kelce before watching the remainder of the mashup by his side.
In addition to performing excerpts from “So High School,” believed to reference Swift’s whirlwind romance with Kelce, the “Karma” singer incorporated a subtle nod by including her 2006 single “Mary’s Song” in the mix.
The tight end was observed swaying to the music and applauding as Swift sang, “I’ll by 87, you’ll be 89, I’ll still look at you like the stars that shine” – lyrics that have acquired special significance for Swifties, given that the football star’s jersey number is 87 and both Swift and Kelce were born in 1989. As with the previous evening, the couple departed the venue hand in hand.
Taylor’s touching mashup dedication occurred mere hours after she alluded to him multiple times during her second Amsterdam Eras tour show on July 5. She altered the lyrics of her song “Karma” to “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs” and even mimicked the signature archer pose her partner employs when celebrating a touchdown.
With Kelce scheduled to commence football training for the Chiefs in a matter of weeks, it is probable that Swifties will witness even more endearing tributes and exemplary couple moments.
