Travis Kelce took the role of a supportive boyfriend to the next level, after joining Taylor Swift onstage as a surprise performer in the London leg of her “The Eras Tour.”
Kelce, looking dapper in a black tailcoat and a top hat, was revealed as a surprise performer on the third night of Swift’s concert at the Big Smoke, which took place at the Wembley Stadium on Sunday, June 23 (June 24 in the Philippines).
Cheers erupted at the venue when Kelce emerged as one of Swift’s “attendants” during the transition of the song “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” which was pre-recorded and was projected behind the stage. He then carried a “sleeping” Swift bridal-style before fanning himself and the singer-songwriter, as seen in videos on X (formerly Twitter).
Kelce remained professional throughout the set, brushing Swift’s face with a makeup brush before he and two other male dancers also in coattails and top hats shooed her away to begin her performance. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end broke into a smile before waving to the audience as the concert went on.

On Instagram, Swift showed her appreciation for her main squeeze. “I’m still cracking up/swooning over [Travis’] Eras Tour debut,” she said.
Also on the first night of the Eras tour in London, the couple posed for backstage photos with Prince William and his children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, which coincided with the UK Royal’s 42nd birthday.
Kelce and Swift went public with their relationship in September 2023. Although it was unknown how their romance started, the athlete said he wanted to give a friendship bracelet to Swift with his number, recalling one of his attempts to win the singer-songwriter’s heart.
