Taylor Swift can apparently find her man in a crowd. Travis Kelce wasn’t trying to hide during Swift’s Eras Tour performance on Sunday in Dublin, Ireland, with fans speculating that his appearance may have been a surprise.
Swifties captured footage of Kelce being escorted to the VIP tent inside Aviva Stadium — where Julia Roberts and Stevie Nicks were also seated — along with his pal, Ross Travis, while Swift sang the Folklore song, “August.” Moments later, Swift appeared to notice something — or someone — in the audience.
In a number of videos posted from the show on social media, Swift’s face visibly changes as her eyes light up and her mouth drops open. Footage shot from another angle shows Kelce, purportedly captured at the same moment, smiling and waving with both hands towards the stage.
One fan went so far as to edit together a collection of angles, setting the sweet footage to Swift’s “So High School.” The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology track is rumored to have been written about the Kansas City Chiefs star.
Kelce was not on hand for Friday and Saturday’s shows, according to reports, as he was busy attending teammate Clyde Edwards-Helaire and JoJo O’Conner’s wedding in Calabasas, California.
Prior to Kelce’s appearance in Dublin, Swift subtly paid tribute to her beau on Friday when she emphatically struck his archer pose during “Midnight Rain.” As football fans know, Kelce famously strikes that pose just before he runs out onto the field with the rest of his Kansas City Chiefs teammates.
But the archer pose wasn’t the only Kelce reference on Friday night in Dublin. According to Page Six, Swift also re-wore her Tiffany & Co. diamond wire ring, which features the duo’s diamond-dotted initials.
After wrapping Sunday’s show, the couple was all smiles as they were seen exiting the stage together and waving to fans.
Swift is now enjoying a few days off and resuming shows on July 4 in Amsterdam.
Kelce’s latest appearance at the Eras Tours comes on the heels of his on-stage debut in London, where he joined Swift’s dancers to perform a bit ahead of “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”
A source told ET on Friday, “It was so much fun for Taylor and Travis to be on stage together at her show. It was definitely a new, defining point in their relationship and they had a blast getting the chance to show a personal side of themselves with the world. They are so happy with how everything turned out and loved seeing all the fan reactions.”
The source continued, “They also had a great time practicing together behind the scenes and were so cute and sweet with each other. They are a naturally bonded pair. It was a very special experience for them and also hints at what their future might hold together.”
