Travis Kelce knows how to make his mark at Taylor Swift’s shows!

On Friday, July 5, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, attended Swift’s Eras Tour show at the Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam. There, he was spotted by delighted fans heading backstage just as Swift, also 34, changed the lyrics to her song “Karma” to reference him.

In a clip posted on TikTok, Kelce could be seen walking from the audience toward the side of the stage as a fan excitedly shouted, “It’s Travis!”

Waving at concertgoers as he walked, Swift once again changed the lyrics of her song, singing, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me.”

Another clip posted on X (formerly Twitter) showed Kelce embracing someone in a huge hug before entering the backstage area.

Travis Kelce Says It Was His Idea to Join Taylor Swift Onstage in London for Eras Show: ‘An Absolute Blast’

Swift and Kelce first sparked dating rumours in September 2023, when the 14-time Grammy winner attended a Kansas City Chiefs games. The couple then went public with their romance in October 2023.

Since then, the pair has supported one another in their respective careers on multiple occasions, with Swift attending more than a dozen of Kelce’s NFL games, including the 2024 Super Bowl in February.

Kelce, meanwhile, has attended his girlfriend’s Eras Tour shows across the globe, including ones in Singapore, France, Kansas City, Buenos Aires, Argentina and London — where he made his debut on stage during the show on Sunday, June 23.

At the time, the football player appeared on the Wembley Stadium stage with Swift during her “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” outfit change as part of the singer’s The Tortured Poets Department portion of her show.

During the latest episode of his New Heights podcast — which he hosts with his brother, Jason Kelce — the sports star revealed the rule he set himself for the moment he carried his girlfriend on stage.

“The one thing I told myself is, do not drop the baby. Do not drop Taylor on your way over this damn couch. The golden rule was do not drop Taylor, get her to the couch safely,” Kelce explained.
