The night was certainly sparkling for Swifties in Australia over the weekend.
A family of four snagged front row tickets to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour show in Melbourne last Sunday – and was noticed by the singer as they were rocking Kansas City Chiefs jerseys with Travis Kelce’s name and number emblazoned on the back.
In an adorable video shared by matriarch Laura Elizabeth Luther via Instagram Tuesday, Swift can be seen grinning widely and observing their shirts as she performed “The Archer” during her opening set.

Luther’s children were thrilled to be there, as her eldest son, Jagger, became emotional at the sight of the “Cruel Summer” hitmaker, while his younger brother, Johny Jones, cheerfully held up a sign that said it was his first concert.
“The moment @taylorswift saw our poster and smiled, was it our poster or the fact we were reppin’ her man @killatrav ♥️,” the excited mom wrote in her post.
Luther, a spray tan salon owner who spoke to Page Six Wednesday, spent weeks preparing for the show — from bedazzling the “87” on Jagger and her husband’s jerseys to spending weeks crafting over a dozen friendship bracelets for her family to wear.
Her sons even overcame bullies ahead of the big show.
“What’s crazy is the week prior to Taylor, the boys at school were calling my son gay for wearing friendship bracelets,” she recalled.
“It wouldn’t bother me one bit if he were but it was horrible. He came home sobbing and then this happened,” she added, referring to the recognition from Swift — who also liked her Instagram Reel of her family enjoying her performance.
Overall, she said the concert was the best night of her family’s life and that her kids “are so happy.”
“All the stars aligned for that night,” she raved.
Luther also joked that her husband, Jamie, now thinks all the money she spent making friendship bracelets for the night was worth it. She estimated that she dropped about $10,000 between the jerseys, the bracelets and the three Swift shows she went to in Melbourne over the weekend.

The 14-time Grammy Award-winning artist, 34, just wrapped up three shows in Melbourne and has four shows in Sydney beginning this Friday before she heads to Singapore.
Page Six confirmed earlier on Wednesday that her NFL pro boyfriend is en route to Australia to join her for her Sydney dates.
On Tuesday, Kelce was seen enjoying a round of golf at the Wynn Las Vegas as fans speculated whether or not he would make it Down Under to support the Grammy winner.
His father, Ed Kelce, hinted that he likely would be making the long trip, telling the Sydney Morning Herald, “Well, look, we spoke after the Super Bowl, and I asked him, ‘Are you going to take off for Sydney?’ and he seemed keen.”

This is the second time the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, has flown overseas to see the Eras Tour, as he traveled to Argentina in November 2023 to watch Swift rock the stage.
Of course, she watched him do his thing throughout the 2023 -2024 NFL season.
She attended 13 of Kelce’s games (ironically, her lucky number), including his victorious Super Bowl 2024 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers on Feb. 11.
