Travis Kelce is just full of Eras Tour surprises — even for Taylor Swift herself.
While the Kansas City Chiefs tight end is no stranger to the Eras Tour — attending as many shows as he can and even joining Swift on stage in London — Kelce, 34, even managed to seemingly surprise the Grammy winner during her third and final Eras show in Dublin on Sunday, June 30. In fact, Swifties believe they captured the exact moment Swift spotted Kelce in the crowd at her third and final Eras show in Dublin on Sunday, June 30.
The “Fortnight” artist, 34, was performing the Folklore set of her show — “August,” to be specific — when she broke out into a huge, open-mouthed grin upon seemingly catching Kelce’s eye in the crowd. In the 25-second clip uploaded to X (formerly known as Twitter), Swift continued to happily look out into the audience and point at what was apparently Kelce’s direction.
“I can’t move on from how you can see the exact moment her eyes go to the [VIP] tent and she realizes he’s there 😭,” wrote the fan who uploaded the video to X.
Other Swifties were exploding with excitement in response.
“She couldn’t take her eyes off of him! She was so happy! I’m Loving this for her!!!” another person wrote.
“Her entire body language changed 🥹 this is the cutest thing ever and I’m so glad we got to see it!” gushed a third fan.
Others loved the moment not just for the Kelce-spotting — but for the perfect song choice.
“There’s something poetic about Trav showing up during August, a song about one-sided and lost love,” another X user mused.
While Kelce has attended multiple Eras shows across multiple continents — he’s already watched Swift perform throughout Australia, Asia and Europe — Swift has paid tribute to the NFL star even when he’s not in the crowd. During her first Eras show in Dublin on Friday, June 28, she imitated his iconic “archer” touchdown pose while on stage.
