Taylor Swift makes a Sweet Shout out for Travis Kelce as she wraps up Eras Tour
Taylor Swift has wrapped up the third leg of her Eras Tour with six nights in Singapore – and she ended it with another shout out to boyfriend Travis Kelce. As the night came to a close, the singer performed ‘Karma,’ the last track on the setlist and once again changed the lyrics to “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me,” in honor of Travis, who plays Tight End for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Travis, 34, had flown into Singapore for the final night, with fans spotting him in a private box with friends as Taylor performed her three-hour long set. As it came to a close, he was – as in previous times when he had watched her on tour – waiting backstage where fans caught her running into his arms for a kiss. They were later spotted on a date night in a local mall, with Taylor wearing a black mini dress.
The third phase of the tour saw her play in Australia and Asia, and she will now have a two-month hiatus before returning to Europe on May 9, 2024, with a performance in Paris, France, followed by stops in Sweden, Germany, Portugal, and the United Kingdom.
After 20 months, the tour will culminate in North America with four final performances in Miami, Toronto, New Orleans, Indianapolis, and Vancouver. Taylor performed over two weekends in Singapore, and the 34-year-old revealed to fans that the country meant a lot to her family as her mom grew up there.
My mom actually spent a lot of her childhood with her mom and dad and sister growing up in Singapore. So a lot of the time when we’d come here on tour, my mom would take me and drive me past her old house, where she used to go to school,” she told fans.
“So I’ve been hearing about Singapore my whole life.” During the Evermore segment, while sitting at the ‘Champagne Problems’ piano and singing ‘Marjorie,’ a song about her grandmother, Taylor continued: “To get to come here and play a show this big with so many beautiful, generous people who are essentially honoring my family with what you just did with that song, it means the world.”
“I already love you, we’re going to have a blast tonight,” she went on to say. Andrea is affectionately referred to as Mama Swift by fans, and both Andrea and Taylor’s father, Scott, are legends in the Swiftie community; Scott is renowned for handing out guitar picks to fans, whilst Andrea famously selected people on past tours to see Taylor backstage before the gigs.
Travis’ presence follows an emotional week for the NFL player, as his brother Jason, who spent his whole career with the Philadelphia Eagles, announced his retirement. Travis burst into tears when attending his elder brother’s news appearance, where the father of three commended his family for their support during his journey.
