Taylor Swift’s dedicated fanbase has a theory about Travis Kelce’s recent behavior during post-game interviews. Fans believe the Kansas City Chiefs tight end was hastily wrapping up his comments after a nail-biting win against the Los Angeles Chargers to catch a live stream of his girlfriend’s final performance of the Eras Tour on Sunday night. The situation was particularly poignant for Kelce, who was unable to attend Swift’s concert in Vancouver due to the game.
After the Chiefs pulled off a close 19-17 victory, reporters were eager to speak with Kelce in the locker room. However, he seemed somewhat distracted, frequently glancing around the room, turning toward his locker, and hesitating while responding to questions. This led many fans, known as Swifties, to take to social media with their speculations that Kelce was eager to finish the interviews so he could tune into Swift’s last show.
One user on X noted, “HOMIE JUST WANTS TO GET ON A LIVE STREAM, LEAVE HIM ALONE,” while another remarked on Kelce’s anticipation for a specific song, hinting at his favorite track by saying he just wanted to catch “blank space” during the livestream. More fans chimed in, expressing how eager he appeared to be to escape the interview, with comments like, “Travs about to knock these reporters out. GET THIS MAN A LIVESTREAM NOW.”
Kelce’s quick wrap-up of the press conference meant he might have accessed the last half of Swift’s concert, which was taking place at B.C. Place in Canada. Reports suggest that, due to the time difference, he had a chance to see the final moments of the performance through concertgoer livestreams. While there was speculation that Kelce could have jumped on a flight to join Swift soon after the game, it is unclear whether he remained in Kansas City or made his way to Vancouver.
Even in Kelce’s absence, Swift managed to honor him during her show by changing a lyric in her song “Karma” to acknowledge her NFL star boyfriend, singing, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me.” This personal touch was just one of the highlights of her record-breaking Eras Tour, which she concluded that night, boasting over $2 billion in revenue and drawing an audience of 10 million fans.
Swift celebrated the completion of her tour, reflecting on the joy and excitement it brought. “This has been the most fun, joyful, exciting, intense, powerful, and wonderful tour I have ever done, and that’s all because of the way that you have treated it,” she expressed to her audience.
Her Eras Tour, which kicked off in March 2023, spanned over a year and a half, encompassing more than 150 performances across five continents. As her tour came to a close, Swift took a moment to thank her fans for creating the friendship bracelet phenomenon synonymous with the tour, acknowledging their part in this thrilling chapter of her career.
