Though Taylor Swift is in Australia for her Eras Tour concerts, boyfriend Travis Kelce isn’t far from her heart. Allow us to explain.
Taylor Swift is still the Kansas City Chiefs’ cheer captain, even in the offseason.
One week after Travis Kelce‘s team won the 2024 Super Bowl in Las Vegas, the “Blank Space” singer was spotted in Australia wearing the NFL squad’s “Champions” hat.
In a photo obtained by TMZ Feb. 19, the 14-time Grammy winner—who just wrapped up three Eras Tour stadium shows in Melbourne—can be seen boarding a plane while rocking the Chiefs merch. Taylor also appeared to be sporting her “TNT” friendship bracelet, an apparent gift from Travis that gives a nod to the couple’s initials, as she departed Melbourne.
Next up for Taylor? She’s closing out February with four concerts in Sydney before kicking off the month of March with seven shows in Singapore.
And Swifties are hoping Travis will be in the crowd for a few of his girlfriend’s upcoming performances. After all, he would be returning the favor after Taylor flew from her Feb. 10 concert in Tokyo to make it to the Chiefs’ Feb. 11 Super Bowl game.
“Thank you for coming,” Travis told Taylor while celebrating his team’s victory. “Thank you for making it halfway across the world. You’re the best baby. The absolute best.”
“How do you not have jet lag right now?” he later asked, to which she swiftly replied, “Jet lag is a choice.”
Prior to the game, the athlete also addressed Taylor’s support throughout the NFL season.
“It’s been nothing but fun,” he told CBS Sports’ Tracy Wolfson. “We’ve both been learning about this lifestyle, knowing that I brought her into the football world. It’s been an unexpected ride that I’ve just been having a blast with.”

July 2023: So, Make the Friendship Bracelets
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s love story began in July 2023, when the singer’s Eras Tour made a stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it. However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals.
“I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. “So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”

Summer 2023: This Is Him Trying
After publicly recounting his fumble—a move Taylor would later describe as “metal as hell”—Travis decided to shoot his shot and invite the Grammy winner to watch the Chiefs play at Arrowhead Stadium.
“I threw it out there, I threw the ball in her court,” he shared on The Pat McAfee Show. “I told her, you know, ‘I’ve seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead, you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit.’ So, we’ll see what happens in the near future.”

August 2023: Enchanted to Meet You

As he later noted of the era, “That ‘stache and the 87 jersey was pretty iconic there for a little bit, and I had it when I met Taylor for the first time.”
