Watch: Jason Sudeikis Asks Travis Kelce About Making Taylor Swift an “Honest Woman”

Taylor Swift was feeling the alchemy during a recent Eras Tour stop.

The “Fortnight” singer had an adorable reaction to singing a lyric that called to mind boyfriend Travis Kelce’s profession at her June 2 show in Lyon, France.

In a video shared to TikTok, Taylor was seen sporting a wide grin and blushing as she performed her Fearless track “Fifteen.”

“In your life, you’ll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team,” she sang, before laughing to herself. “I didn’t know it at fifteen.”

After the crowd erupted in cheers over her cheeky delivery, the 34-year-old threw her head back before continuing on to sing the next line.

Fans were quick to draw a connection between Taylor’s reaction and her romance with Travis, who she began dating last summer.

“Our girl has got her forever man,” one user commented under the video, “sooooo cuteeee.”

Another fan joked about what Taylor must have been thinking while singing those words, writing, “She’s like well that’s ironic.”

Of course, that’s not the only time Travis got a subtle shoutout during her concert. Back in May, fans also caught a nod to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end that was added into the choreography for Taylor’s Tortured Poets Department segment of the show.

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.”

“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.”
