Travis Kelce was noticeably absent from Taylor Swift’s final show at Gelsenkirchen’s Veltins Arena on Friday, July 19. However, this came as no surprise as the football player had attended both Wednesday and Thursday’s shows. Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, needed to return for training camp in Missouri and flew back home to prepare for the upcoming season.
Despite his absence, it was clear that Kelce was still on Swift’s mind during the concert. She performed a mashup of her songs “Paper Rings” from Lover and “Stay Stay Stay,” with altered lyrics that seemed to reference her football player boyfriend. The crowd was moved as she sang, “I like shiny things, but I’d marry you with paper rings, that’s right, you’re the one I want. That’s when you came in wearing a football helmet.”
Before Kelce departed for home, footage captured the couple leaving the stadium together. In the video, Kelce could be seen with his arm around Swift, showing their affection for each other. This was not the first time the pair had been spotted together during Swift’s tour. Just a few days prior, they were seen in Amsterdam, enjoying each other’s company.
During the tour, Kelce made a special appearance on stage with Swift at Wembley in London. Dressed in a tuxedo and top hat like one of her dancers, he participated in a skit before gallantly carrying her off stage. This momentous occasion was shared on social media, marking a significant milestone for the couple.
Despite their busy schedules and long-distance relationship, Kelce and Swift have managed to create unforgettable memories together. From attending concerts to making public appearances, their bond seems to be growing stronger with each passing day. Fans of both the football star and the pop sensation can’t help but admire their love story that transcends boundaries and captures the essence of true romance.
