Pop sensation Taylor Swift delighted fans at her Eras Tour stop in New Orleans on Sunday with a heartfelt nod to her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, after he secured a critical touchdown in his team’s 27-20 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Taylor Swift’s shoutout to Travis Kelce:
In a powerful performance of her song “Karma” during the Midnights segment, Swift sang the now-familiar line: “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me,” as fireworks erupted around her. This line, which she’s been adapting in recent performances, drew a roar from the sold-out crowd, blending Swift’s world with NFL fandom. Despite Kelce being in Las Vegas at the time, the gesture reinforced Swift’s growing affection for the two-time Super Bowl champion and thrilled her fans, who eagerly embrace the pair’s evolving relationship.
This New Orleans show marked Swift’s third and final night in the city, and fans were treated to several unique moments. During her Lover set, Swift donned a vibrant purple bodysuit and addressed the audience with a playful remark: “Doesn’t my outfit seem very New Orleans?” The crowd erupted in approval, showing their love for Taylor’s tribute to the city’s colors and spirit.
Swift’s parents, Andrea and Scott Swift, were present, showing their support for their daughter as Kelce fulfilled his on-field duties. The multi-Grammy-winning artist’s family has often been spotted at her shows, embracing this monumental tour alongside her fans. Swifties and Chiefs fans alike, an intersection that’s growing by the day, celebrated the unique fusion of music and sports, as the “It couple” continues to charm both their worlds.
The evening included another highlight during Swift’s Red era performance of “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.” As she delivered the spirited anthem, the crowd echoed the lyrics with enthusiasm, creating a perfect send-off for her three-night stay in New Orleans.
Swift, who recently made headlines with reports of a potential business venture involving an alcohol brand with Kelce and aspirations to acquire a sports team, has shown no signs of slowing down in her personal or professional life.
