Taylor Swift subtly showed her love for boyfriend, Travis Kelce, while taking the stage for her first of five performances in London at Wembley Stadium on Thursday.
As she returned to the stage for the first time since she was forced to cancel the Vienna leg of her tour due to a foiled plan for a terrorist attack at her concert, the pop star, 34, paid tribute to her man by wearing earrings with his first initial on them.
While dazzling 90,000 Swifties during her show, eagle-eyed fans noticed that the Cruel Summer hitmaker added another accessory honoring the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, also 34, to her collection.
The 14-time Grammy winner, who has worn Kelce’s jersey number countless times since going public with their relationship last fall, sported a pair of gold heart-shaped ‘T’ earrings.
Previously, she wore a different pair of ‘T’ earrings when he attended her 87th show in Paris on May 12. It has been over one year since Kelce attended Swift’s Eras Tour stop in Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium with a homemade friendship bracelet with his phone number in July 2023.
Although his initial attempt at meeting her did not go as planned, since ‘she doesn’t talk before or after her shows’ in order to save her voice, his persistence did not go unnoticed by the singer.
In December, she confirmed that their relationship began after ‘Travis very adorably put’ her ‘on blast on his podcast.’
‘I thought was metal as hell,’ she told TIME magazine of how the NFL star admitted to taking it ‘personal’ that she wouldn’t meet with him. Given they are both all-time greats in their own industries, Kelce and Swift have dominated headlines ever since romance first blossomed last year, with the loved-up pair drawing attention from all across the globe.
Even for Travis, widely considered the best tight end in NFL history, the increased spotlight that dating Taylor has brought came as a major shock.
However, Kelce says his girlfriend’s ability to stay grounded despite her superstar status is what made him fall for her.
‘She’s very self-aware, but at the same time… she’s very self-aware. She understands situations like that and I think that’s why I really started to fall for her,’ he explained. On the most surprising part about dating Swift, Kelce continued: ‘[Paparazzi] has been the craziest thing.
Definitely the pulling up to the house, the just random, I don’t know… ‘It’s a different demographic than the NFL, so it’s been cool to dabble in that and see her following and everything.
It’s been fun because a lot more kids are into the game and the Chiefs fans have turned into a lot of her fans. And her fans have turned into Chiefs fans, so I’ve had fun with every aspect of it.
‘But when you’re at home, you want privacy, and you don’t always get that.’
