Kelce made a surprise appearance on stage at Swift’s final London show after singer tweaked lyrics to hit song
To the delight and astonishment of nearly 90,000 fans packed into Wembley Stadium, Taylor Swift has been joined on stage by her American footballer boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
The 34-year-old singer invited Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, onto the stage by tweaking the lyrics of one of her hits, singing “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me.”
Wearing a top hat and tails, Kelce, 34, scooped up Swift, dabbed her face with make-up powder, before theatrically fanning the singer as she fainted dramatically into the arms of two other performers on stage.
Then, she blew a kiss as he bade farewell.
It was the first time the couple had appeared on stage together.
On Friday night, Kelce also posed with Swift in a photo with the Prince of Wales and his two children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
Kelce has attended several of Swift’s shows, including her three London concerts, and she watched him clinch the Super Bowl with the Chiefs earlier this year.
Pop stars Sir Paul McCartney, Bon Jovi and Ellie Goulding were in the crowd, which roared with delight as the performance unfolded. The audience also included Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Andrew Scott, the stars of TV hit Fleabag.
Wembley’s show was part of the Eras Tour, which has drawn tens of thousands of fans to Edinburgh, Liverpool and Cardiff before Swift arrived in London.

Over the three days, a host of household names have turned up to Wembley, with Sir Keir Starmer taking time off from election campaigning to see the performance on Friday.
Many turned to social media to voice their pleasure at seeing the musical phenomenon live.
American actress Rachel Zegler, known for her roles in West Side Story and The Hunger Games prequel, posted a photo of herself wearing a purple glittery dress at the gig, captioned: “I love you so much Taylor Swift.”
In a follow-up post to X, she uploaded a photo of herself wearing dozens of friendship bracelets – which have become a staple at Swift’s shows – and said: “Thank you to everyone for my bracelets and for dancing w me and shouting w me and singing w me.”
The billion-dollar Eras Tour takes fans through Swift’s back catalogue, including hits from albums 1989, Red and Midnights as well as songs from her latest album which was released in April.
