Taylor Swift Still “Swooning” Over Travis Kelce’s Eras Tour Cameo
Someone give Taylor Swift a photograph to hang on her wall, because Travis Kelce is a superstar.
Indeed, the Kansas City Chiefs player proved the “Karma” singer’s talents are rubbing off on him, as he recently won a charity karaoke contest at the 35th Annual American Century Championship golf tournament in California July 11.
“Taylor, this is for you,” Travis joked as he feigned sobbing following his win. “I love you guys.”
Travis—who wore a long-sleeved red and white USA polo and cargo khaki shorts for the occasion—certainly gave a performance that would make any wide-eyed girl fall desperately in love with him during a rendition of Whitesnake’s “Here I Go Again.”
During his performance, the 34-year-old leaned heavily into his stage presence, adding some head bangs and rock n’ roll vocals. And after his New Heights podcast shared a clip from the moment on social media, fans couldn’t contain their reactions.

One wrote, “Social anxiety is scared of that man.”
Another had to wonder what Taylor thought of Travis’ rendition, adding, “I’d pay big money for a Taylor reaction video to this clip.”
The tight end just may have a future in performing. After all, he recently took the stage June 23 during the London leg of the Eras Tour to serve as a background dancer during her song “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart.” And Travis revealed it was actually his idea.
“I initially mentioned it to Tay,” Travis admitted during a July 3 episode of New Heights. “I was like, ‘How funny would it be if I just rolled out on one of the bikes during the 1989 album. That era.’”

Of course, Taylor was floored by the idea, but had to rein in her man a bit.
“She found the perfect part of the show for me to come in,” Travis noted of his cameo during the Tortured Poets Department segment. “There was no bike in case I ran into someone else or hit one of the dancers or anything. It was the safest option.”
As for how Taylor feels for Travis trying to come for her job?
“I’m still cracking up/swooning over @killatrav’s Eras Tour debut,” she wrote in a June 24 Instagram post. “Never going to forget these shows.”
