Just hours after Taylor Swift shocked the world by bringing her boyfriend onto the stage during her The Eras World Tour, fans are dissecting their performance.
Swift was joined Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce at her third and final stop in London, England, on Sunday evening.
Dressed in a full tuxedo and bow tie, Kelce performed in the introduction to her song “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart,” from April’s The Tortured Poets Department album.
Kelce fanned himself with a hand fan, danced around and smiled widely at Swift during his cameo while her dancers helped with an onstage costume change.
Eagle-eyed fans shared the video to social media and began to dissect details of his performance from his shoes to dance moves.
“Not him with the matching red soles too!!!!!” wrote @knittintiger on X, formerly Twitter, noting the similarities to Swift’s onstage shoes, and her penchant for a red-bottomed shoe.
And @esbee23 added of the couple’s interaction on stage: “Not the fan. And then her telling him more blush. This is—I could watch this 200 times and still be omggagged.”
Others noticed Kelce complete a heeltap dance move, while some pointed out he appeared to say “I’ve got her” to the other dancers before picking up Swift who was pretending to have fainted. The NFL star then gingerly placed her on a red sofa before exiting the stage.
Before she walked away to start singing, Swift turned toward Kelce and blew him a kiss.
That section of Eras was incorporated into the concert following the release of TTPD and was debuted at the beginning of the European leg of her tour in France in May.
Kelce, who was at all three of Swift’s London shows, was in good company on Sunday. Other celebrities in attendance included Paul McCartney, Peter Gabriel, Jon Bon Jovi, Cate Blanchett, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Millie Bobby Brown and her new husband, Jake Bongiovi.
Prior to bringing Kelce onstage, Swift had seemingly paid tribute to her boyfriend in other ways.
Swift drew back an imaginary bow and arrow during her performance of “So High School.” It looked like the action of an archer and was an homage to one of Kelce’s signature celebration moves that he makes when his team scores a touchdown.
Elsewhere during the show, Swift and her backup dancers performed the swag-surf, a dance that is often done by the Chiefs to celebrate touchdowns and victories.
