The singer returned to the stage in Paris and made some key changes.
The Eras Tour has made its way to European soil, and much like a 19-year-old studying abroad, it’s different now. Following the release of The Tortured Poets Department, Taylor Swift has had to rework her career-spanning concert in order to add the latest era. This presented an opportunity for the singer to throw in some Travis Kelce–themed Easter eggs before last night’s kickoff in Paris, and she jumped on it.
During the TTPD set, Swift sings “So High School,” the song widely agreed upon by Swifties to be the most Kelce-inspired track on the album. As part of the choreography, she and her dancers swag surfed — something his team, the Kansas City Chiefs, often does to celebrate a touchdown.
Nathan Hubbard, co-host of the Swift podcast Every Single Album, pointed out that one of the dancers appeared to do one of Kelce’s touchdown dances during the song.
oh shit Kam (brother of former Kelce teammate) did one of Travis’ touchdown celebrations when she sang “you know what you wanted and boy you got it”

In addition to the TTPD set, Swift has made some changes to the rest of the show. For the sake of time, the folklore and evermore sets have been combined into one and “The Archer,” “the 1,” and “Long Live” have been cut. Those are some of her best songs and albums, but she’s the mastermind, so I’ll keep my mouth shut.
Sadly, Kelce was not in the audience to see the latest version of the show. He’s busy filming Ryan Murphy’s Grotesquerie in Los Angeles. Although I bet as soon as that wraps, we’ll be seeing him in the VIP tent goofily dancing along to “But Daddy I Love Him.”
