TAYLOR Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce proved his girlfriend’s biggest fan as she took to the stage at Wembley Stadium for the first London gig of her Eras tour.
The Kansas Chiefs player, 34, beamed as the American singing sensation dazzled the crowds in the UK capital in a sequin bodysuit, nude fishnet tights and silver boots in one of a series of outfit changes.
Travis, who began dating Blank Space singer Taylor, also 34, late last year, was captured flashing a huge smile as he stood in a private area to support.
He donned a cream patterned baseball cap, green top and gold necklace, complete with a gold wristwatch in images captured by fans.
The sports ace – who also showcased an array of the popstars’ fans’ friendship bands – was seen handing a green cap to a fan as the rest of the crowd in his box looked on.
The duo, who have hunkered down in a plush pad in the Cotswolds during the UK leg of Taylor’s tour, left the country retreat for the epic show at the football stadium last night.
Love Story songstress Taylor, who will return to London in August for the second stint of her London gigs, wowed the huge crowds with tracks including Cruel Summer, 22, and Lavender Haze.
She wrapped her mammoth 45-song setlist with Karma – tweaking her lyrics to “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs” – to refer to her man.
Fans were treated to jaw-dropping sets including neon lit floors which raised up during Blank Space and her making use of a lengthy stage spanning onto the pitch during Delicate.
Taylor – whose love of London has been well publicised after she lived in the capital with ex Joe Alwyn – has stayed loyal to the city.
Prior to her opening series of gigs, we told how she placed a whopping £450 order of chicken doner kebabs at North London take-out, Kentish Delight.
Her overall huge boost to the London economy has also come to light with fans hoovering up her merchandise.
Fans have also suggested she will play a secret London show when she is on a break from her Eras duties.
The blonde beauty will take to the Wembley stage on June 22 and 23, returning on August 15.
In between, she will head over to Dublin.
Fabulous Digital Writer Leanne Hall doesn't regret shelling out for Taylor tickets. She explains why:
Surviving The Great War for Taylor Swift tickets was no easy task.
When I first got a code, me and my friends were sure we’d be able to get good tickets at a reasonable price.
But after waiting in a queue of more than 30,000 people, and getting to the finish line we were shocked by just how expensive they were.
Most people who wanted tickets The Eras Tour were willing to spend hundreds, as were we.
But we soon thought twice when the only tickets coming up were almost £700 a pop and not even close to the stage.
Accepting defeat for now, we decided to wait it out and check the site constantly for two weeks before her ‘VIP packages’ dropped in price (A good call considering all you got was a tote bag, some postcards and a seat in the nosebleeds).
Finally prices went down to a more reasonable but still pricey £200, and we leapt at the chance to grab them.
Would I have spent this much on any other concert? Probably not, but as a die-hard Swiftie I was willing to do anything to see her in the flesh.
Personally, I love Taylor, and the fact she is performing for over three hours when most artists perform for an hour or so, makes it worth spending the extra money on.
However, £700 for a ticket is outrageous and it’s even more devastating forking out nearly £500 in the hopes of seeing her only to be conned.
Travis is said to have had “pangs of jealousy” when it comes to Taylor’s hunky back up dancers.
Yet despite this, their romance appears to have gone from strength to strength since last September.
We exclusively told how they are now looking to purchase a bolthole in the stunning surroundings of Lake Como.
Travis has mandatory practice in Kansas City in June, July and August ahead of the 2024 NFL season in September – so, if a property was purchased, he could enjoy it later in the year.
Meanwhile, speaking on the New Heights podcast in July 2023, Travis spoke with his brother Jason about how he first tried to give the pop icon his number.
It came prior to one of Taylor‘s historic Eras Tour concerts at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium.
Travis said: “I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings, so I was a little bit hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”
He continued: “If you’re up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets. I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it.
“She doesn’t meet anybody, or at least she didn’t want to meet me, so I took it personal.”
The NFL player later succeeded in contacting Taylor and the rest is history.
Taylor revealed to Time that their romance “all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast.”
She also confessed that the two were already a couple by the time she was first spotted at his game.
