Taylor Swift is definitely in love! The “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” singer chatted with some patients at the Kansas City Children’s Hospital the night before her birthday, and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, made his way into the conversation.
“I like Travis now,” a little girl told Taylor, 35, in a video shared via TikTok on Thursday, December 12.
“Yes, me too,” the Grammy winner responded. “That’s an absolute yes on that one.”
Taylor then asked if Travis, 35, was “her favorite player,” the child answered, “Yeah, either that or Patrick [Mahomes].”
The Miss Americana star praised the little one’s answers and told her she was “acing” their interaction.
Taylor just wrapped up nearly two years on the road with her record-breaking Eras tour. She had been getting choked up during her final performances of the tour, which first began in March 2023.
“To my band and to my crew and to everybody who has put so much into this tour … I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore,” the pop star said while holding back tears during her November 23 show in Toronto. “I’m just having a bit of a moment, sorry. It’s not even the last show!”
She continued, “My band, my crew, all my fellow performers, we have put so much of our lives into this. And you have put so much of your lives into being here with us tonight and giving us that moment that we’ll never forget. We’ve loved our time in Toronto, it’s been so amazing.”
Swifties were well aware at the December 8 show in Vancouver, Canada, that the star’s birthday was just around the corner. The crowd serenaded her with “Happy Birthday” after her performance of “Champagne Problems.” It was then Taylor’s turn to get emotional as she looked back over the last several months.
“This tour has been the adventure of a lifetime,” she told the crowd. “I speak on behalf of my band … my fellow performers who all left their families and have spent time away from everything that they know and love and have performed when they were sick. When anything was going on in their lives, they made sure that this show come through [for] you and I just wanted to say that on behalf of all of us, we will never forget you giving us that moment. Thank you, Vancouver.”
While Travis wasn’t able to make Taylor’s final performance, he did give her a sweet shout-out during his “New Heights” podcast on Wednesday, December 11.
“Shout-out to Tay and the unbelievable Eras tour [that] has finally come to an end,” Travis told his brother and cohost Jason Kelce. “[It was] 149 or 152 shows. I forget which one it was. Somewhere in there. A f–k ton is how I sum it up.”
The Super Bowl champ didn’t forget to acknowledge the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” artist’s dancers, band and other employees, as well.
“Shout-out to everybody that was a part of that show,” Travis continued. “Obviously, it’s her music, her tour and everything, but that was a full production, man. That thing was the best tour in the world because of a lot of people, but mostly because of Taylor.”
