Travis Kelce helped recreate one of the most special moments of the Eras tour at a surprise party for Taylor Swift. The singer’s longtime friend Ashley Avignone shared more photos from the bash on Thursday, December 19.
In one picture, Travis, 35, placed a hat on Taylor’s head, reminiscent of a moment from the “Red” era on the Eras tour. “And the last 22 hat goes to …” Ashley, 39, captioned the image on her Instagram Story. In the pic, Taylor, 35, is beaming as Travis puts the hat on her head, just like she did for a young child at each Eras tour show.
The cute exchange happened in the middle of Taylor’s “22” performance during the set. One lucky person from the audience was chosen to meet the pop star at the end of the stage and she gifted them with the hat she was wearing. The hugs and interactions got longer as the tour went on, often resulting in viral videos of the sweet moments circulating online afterward.
In other photos that Ashley posted, Taylor posed with the stylist, along with Danielle Haim, Este Haim and Alana Haim. There was also a group shot that included Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes. Taylor and her friends reenacted the “Willow” segment of the Eras tour by putting on green capes and dancing, and there was even a cleaning cart to represent her mode of transportation to the stage.
“When she thought she was going to a small, quiet dinner but it was actually a giant surprise party with her friends and family, props included,” Ashley captioned her post. Travis wasn’t able to attend the last Eras concert, so this was his way of being able to honor his girl, who also celebrated her 35th birthday on December 13.
JoJo Edwards Helaire – another attendee at the event – previously confirmed on TikTok that the surprise party was organized by Travis as a “congratulations” to Taylor for completing her record-breaking tour. The Eras tour concluded on December 8 in Vancouver.
Guests dressed in outfits inspired by the tour. Travis and Patrick, 29, recreated the ensemble that the tight end wore when he appeared on stage at one of Taylor’s concerts in London. Brittany, 29, was clad in a sparkly fringe dress, just like the one Taylor wore during the Fearless segment of the show. Ashley had a snake wrapped around her neck to represent the Reputation era.
Since the tour ended, Taylor has seemingly been spending most of her time in Kansas City. She visited a children’s hospital on December 12 and spent time with several patients, but for the most part, she’s kept a low profile.
With her schedule freed up, Taylor has more time to support Travis at the rest of his football games this season. She’s already attended several home games when she’s been able to, although she has yet to show up at an away game in the 2024-2025 season. The Chiefs take the field at home on Saturday, December 21, so it’s expected that Taylor will attend.
