Travis Kelce won the night when it came to nailing his look for the surprise party he threw for girlfriend Taylor Swift to celebrate the end of her Eras tour.
The Kansas City Chiefs star, 35, wore the same tuxedo with tails, a white bow tie and top hat he donned when joining Taylor, 35, onstage at her June 23 tour stop in London, England.
Travis’ close pal Ross Travis shared a photo in a set of snapshots on Thursday, December 19, showing the Super Bowl champ posing alongside Taylor at her birthday party.
One showed the Ohio native standing alongside the Grammy winner with a huge smile, as Taylor held on to Travis’ tuxedo lapel with a sly look on her face.
In another photo, the “Karma” singer was seen holding a microphone in the air while adding a pair of black shades to her look, consisting of a black Balmain mini dress with crystal beading down the front. It’s unclear if Taylor performed at her party, in which guests dressed in various looks from her tour’s different Eras.
“Epic night for an Epic run!” Ross, 31, captioned the photos, seemingly referring to Taylor’s marathon Eras tour, which spanned five continents. It ended on December 8 in Vancouver, British Columbia, after kicking off in March 2023 in Glendale, Arizona.
Ross attended a number of Eras tour shows alongside Travis. Fans praised him for his support in the comments. One Swiftie wrote, “Thank you for sharing and supporting our girl. The way you guys have accepted and loved her is unparalleled. She deserves it, and so does Trav.”
The Eras tour wrap party was attended by Taylor and Travis’ close circle of friends.
Travis’ childhood friend and manager Aric Jones gave fans another look at the athlete’s Eras tour tuxedo, as he was seen in a set of photos shared on Thursday, December 19, giving a speech. Travis stood in front of a large lit sign reading “Era” while talking into microphone and holding a cocktail, ready to give a toast.
Travis thrilled fans with his surprise appearance on June 23 at London’s Wembley Stadium during The Tortured Poets Department era interlude prior to “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.” He carried Taylor in his arms before helping her do a costume change and applying makeup.
Appearing as part of her show was the NFL great’s idea.
“I initially mentioned it to Tay. I was like, ‘How funny would it be if I just rolled out on one of the bikes during the 1989 era,’” Travis shared during the July 3 episode of his “New Heights” podcast alongside brother Jason Kelce.
When Taylor asked Travis if he was serious about the offer, he responded, “What? I would love to do that, are you kidding me? I’ve seen the show enough — might as well put me to work here.”
The Grammy winner “found the perfect part of the show for me to come in” and Travis was blown away by being onstage with a “true showman” like Taylor.
“When everyone [in the audience] found out that it was me — because it took a second for everyone to figure it out — that moment was pretty jarring,” Travis recalled. “I was just like, ‘Oh s–t.’ And you don’t realize how big that damn stage is. It is easily as big as a football stadium … it’s way bigger than I could have ever imagined.”
“It was an absolute blast,” he continued. “It was such a fun, playful part of the show, and it was like … the perfect time for me to go up there, just be a ham and have some fun. Not only with [Taylor] … but the crowd and really try and get everybody excited for the rest of the show. It was awesome.”
