The chance meeting between the two at Taylor Swift’s gig saw them hug and talk, with lip readers rushing to decode what was said between the pair.
Many Swifties called the interaction ‘weird’ while one TikToker said: “Not Julia scratching him like a kitty kat.”
“First thought: why is that lady pawing at Travis? Realized it’s Julia Robert’s then started wondering why Julia Roberts is pawing at Travis Kelce,” someone else added.

However some were delighted to see the pair, as one user commented: “It’s giving My Best Friend’s Wedding vibe, Miss Julia Roberts.”
Another shared: “Julia Roberts is one of FEW that can get away with this LOVE HER!”

Whilst we can’t know for certain, it’s thought that Julia is said to be ‘congratulating’ Travis, as a few different lip readers on social media have said she appears to say: “I am just so happy for you guys.'”
Now the Kansas City Chiefs player has spoken out after the impromptu meeting at Taylor’s Dublin performance.
Speaking on the latest episode of his New Heights podcast, he said: “I met Julia Roberts in Ireland, in Dublin.

“That was pretty cool.”
He then added that Julia was also with Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks in the VIP tent at the show. So whilst he didn’t say much, it’s clear there were no bad vibes between the two.
The incident also isn’t the first time lip readers have studied Travis Kelce at one of Taylor’s gigs, and previously they managed to decode what he said during a cameo appearance on stage.

Donning a black top hat and a full tuxedo suit, Travis joined part of the act alongside two other dancers and carried Taylor across the stage while she was playing dead.
A lip reader revealed what was allegedly said between the pair as she shared a video to her Instagram under the account @tismejackieg.
After watching the performance carefully, she thinks she’s decoded what was said between the two, starting with Travis apparently telling Taylor to ‘wake up!’ as part of the act.
Next in true sportsman style, Travis then fans Taylor and tries to rouse her as he cheers her on and is thought to have said: “You get back out there!”
