NFL star Travis Kelce surprised fans Friday night, October 25, by showing up at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans to support girlfriend Taylor Swift at her “Eras Tour” concert.

Just two days before the Kansas City Chiefs’ game against the Las Vegas Raiders, Kelce made the most of his schedule, joining close friend Ross Travis to cheer on Swift. Dressed casually in a gray hoodie, white t-shirt, and brown pants, Kelce was spotted taking photos near Swift’s tour signage in the Superdome lobby before heading to the VIP tent.

Fans flocking to Swift’s concert were thrilled by Kelce’s appearance, which added to the excitement of an already highly anticipated show. Known for his genuine, down-to-earth personality, Kelce has often shared his admiration for Swift’s music and the vibrant energy of her concerts.

“I love the lively atmosphere at Taylor’s shows,” Kelce remarked in a recent interview, further endearing himself to fans as he continues to support Swift’s career despite his own busy NFL schedule.

Swift’s fans and locals have embraced her arrival with full fanfare, as New Orleans prepares for her three-night concert residency. The Caesars Superdome added a special touch to welcome the star: a giant inflatable friendship bracelet, a nod to the fan tradition that originated from Swift’s song “You’re On Your Own, Kid.” Fans from across the country arrived early, snapping photos and trading friendship bracelets in the stadium lobby—a symbol of the unique camaraderie Swift’s shows inspire.

Adding to the buzz surrounding Swift and Kelce’s relationship, sources revealed that the couple is considering adopting a rescue kitten. With Swift already a proud “cat mom” to three felines—Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin Button—the couple’s shared love for animals has only grown. “They love the idea of saving a cat’s life and know there are so many in need,” an insider shared. Travis has fully embraced life with Swift’s cats, even planning to create a “cat patio” for safe outdoor play.

With Swift’s global tour nearing its final stretch and Kelce heading back to the field soon, New Orleans is set to celebrate one of the last legs of the “Eras Tour” in style. From themed brunches to special merchandise, the city is buzzing, ensuring Swift’s time in New Orleans will leave an unforgettable mark on both her fans and the city.
