Taylor Swift kicked off the European leg of her “Eras” tour on July 27th in Munich, dazzling fans with a new fiery red Versace bodysuit embroidered with “Swift” and the number 87, a tribute to her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce.
The 34-year-old Chiefs player, who wears the number 87 jersey, won his second consecutive Super Bowl with Swift cheering him on in February.
According to sources close to Swift, this new outfit is a “sweetheart outfit” meant to honor her relationship with Kelce.
The pop superstar’s previous bodysuit, a soft pink and blue ensemble, resembled a serene sunset, while this new look embodies the sun itself with its bold hue.
Swift and Kelce’s intense love affair has led to extraordinary gestures from both sides. Swift attended 13 Chiefs games this past season to support Kelce, and he has been by her side throughout her European tour. The NFL star has traveled with Swift to cities including Paris, London, Dublin, and Amsterdam, attending 14 of her “Eras” tour shows. Notably, Kelce made a surprise appearance as a backup dancer during Swift’s third sold-out show at Wembley Stadium in London, lifting her up and carrying her around the stage to the delight of 90,000 fans.
Engagement Rumors Swirl After Emotional Performance
Swift’s recent performance in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, sparked engagement rumors with Kelce. During the concert, she gave an emotional rendition of her song “Paper Rings,” which features romantic lyrics like “I like shiny things but I’ll marry you with a paper ring” and “Baby, you’re the one I want.” This performance led fans to speculate that Swift was subtly announcing her engagement to Kelce.
Social media buzzed with excitement as fans dissected the meaning behind Swift’s song choice and her emotional delivery. One fan on X (formerly Twitter) exclaimed, “She’s so ready to go forever and Travis is so coded,” while another wrote, “I hope they secretly get engaged.”
Despite the growing frenzy, neither Swift nor Kelce has confirmed the engagement rumors. Representatives for both celebrities have yet to respond to requests for comment. The couple, who have been in a relationship for nearly two years, have largely kept their romance out of the public eye. Kelce, a standout linebacker for the Kansas City Chiefs, is known for his prowess on the football field, while Swift continues to dominate the music industry with award-winning albums and sold-out tours.
Swift’s Record-Breaking Tour Continues
Swift’s “Eras” tour is breaking records worldwide. After her performances in Munich, she will head to Warsaw and Vienna before returning to London’s Wembley Stadium for five more sold-out shows from August 15th to August 20th. These final UK dates will bring her total performances in London to eight, more than any other city on her world tour.
Swifties around the world eagerly await her return to London, after which she will take a brief hiatus before resuming her tour in Canada in November. Fans are hopeful for another surprise appearance by Kelce and are also speculating about a potential major announcement from Swift, possibly hinting at the release of “Reputation (Taylor’s Version).”
As Swift and Kelce navigate their demanding careers, their dedication to making time for each other has only strengthened their bond, delighting fans and onlookers alike.
