Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour hit London over the weekend, and it’s no shock that her boyfriend of almost one 12 months, Chiefs tight finish Travis Kelce, was there. However what was sudden was Kelce becoming a member of Swift on stage.
The European tour kicked off in Might and noticed the Eras setlist rearranged a bit. Taylor’s three-hour set opens with songs from her album Lover, then goes to Fearless, Crimson, Communicate Now, Status, and she or he’s condensed and mixed the set from Evermore and Folklore, which is a change from the earlier leg of the tour. The enduring 1989 is up subsequent, after which comes Taylor’s new part from her newest, The Tortured Poets Division. That’s the place Kelce is available in.
The music Kelce joined Taylor on stage for is one in every of my favorites from TTPD. It’s referred to as ‘I Can Do It with a Damaged Coronary heart’ and it’s about how Taylor’s needed to preserve performing it doesn’t matter what private {and professional} heartbreak she’s experiencing. It’s a bop with extremely trustworthy lyrics:
I’m so depressed, I act prefer it’s my birthday
Day-after-day
I’m so obsessive about him, however he avoids me
Just like the plague
I cry so much, however I’m so productive
It’s an artwork
You recognize you’re good when you possibly can even do it
With a damaged coronary heart
The intro to this one about broke the web — even with out Kelce concerned — when Swift carried out it in the course of the Paris present that kicked off the European tour.
The best factor about that is simply how a lot enjoyable Kelce seems to be having being part of it.
And Kelce appears to be having the time of his life cheering on Taylor whether or not he’s on stage or not.
Particularly when she modified the lyrics to her music ‘Karma’ to, “Karma is the man on the Chiefs coming straight house to me.”
The Tortured Poets Division is the primary Taylor Swift album that options songs written about Travis Kelce. My private favourite is known as ‘So Excessive College,’ a candy music about how enjoyable and simple their relationship feels. There’s additionally hypothesis that the final verse of ‘However Daddy I Love Him,’ a music that’s in any other case assumed to be about Taylor’s ex, The 1975 entrance man Matty Healy (aka ‘The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,’ one other music off of TTPD) is about Travis. These lyrics:
And I’m dancin’ in my gown within the solar and
Even my daddy simply loves him
I’m his girl, and oh my God you need to see your faces
Doesn’t it give some perspective
And no, you possibly can’t come to the marriage
I do know he’s loopy, however he’s the one I need
As a matter of truth, Taylor goes straight from the tip of that music right into a snippet of ‘So Excessive College’ within the present model of her Eras present, which helps gas that hypothesis. And he or she and her backup dancers even swag surf throughout it — which has bought to be a nod to Chiefs followers.
Taylor Swift has carried out with former flame John Mayer, but it surely was manner again in 2009. She introduced Taylor Lautner of Twilight fame — who she dated in 2009 — onstage at Arrowhead Stadium final July and launched him, however he didn’t carry out along with her and it was greater than a decade after they’d dated. So far as I can inform (from Google and polling each Swiftie I do know), this marks the primary time Taylor Swift has had a love curiosity come onto stage and carry out along with her in any manner.
Swift has been criticized endlessly for her relationships in methods males aren’t — one thing she addresses on her music ‘The Man’ off of Lover:
They’d say I performed the field earlier than I discovered somebody to decide to
And that may be OK
For me to do
Each conquest I had made would make me extra of a boss to you
However this relationship with Kelce appears very wholesome, blissful and mutually supportive. Right here’s hoping they preserve having this a lot enjoyable collectively.
