Travis Kelce Steps Out in Kansas City as Taylor Swift Performs Eras Tour Shows in Melbourne
The Chiefs tight end grabbed lunch with a pal this weekend while the pop star performed shows in Australia for her Eras Tour
Travis Kelce will be supporting girlfriend Taylor Swift on tour — but not just yet!
It’s been less than one week since Kelce, 34, and the Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers in the 2024 Super Bowl, and the football star is still enjoying some well-earned rest.
On Saturday afternoon, the Chiefs tight end — hot off of a second consecutive Super Bowl win — spent some time with a friend in Kansas City, Missouri, photos obtained by Daily Mail show.
In the photos, Kelce drove a Rolls Royce and walked on the sidewalk with the pal while heading to local spot, Rye, according to the outlet, to grab a bite to eat.
While Kelce strolled around Kansas City in casualwear — an acid-wash sweatsuit and black snapback — Swift was back in her Eras Tour wardrobe in Australia, where she recently resumed the latest leg of the record-breaking tour after attending Kelce’s championship game last week.
On Friday, the pop star played the first of seven Australian shows at Melbourne Cricket Ground, which was “the biggest show that we have done on this tour or any tour I have ever done,” she told the crowd on the night in a clip shared on X (formerly Twitter).
The following night, Swift delighted fans with a medley of “Getaway Car,” “August” and “The Other Side of the Door,” during the surprise portion of her setlist, while during Sunday’s show at the same venue, she also talked about the huge crowds in attendance at her three Melbourne performances.
In a clip posted on X, she told the audience: “The math is that it’s 288,000 people in three nights.” She continued. “Melbourne, you are the love of my life. I cannot believe you, what have you done.”
Following the Australian leg, Swift will make her way to Singapore in early March. Then, in May, the hitmaker will set off on a long string of European dates — more than four dozen shows through August — starting in Paris and ending in London.
And while her football star beau doesn’t appear to have joined her at the international dates as of Sunday, a source close to the Kelce family told PEOPLE that the player plans to spend time in the NFL offseason supporting Swift — just like she did at 13 games over his season.
“Football is everything to him. He lives and breathes it. But he’s ready for some downtime now and to show up for Taylor the way she has for him,” the insider told PEOPLE. “The attention on them is definitely a lot, but Travis has done a great job deflecting and focusing on what’s important.”
The star couple also has the full support of Kelce’s inner circle, the source noted.
“Everyone is so happy for Travis and the whole family. He really is feeling on top of the world,” the insider said. “His family is beyond supportive, and they’re just along for the ride with him and to be there for him.”
“They all love Taylor and see how happy she makes him,” they added.
