Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs’ star tight end, recently shared his exhilarating experience attending Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Paris on May 12, 2024. During the May 15 episode of the “New Heights” podcast, co-hosted with his brother, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, he spoke about the event.
Kelce was thrilled about his Paris visit, particularly enjoying Swift’s updated performance. “It was fun,” Travis said. “I had a blast at Tay’s show. I recommend that everyone see her new version of The Eras Tour. It includes her new Tortured Poets Department—a few of those songs—in the show, featuring a new segment, new lights, new dancing—new everything to the (expletive) show.”
The event was filled with celebrities. In addition to Kelce, notable attendees included model Gigi Hadid, actor Bradley Cooper, and Eagles defensive lineman Connor Barwin. Kelce was excited to reconnect with familiar faces. “I got to see a few familiar faces,” he said. “Connor Barwin was there—one of our favorite teammates ever. Then I got to see Gigi and Bradley—BC, Big Coop—we were all in the suite having a great time.”
The excitement of the evening extended beyond the concert. Kelce mentioned discussing football with Cooper, a known Philadelphia Eagles fan who recently met the Kelce brothers’ mother, Donna Kelce, at an event in New York. “It was an all-around lovely night,” Travis gushed. “I can’t tell if the shows are improving or I’m just forgetting how amazing they are. It was electric.”
Kelce also shared his desire to explore Paris with Swift. “I want to explore more of the city with Taylor,” he said, emphasizing his eagerness to spend more time in the romantic capital.
However, the evening wasn’t without its lighter moments. Jason Kelce humorously pointed out a minor blunder by Travis during the concert. “You got caught pulling an Ed Kelce move here,” Jason joked. “Taking a picture with your flash on? What are you doing, Trav? You’re better than that.” Travis defended himself, saying, “I was just trying to get some good memories. Did I get clowned for that? Sorry.”
Despite the playful teasing, Travis Kelce’s admiration for Swift’s performance and the overall experience in Paris was evident. This concert marked the fifth Eras Tour show he attended, and he seemed to enjoy each one more than the last. The atmosphere, the new elements in Swift’s performance, and the company of friends made the night unforgettable.
Swift’s Eras Tour has been a massive success, with fans and celebrities alike flocking to her concerts. The Paris show added another memorable chapter to the tour’s history, showcasing Swift’s ability to evolve and surprise her audience. Her inclusion of the new Tortured Poets Department segment, complete with fresh songs, lights, and choreography, was well-received.
The Eras Tour’s blend of nostalgia and innovation resonates with audiences, making each show a unique experience. Travis Kelce’s enthusiastic recounting of the Paris concert highlights the tour’s ability to create lasting memories for those who attend. With more dates on the horizon, the excitement surrounding Taylor Swift’s performances shows no signs of waning.
