Taylor Swift drops surprise Travis Kelce reference in Paris show of Eras Tour… with nod to Chiefs playoff win
Taylor Swift made sure to drop a nod at her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, while performing her song ‘So High School’ for the first time at her Eras Tour in Paris.
During her show on Thursday, Swift incorporated various songs from her new album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ into her setlist. Of course, the track rumored to be about her romance with the Chiefs star made the cut.
In the performance, Swift and her dancers broke into a ‘swag surf’ – a signature move by Kansas City fans at Arrowhead Stadium during their anthem ‘Swag Surfin’ by Fast Life Yungstaz.
Swift memorably joined the Chiefs Kingdom in the swag surf during their playoff win over the Miami Dolphins in February.
The 14-time Grammy winner and her entourage did the routine while standing on bleachers, swaying side to side and making wave-like motions with their hands.

Additionally, Swift had her dancer Kameron Saunders – brother of former Chief Khalen Saunders – imitate Kelce’s touchdown celebration during the lyrics: ‘You know what you want, and boy you got her.’
Their high-profile relationship stemmed from Kelce’s failed attempt to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his number during her show in Kansas City last year.
By late September, the pair were seen at a Chiefs game together for the first time as their fairytale love story began dominating headlines. Nearly a year since his first effort went in vain, the three-time Super Bowl winner now stars in the setlists for Swift’s sold-out shows.
Thursday’s show marked the resumption of Swift’s record-selling tour after a two-month break

Thursday’s show in Paris marked Swift’s first performance after a two-month break from the record-breaking tour. The concert also kicked off a series of shows in Europe before she wraps the year up in Canada by December.
Although Kelce was absent at Swift’s show while preparing to defend the NFL title with the Chiefs, he did show support on social media.
After Swift’s guitarist Paul Sidoti posted a picture of himself on stage with the popstar to commemorate the tour resuming, Kelce took to the comment section and wrote: ‘LFG!!!’
