How Taylor Swift paid tribute to ‘guy on the Chiefs’ Travis Kelce at her final Eras Tour show
It’s a love story.
Taylor Swift couldn’t end her Eras Tour without final nods to her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, while onstage Sunday night.
Fans freaked out when Swift, 34, referred to the NFL player, 35, in her “Karma” performance in Vancouver.

The Grammy winner changed the song’s original line about “the guy on the screen” — her ex Joe Alwyn — to “the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to” her.
The songwriter first made the lyric swap in November 2023 during a Buenos Aires show.
“We got ONE LAST ‘Karma is the guy on the Chiefs,’” a TikTok user captioned a concert video over the weekend. “AHHH!”
Multiple social media users gushed over the “happiness in her voice” when Swift sings about the athlete.
“The way you can always hear her smile when she says [the line]. 🥹🥹🥹,” one gushed. “She deserves this kind of love 💞.”
Another concertgoer “caught” Swift doing an archer pose while singing “So High School,” which is a song believed to be about Kelce.
The move has been the Super Bowl winner’s signature during football field celebrations, with him explaining the reason in an October 2023 “New Heights” episode.
“I do the archer pose when I enter the stadium because I wanted to do something when I ran out of the tunnel,” he said at the time. “What’s really been motivating for me is to dream big. Always shoot for the stars.”
Swift, notably, has used the same dance pose in her choreography for her 2019 song “The Archer” since before she began dating Kelce last year.
The couple got together in the summer of 2023 after the tight end admitted on a podcast episode that he tried to give Swift his number during an Eras Tour performance in Missouri.
At the time, Swift was fresh off of her and 1975 frontman Matty Healy’s short-lived fling.
Before that, the American Music Award winner was in a six-year relationship with Alwyn, 33, with news breaking in April 2023 that the duo had called it quits.
