Swift and Kelce set the stage ablaze with the swoon-worthy skit they performed during her third Eras Tour show at Wembley Stadium in London. Taking a break from cheering his beloved girlfriend on from the VIP tents, Kelce decided to make Swift’s performance extra special.

Looking quite dapper in a top hat and a high-end black and white suit, Kelce swept Swift off her feet, literally. The duo and two other male performers acted out a transition scene for Swift’s “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” where they helped her with an outfit change.

Several videos shared on online platforms show Kelce carrying a tuckered-out Swift to a lengthy red couch that was placed in the center of the stage. After setting her down, Swift acts like she is too tired to get up, and thus, the gentlemen help her up.

A comedic back-and-forth showing them propping Swift up and her falling right back down on the couch ensues while Kelce fans her face. The final time they lift the singer, she opens her eyes and acts puzzled as to where she is, looking around the stadium before turning to Kelce who playfully touches up her makeup with a blush brush.

Following that exchange, Swift then playfully acts as though she is reluctant to get ready for the next song. She rolls her eyes and cocks her head to one side while slipping off the white dress she was wearing for the song prior, which prompts Kelce to fan himself.

She steps out of the dress to reveal the white bra top and matching shorts she had on underneath. Finishing off her new ensemble, the “Shake it Off” talent pairs her outfit with the same white heel boots and black gloves she already had on, and the dancers cover her shoulders with a long white suit jacket with black sparkly detailing on each side.

Still feigning like she doesn’t want to perform, Swift exasperatedly throws up her hands as Kelce tries to encourage her by showing her what she needs to doβdance and put on a show.
He adds some finishing touches to her makeup right before one of the dancers places a mic in front of her and all three of them (the dancers, including Kelce) send her off on her way. Adding to the show business feel of the skit, some classic jazz music was playing in the background.

Taking to her own Instagram page, Swift shared a carousel of pictures from different moments of her performances at Wembley Stadium. Photos ranged from the iconic skit with Kelce to her belting out chords with fellow singers and friends, Hayley Williams and Gracie Abrams.

Penning a lengthy caption filled with awe and gratitude, Swift did her best to sum up how she felt about her whirlwind performance round at Wembley. “Wembley Stadium round one was so surreal. Looking out into the crowds of 90,000 fans each night and hearing that VOLUME,” she began.

Continuing on, Swift wrote, “Those were some of the loudest crowds I’ve ever heard […] I got to sing ‘Castles Crumbling’ with @yelyahwilliams for the first time […] my heart was just so full of love for her and our friendship. Then the impossibly gifted and wonderful @gracieabrams came and surprised the crowd with the first performance of our song ‘us.'”

Spotlighting her beau, Kelce, Swift also mentioned, “And I’m still cracking up/swooning over @killatrav’s Eras Tour debut π₯° Never going to forget these shows.” The official Instagram page of the NFL also shared a post of the performance, captioning, “@killatrav was made for the stage π.”
From the ear-piercing cheers emanating from the joyous hoards of fans at Wembley Stadium, it’s no wonder that Swift and Kelce received just as much, if not more, praise online. “i literally cried every time i saw the travis & taylor performance πββββπππππππ so happy,” gushed a fan.
Posting their comment alongside a sweet picture of Kelce beaming as he lovingly looked at Swift strut down the stage, another admirer penned, “Stay with whoever looks at you like Travis Kelce looks at Taylor Swift #TaylorSwift.”

People were so enchanted by Swift and Kelce’s skit that murmurs of engagement started to surface. “Only an engagement can top this now. β¨,” expressed a fan.
Conversely, another stated, “Honestly Taylor Swift could drop an engagement announcement right now and I’m not sure it would cause as much shock across the internet as her having Travis on stage for #LONDONTSTHEERASTOUR.” Amid the praise, however, there was one critic who said, “She’s just using him!”

Joining the many people who posted and reposted clips from the famous performance, Kelce’s mom reportedly reposted a video of her son on Facebook. Adding extra flare to the show, a media outlet reports that Swift seemingly clapped back at Foo Fighters frontman, David Grohl, for his comment about her.

He recently insinuated that the “Blank Space” artist doesn’t perform live and in response, Swift made it a point to give her band a shoutout during the show. She clarified that they play “live for three and a half hours,” a retaliation Swifties called classy.
Riding on a high following her show, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce celebrated their triumphant performance with a London date night. Photos showed the pair leaving the venue hand-in-hand, twinning in crochet ensembles.
