For the third night in a row, Taylor Swift made a football reference during her performance of “Midnight Rain” at the Eras tour. At her Sunday, October 27, concert in New Orleans, the singer mimicked boyfriend Travis Kelce’s first down signal amid a quick break in the song’s lyrics. This playful tribute to her partner not only reflects their relationship but also connects her music to the excitement of football, engaging fans from both worlds.
Travis scored his first touchdown of the 2024 season during the game, and Swifties have credited Taylor, 34, with manifesting the moment with her football-themed tributes all weekend. The Chiefs beat the Raiders 27-20 to keep up their undefeated season with a record of 7-0. This weekend marked a beautiful intersection of Taylor's music and Travis's athletic achievements, demonstrating how love can transcend different realms.
A Celebration of Love and Sports
At the end of the Sunday concert, Taylor gave her man another shout-out by once again changing the lyrics to her final song, “Karma,” to sing, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me.” While she usually reserves this lyric change for shows when Travis is in the audience, she’s done it the last two Sundays to seemingly acknowledge the Chiefs’ wins. This clever lyric alteration shows her support and affection, blending her artistic expression with her personal life.
This coming weekend, Taylor will play three shows in Indianapolis, while the Chiefs are off until their Monday Night Football game on November 4. The game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, so it’s possible Taylor could make it after a long weekend on the road. She previously attended three home games this season, proving that she balances her busy tour schedule with her commitment to support Travis.
Tour Highlights and Future Plans
After the Indianapolis shows, the Eras tour will spend two weekends in Toronto, followed by one weekend off and then the final run of shows in Vancouver. The Eras tour will conclude on December 8 after nearly two years. The excitement surrounding her concerts continues to build as fans eagerly await the final performances of this historic tour.
“This is the very first time I’ve ever acknowledged to myself and admitted that this tour is gonna end in December,” Taylor said on stage while playing the 100th show of the tour in June. “Like, that’s it. That feels like so far away from now, but then again, it feels like we just played our first show on this tour because you have made this so much fun for us that we wanted to do 100 shows, 150-something shows that we have on the whole tour.”
She concluded her speech by referring to the tour as the most “exhausting, all-encompassing but most joyful, most rewarding, most wonderful thing that has ever happened in my life, this tour, these moments with you.” Her heartfelt words resonate with fans, highlighting the emotional connection she has built through her performances.
The Intersection of Music and Football
Meanwhile, the end of the tour coincides perfectly with the NFL playoff season where the Chiefs will hopefully make a run for their third Super Bowl win in a row. Taylor was in Las Vegas to watch the team win in February, despite having played a show across the world in Japan one night prior. This shows her dedication not only to her craft but also to her partner and his career, embodying the spirit of both love and support.
As Taylor Swift continues to blend her musical journey with her personal life, fans can only wonder what other surprises she has in store for the remaining concerts of her Eras tour. The connections she makes between her art and her life create a unique experience for her audience, one that they will cherish long after the final notes of her tour have played.
