It will be Kelce’s third trip to Vegas in two weeks. He was also there earlier this week to play some golf and relax with friends before flying out to meet up with Swift in Australia.
A Las Vegas DJ posted on Instagram that he had been booked by the Chiefs for an event on Friday night but it seems Kelce will not make it in time for that.
The tight end was fully embraced by his girlfriend’s loyal group of fans at Accor Stadium on Thursday night.
In one clip from the show, a grinning Kelce could be seen trading friendship bracelets with the Swifties. In another video, he waved at screaming fans as he walked by.
Swift decided to give two nods to her beau in the audience through her lyrics during the show.
During the second verse of her song ‘Long Live’ off her album ‘Speak Now’, Swift sang the line ‘We are the kings and the queens / You traded your baseball cap for a crown / When they gave us our trophies / And we held them up for our town.’
At the mention of trophies, Swift held her guitar up and seemed to point out in the direction of Kelce in the audience.
That drew cheers from the packed audience at the Accor Stadium in the Olympic Park suburb of Sydney.
Later in the show, Swift had an encore of her altered ‘Karma’ lyric, where she once again sang out ‘Karma is the guy on the Chiefs’ instead of ‘guy on the screen’.
The couple were reportedly staying together at the high-end hotel Crown Towers in a suite that runs up over $16,300 USD ($25,000 AUD).
Swift and Kelce also visited the Sydney Zoo during their time in the city – a move that was criticized by animal rights organization PETA.
The animal rights nonprofit organization released a statement saying the couple should ‘spend their time and money at a true sanctuary,’ instead.
In a shared statement, PETA Foundation’s Director of Captive Animal Welfare, Debbie Metzler, said, ‘While we understand all too well the appeal of seeing Australia’s wildlife, PETA hopes that next time Taylor and Travis want to see wild animals, they’ll spend their time and money at a true sanctuary.’
The popstar and her NFL boyfriend went on a date at the 16.5-hectare site earlier this week ahead of Swift’s three concerts in Australia’s biggest city, as they were even spotted even petting a little kangaroo.
