Taylor Swift just wrapped up night one of her Eras Tour in Sydney, Australia, and several things happened:
Travis Kelce Was There
He showed up in a 1989-coded ‘fit with a wrist packed full of friendship bracelets. But on top of all ^ that ^, Tay performed “Karma” at the end of her show and went ahead and changed the lyrics to “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me.”

Which, as you might remember, is not her first time doing this since she also surprised Travis with the lyrical change back in November 2023:

ANYWAY, after singing “Karma” and causing our hearts to collectively melt, Taylor reunited with Travis as soon as she walked off stage—by which I mean she ran into his arms for a hug and a kiss that was caught on camera by fans:

A reminder that Travis flew in to see Taylor in Sydney on Tuesday. It’s unclear how long he’ll be in town for, but the singer does have three more shows at Accor Stadium, so…chances are we could be getting more cute moments like these. After Sydney, Taylor is headed to Singapore, where Travis’ dad, Ed Kelce, implied the footballer would be as well. “Well, look, we spoke after the Super Bowl, and I asked him, are you going to take off for Sydney, and he seemed keen,” Ed said, via Us Weekly. “He said he’d really like to see Sydney and Singapore, but he wasn’t sure because he has commitments.”
The couple is also expected to be traveling to Europe together later this year—at least, according to a People source who said Taylor and Travis are “making plans for the summer and are excited to travel together in Europe when Taylor takes her tour there.”
