Taylor Swift changes lyrics to 'Karma' for Chiefs beau Travis Kelce in Argentina
As if Travis Kelce‘s bye week trip to Argentina to watch Taylor Swift perform alongside the Grammy Award winner’s dad wasn’t a big enough sign of the couple’s blossoming relationship, Swift changed the lyrics to one of her songs to shoutout her new beau on Saturday night. With Kelce watching from the VIP stands with her dad, Swift belted out the song Karma from the album Midnights, but not-so-inconspicuously changed the lyrics to mention the Kansas City star.
Instead of singing, “Karma is the guy on the screen, coming straight home to me,” she sang, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me.” Naturally, fans were ready with the cameras and snagged a video of Kelce reacting to the sneaky lyric change. The 34-year-old tight end put his hands over his face as Swift’s dad clapped him on the back.
Cameras also captured what is probably by now the most-watched kiss of all time as Swift ran off the stage after the show and embraced Kelce backstage. The kiss itself set the stadium ablaze with screams and cheers.
Kelce dropped hints that he’d be taking a special trip this week after some prodding from his brother, Jason Kelce, during their weekly New Heights podcast.
Jason asked him, “Got anything you’re looking forward to going to?” “Not really,” Travis replied. “I might just say f— it and just go somewhere nice, I don’t know. My skin’s getting real pale so I gotta go somewhere sunny.”
“Somewhere south?” Jason asked. His brother quipped “Closer to the equator.” Then there was more teasing from Jason. “South of the equator?” Travis laughed.
Swift continues South American leg of Eras Tour
Swift is performing three shows in Buenos Aires. Then the following weekend, she heads to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The tour stays in Brazil for post-Thanksgiving shows in São Paulo. It’s unclear if she’ll spend the rest of the month near the Equator or try to return to the States for her beau’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles next week.
Eagles fans were quick to notice that Swift’s dad, a noted Philadelphia fan, was wearing a Kansas City lanyard during the concert with Kelce.
Swift has been a spectator at four Chiefs games this season, taking in the action from a suite alongside Kelce’s mom, Donna, Patrick Mahomes‘ wife, Brittany, among others. Swift last showed up for the Chiefs’ 31-17 Week 7 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers (3-4) at Arrowhead Stadium on Oct. 22.
“When I mention or everybody knows that she’s at the game, the over-under on my catches kind of goes up and down,” Kelce said. “The spread goes up and down. I don’t want to mess with any of that stuff, so I’m just going to keep it to myself.”
