Travis Kelce Rocks Friendship Bracelets! as he Supports his Lover Taylor Swift at Her 1st Eras Tour Show in Sydney

Swift will perform for four nights, from Feb. 23 to Feb. 26

Travis Kelce flew halfway across the world to support Taylor Swift in Sydney for her Eras Tour!

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, was spotted walking through the crowd at his girlfriend’s concert on the first night of her world tour’s stop at the Accor Stadium on Friday.

In a video posted to X (formerly known as Twitter), Swift’s fans could be seen screaming as Kelce, who was dressed in a matching blue T-shirt and shorts, clapped and waved as he made his way to his spot to watch the show. Another video posted on X showed the tight end standing in the VIP tent at the stadium, clapping as the music swelled and the crowd cheered. Kelce — who even wore friendship bracelets, which Swifties have worn and swapped throughout the Eras Tour, on both arms — then smiled as he looked toward the stage.

Kelce wasn’t the only famous face in attendance at Friday’s show, with singers Katy Perry and Rita Ora spotted chatting in the crowd as they waited for the show to start. Ora’s husband, filmmaker Taika Waititi, also joined the duo.

The pop superstar’s first of four nights at the stadium kicked off shortly before 8 p.m. local time following a delay due to adverse weather. “Please note, due to weather, show start time has been delayed,” the Accor Stadium shared in a post on X. “Stay undercover until further notice and follow venue screens and staff instructions. Stay safe and remember to be kind to those around you.”

According to a post on X, Swift, also 34, addressed the weather as she took to the stage and told the crowd, “We have a little bit of a weather situation, a little bit of rain but I have never known an Aussie crowd that let anything get in the way!”

She later told her fans, “You’re really making me feel like tonight I get to play a sold out show for 81,000 people in Sydney.”

Swift’s support act, Sabrina Carpenter, was unable to perform her set due to the delay. According to local media outlet ABC, fans had earlier been evacuated due to lightning strikes near the stadium.

PEOPLE confirmed on Wednesday that Kelce would arrive in Australia to attend the Friday show after speculation that the athlete would travel to the land Down Under to see Swift. It’s currently unknown how many shows he plans to see.

The football star’s father Ed Kelce told The Sydney Morning Herald that his son “seemed keen” to fly to Sydney. He added that Travis “said he’d really like to see Sydney and Singapore” but ​​”wasn’t sure because he has commitments.”

Since going public with their relationship in September, the power couple have shown up for each other on several occasions. During 13 games in the past NFL season, Swift could be spotted cheering for her boyfriend and his team from a suite. At the Super Bowl, after the Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers to defend their title, Swift was part of the crowd on the field celebrating with Kelce.

“Thank you for coming, baby,” Travis said in a mic’d moment as he held Swift on the pitch. “Thank you for making it halfway across the world.” The pop star had flown straight to Las Vegas from her last Tokyo show to watch the Chiefs’ overtime victory.

Back in November, for Swift’s stint in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Travis flew out on a bye week for the “Cruel Summer” singer’s concert. After Swift closed the show, cameras caught her running to embrace and kiss her boyfriend backstage.

As Swift kicks off the 2024 leg of her two-year tour, Travis intends to spend his offseason accompanying her. An insider told PEOPLE that the pair “are making plans for the summer and are excited to travel together in Europe when Taylor takes her tour there.”
