Taylor Swift pays sweet tribute to Travis Kelce as she strikes his signature pose at Eras Tour finale
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA: Taylor Swift gave one last nod to her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, during the finale of her Eras Tour in Vancouver on Sunday, Dec. 8.
The 34-year-old singer delighted fans by altering the lyrics of her hit song 'Karma' to reference Kelce and his Kansas City Chiefs, as per People.
Taylor Swift playfully calls Travis Kelce 'the guy in the Chiefs'
Standing centerstage with her dancers, Taylor Swift sang, “Karma is the guy in the Chiefs, coming straight home to me,” prompting cheers from the crowd.
Kelce was not present for the final show but has made appearances throughout the tour, with Swift often incorporating playful references to him, including a signature archer pose inspired by his dance moves.
Swift first debuted the 'Karma' lyric change during a November 2023 show in Argentina, where Kelce was in attendance.
Fan footage from that performance captured Kelce’s endearing reaction, smiling and covering his face in surprise as he danced alongside Swift’s father, Scott Swift.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end has been referenced multiple times during the Eras Tour.
In October, Swift included the same lyric change at a Miami show following the Chiefs’ victory over the San Francisco 49ers, even though Kelce was not in the audience.
The archer pose, another nod to Kelce, has become a fan-favorite moment.
