Who can forget when Taylor Swift brought Travis Kelce on stage during her Eras Tour show in London at Wembley Stadium over the summer?
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end earned boisterous applause from the crowd, with videos of the moment going viral. And during his time on stage, he was responsible for picking up and carrying Taylor to the couch, applying some makeup, and encouraging her to go out there and perform.
It was so iconic, that this moment got nominated at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards for favorite surprise guest.
And they won!
Along with being nominated alongside Swift, Kelce was also up for the award after appearing onstage with Patrick Mahomes and Chris Jones when Morgan Wallen performed at Arrowhead Stadium.
But, who are we to fight the alchemy?
This Eras Tour moment is still being talked about, and Travis even discussed it on his New Heights podcast right after it happened.
“Shoutout to Tay for letting me jump on stage with her,” Travis said on the episode of New Heights. “Who knows, it might not be the last time? You guys will have to keep showing up to the Eras Tour to see if I pop out of the stage or not.”
And he even had the original idea to join the dancers and ride bikes in the background as she sings ‘Blank Space’ from her album 1989. But Swift decided that he would be much better off coming on stage for the transition to ‘I Can Do It With A Broken Heart’ from her latest album The Tortured Poets Department.
It took fans a moment to realize it was him, but when they did, 90,000 people were all cheering his name.
“When everyone found out that it was me. Because it took a moment for everyone to figure it out and then they kind of put the camera on me. Kam and Jan, the three of us coming up the stage or on top of the stage,” Travis explained. “That moment was pretty jarring. I was just like, ‘oh sh**!’ And you don’t realize how big that damn stage is. It is easily as big as a football stadium, like in terms of length. And then on top of that, it’s almost numbers to numbers. It’s way bigger than I could have every imagined. So being on the stage, I was just like, man I feel tiny up here. ”
It was a moment that we will never forget.
