Travis Kelce<\/span> had a little help from a friend in pulling off\u00a0the huge Eras Tour birthday celebration\u00a0<\/span>for his girlfriend,\u00a0Taylor Swift<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The singer was left stunned by the\u00a0Kansas<\/span>\u00a0City Chiefs\u00a0Super Bowl<\/span>\u00a0winner last Friday night as he organized a glitzy party with her friends for her 35th birthday – she apparently thought they were going out for a meal.<\/p>\n

Pictures of the night have since flooded social media – with\u00a0Kelce even appearing to give a speech<\/span>\u00a0for his girlfriend – and it has now emerged that he enlisted\u00a0 a party planner to help him make sure it was the best night possible.<\/p>\n

The revelation came from one of Kelce’s closest friends, Harry Clark, when he shared a picture from the night that included Kelce and a mystery blonde.<\/p>\n

‘Mrs. Make it happen Amanda Carlo,’ Clark wrote with a sunglasses emoji, tagging Clark herself on Instagram.<\/p>\n

‘Thank you for putting together an amazing event,’ he added.<\/p>\n

Travis Kelce had some help from Amanda Carlo (second right) for Taylor Swift’s birthday<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"Swift<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Swift thought she was going to dinner with Kelce before finding out it was her birthday party<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Pictures<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Pictures from the party in Kansas City last Friday evening have since flooded social media<\/p>\n

Carlo’s Instagram account is private but her bio says she is the founder of Gold Griff Athlete Agency. Their website lists several Chiefs players on its talent roster but not Kelce.<\/p>\n

Before setting Gold Griff up, Carlo worked for the Chiefs as Manager of Community Outreach and Alumni Relations.<\/p>\n

In an interview with the Kansas City Star in January, Carlo said of her working day: ‘It\u2019s like the inside of a cyclone.\u00a0I am constantly pounding the pavement for the people I represent, whether it is marketing opportunities, speaking engagements, signings or events.<\/p>\n

‘I want to highlight the incredible people that they are, and that comes with supporting causes they are associated with, as well as hosting events they are associated with.’<\/p>\n

Swift’s close friend Ashley Avignone revealed that the singer had no idea about the party.<\/p>\n

Her Instagram post reflecting on the night said: ‘When she thought she was going to a small, quiet dinner but it was actually a giant surprise party with her friends and family, props included.’<\/p>\n

Brittany Mahomes – the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick –\u00a0was the first guest to post a selection of photos<\/span>\u00a0from the night out.<\/p>\n

He snaps showed how guests wore homemade friendship bracelets \u2013 like Swift’s fans at her gigs \u2013 and dressed up in costumes to mark Taylor’s different album ‘Eras’ as the singer did on stage.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\"Kelce<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Kelce was even pictured giving a speech at one stage of the 35th birthday celebrations<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ashley Avignone’s post featured images of Taylor posing with friends at the party<\/p>\n

And on Friday, PageSix quoted a source close to Kelce as saying about the party: ‘Travis had this planned for a while now and it was something he knew he wanted to do.<\/p>\n

‘She deserved a huge celebration after all the hard work she\u2019s put in (with the Eras Tour).<\/p>\n

‘He is so proud of her and thankful he was able to pull it off without a hitch.’<\/p>\n

Kelce is back in action on the football field on Saturday, when the Kansas City Chiefs host Houston Texans at Arrowhead Stadium.<\/p>\n

Swift is expected to attend. She has only been to home games so far this season but that could change on Christmas Day, with Kelce and the Chiefs in Pittsburgh to play the Steelers.<\/p>\n

After that, the Chiefs round the regular seaosn out on January 5 in Denver against the Broncos before the playoffs start and the road to the Super Bowl truly begins.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
