Chiefs’ Travis Kelce arrives in Paris with A-list stars for Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras Tour’
Perhaps now the gossip sites can get some rest.
When superstar singer Taylor Swift opened the European leg of her “Eras Tour” on Thursday in Paris, some celebrity websites ran stories about why Chiefs tight end Kelce wasn’t there.
The answer was clear: Kelce was in Hollywood shooting scenes for the upcoming horror/drama “Grotesquerie” on FX while Swift was performing in Paris.
Not to worry, shooting apparently has ended for Kelce. He arrived in Paris on Sunday to see his girlfriend play the fourth night of her concert in the City of Lights. And Kelce was joined by some big stars in France.
Actor Bradley Cooper and his girlfriend, actress/model Gigi Hadid, were with Kelce at La Défense Arena. Cooper has been nominated for 12 Academy Awards in his career. Singer Lenny Kravitz was at the show, too.

Kelce, Swift, Hadid and Cooper last month spent time together in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, per People magazine, so they all know each other well.
Here are highlights from Swift’s show.
Chiefs outfit
With her beau in the house, Swift donned Chiefs colors, and there is no question this was anything but a coincidence.

Long-distance kiss
Swift also blew a kiss to Kelce during one song.

87+13 = 100
Fans had already noted Sunday’s show was the 87th in the “Eras Tour,” and Swift mentioned that, too, before she played a mashup that included “The Alchemy.” Kelce wears No. 87 for the Chiefs, and that song is loaded with references to Kelce.

So basically Taylor Swift is just singing love songs to Travis Kelce in front of all of us.

Fan support
Kelce made his way toward the stage as he prepared to meet Swift after the concert. While “Karma” was performed, fans sang “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs” to Kelce.

Like many Swift shows, even in international cities, there was a fan wearing a Chiefs jersey. Kelce noted the Swiftie in No. 87.
