Taylor Swift debuts new costumes for Eras Tour: Was that a Chiefs red leotard ?

Travis Kelce was uppermost in a lot of minds Thursday as his significant other, Taylor Swift, resumed her Eras Tour in Paris.

Is he there, fans wondered in the hours leading up to the concert.

Before Swifties got their answer, Kelce’s Super Bowl winning-Kansas City Chiefs became part of the discussion, too, the moment Swift strutted onto the stage at La Défense Arena in Paris to sing the opening song, “Lover.”

She wore a sequined leotard, new on the tour, that looked red to a lot of Swifties watching grainy livestreams.

Chiefs red?

Or was it orange? Coral?

According to Us Weekly, the custom Versace bodysuit was bedazzled with orange crystals and hot pink sequins, which together under bright lights did seem to glow red. When she moved into singing “The Man,” Swift donned a glittery orange blazer over it.

For the “Fearless” set she wore a new Naeem Khan leotard fringed with silver and black beads, similar to one she wore on her 2009 Fearless tour.

Later she wore a two-piece outfit — a short blue skirt and midriff-baring crop top — with cheerleader vibes.

Most noteworthy she wore the white gown from her new “Fortnite” video as she added a new “The Tortured Poets Department” set.

Fans in livestream chats went a little off the rails when she glided onto the stage in a giant new ballgown for the “Speak Now” era of songs.

With a long train trailing behind her, it evoked something a bride might wear down the aisle.

Given that she promised at the beginning of the concert “all kinds of fun surprises,” the reactions were not surprising.

“A wedding dress!”

“Holy train.”

“Wedding vibes.”

“Is Travis there?”

Ah, but clowning only goes so far.

A few Travis Kelce jerseys were sprinkled among fans lining up outside La Défense Arena in Paris, where Taylor Swift launched the European leg of her Eras Tour on Thursday.

Kansas City Swiftie JoJoinKC warned those watching a livestream with her that “hey guys, if anyone talks about marriage here we’re going to block you. We don’t do that here.”

“Please and thank you.”

No photos of Kelce showed up on social media before or during the concert.

Swift has four more concerts in Paris before moving on to Sweden next week.
