Taylor Shows Wears Kansas City Chiefs Colors at Paris Concert
Taylor Swift closed out her Eras Tour run in Paris with a discreet shout-out to her “guy on the Chiefs.”
The pop diva, 34, performed at her fourth and final Paris concert at the La Défense Arena on Sunday, May 12, where she donned a Roberto Cavalli two-piece with a vibrant yellow crop top during her 1989 set and a red Alberta Ferretti gown for the Evermore segment. Swift’s beau and Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce, was in the audience on Sunday along with friends Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper. Sunday’s show is Swift’s 87th Eras concert overall, which happens to be the same number on the back of Kelce’s football jersey.
Swift will next travel to Sweden for her next performance on Friday, May 17, before taking the Eras Tour throughout Europe with dates through August. She is scheduled to revisit the United States in the autumn and will wind up the tour in Canada in December.
Swift, who initially started off the Eras Tour in the U.S. in March 2023, has been on a two-month sabbatical since performing in Singapore. During her hiatus, she released her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, which debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart in April and occupied the top 14 positions of the Billboard Hot 100 chart in its first week.
With sales in its first week totaling 2.61 million units, The Tortured Poets Department became a record-breaking success for Swift.
“My mind is blown. I’m utterly stunned by the affection you’ve shown this album,” she wrote via Instagram in April. “2.6 million ARE YOU ACTUALLY SERIOUS?? Thank you for listening, streaming and welcoming Tortured Poets into your existence. Feeling utterly overwhelmed.”
Swift went on to express her enthusiasm for resuming the Eras Tour following her fans’ support of her new album. “I was already so fired up to get back to the tour but you doing THIS??” she added. “May 9th can’t come soon enough.”

In February, Swift previewed the process behind the creation of the record. “I needed to make it. It was really a lifeline for me,” she told the audience during a Melbourne concert. “It sort of reminded me of why songwriting is something that actually gets me through life and I’ve never had an album where I’ve needed songwriting more than I needed it on Tortured Poets.”
Although the Eras Tour already had an extensive setlist that encompassed three and a half hours, Swift evidently indicated in April that she planned to add The Tortured Poets Department to the itinerary. Fans observed several potential clues in a YouTube Shorts video of her tour rehearsals at the time, including a sign that appeared to feature the album’s logo and new decorations for her support dancers.
