Travis Kelce almost managed to go incognito at Taylor Swift's latest Eras tour show.
But eagle-eyed fans spotted the Kansas City Chiefs star walking out with the singer backstage at her second concert at Johan Cruijff ArenA in Amsterdam.
And on the couple's extended Fourth of July weekend, sparks flew between them. As seen in videos shared on social media, the two waved to fans, with Travis hyping them up before hugging his girlfriend and planting a kiss on her head as the couple made their way through the area.
Many fans had suspected the NFL star was at the show when during Taylor's closing performance of her song "Karma," she sang the lyric "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs." The singer had debuted the alternative line to her 2022 track when Travis supported her at her concert in Argentina in November and later sang it at more shows he attended.
The athlete was previously spotted at Taylor's third concert in Dublin, Ireland on June 30, watching his girlfriend perform while standing with fellow Swiftie Julia Roberts in a VIP area.
A week prior, he made his onstage Eras tour debut, joining Taylor and her backup dancers at London's Wembley Stadium as a guest performer, during which he carried the singer bridal-style across the stage.
Travis had originally planned a different cameo.
“I initially mentioned it to Tay,” he told Jason. “I was like, ‘How funny would it be if I just rolled out on one of the bikes during the 1989 album. That era.’”
Taylor, Travis said, began laughing. “She was like, ‘Would you seriously be up for doing something like that?’" he recalled. "And I was like, ‘What? I would love to do that. Are you kidding me?’ I’ve seen the show enough, might as well put me to work here.”
Travis has attended more than 10 Eras tour concerts on five continents since he famously attempted, without success, to pass on a friendship bracelet with his number on it to Taylor at her show in Kansas City, Mo.—home of the Chiefs—almost exactly one year ago. The two went on to begin dating later that summer of 2023.
Look back at Taylor and Travis' road to romance...
July 2023: So, Make the Friendship Bracelets
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's love story began in July 2023, when the singer's Eras Tour made a stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it. However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals.
"I was disappointed that she doesn't talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings," Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. "So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn't get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her."
Summer 2023: This Is Him Trying
After publicly recounting his fumble—a move Taylor would later describe as "metal as hell"—Travis decided to shoot his shot and invite the Grammy winner to watch the Chiefs play at Arrowhead Stadium.
"I threw it out there, I threw the ball in her court," he shared on The Pat McAfee Show. "I told her, you know, 'I've seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead, you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one's a little more lit.' So, we'll see what happens in the near future."
August 2023: Enchanted to Meet You
Travis was rocking a mustache—which he debuted in August during training camp—when he was first introduced to Taylor.
As he later noted of the era, "That 'stache and the 87 jersey was pretty iconic there for a little bit, and I had it when I met Taylor for the first time."

September 2023: Cheer Captain
Accepting Travis' invite, Taylor joined the athlete's mom Donna Kelce at Arrowhead Stadium to watch him and the Chiefs take on the Chicago Bears. After the game, Taylor and Travis were seen packing PDA at a local bar.
Though folklore had it that it was the couple's first in-person meeting, the "Karma" singer later clarified the two had spent a "significant amount of time" getting to know each other beforehand.
As Taylor noted, "We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date."
October 2023: Team Up
