During the surprise song section of the Eras Tour in Singapore, some sharp-eyed fans are convinced that Taylor Swift intentionally mashed up her songs "Fifteen" and "You're On Your Own Kid".
On Thursday, March 6, the 34-year-old singer performed a blend of the Fearless track and the Midnights song. Interestingly, "You're On Your Own Kid" has become her most frequently played surprise song during the Eras Tour, with Thursday's concert being the fifth time she has included it in her setlist.
Taylor Swift sang her song "Fifteen" recently, but she left out the lyrics that talk about doing greater things than dating the football team captain. Instead, she chose to focus on other parts of the song. However, some fans couldn't help but notice that Taylor herself has been dating a football player, Travis Kelce from the Kansas City Chiefs, since the summer of 2023.
One fan shared this observation on social media, highlighting the irony of the situation.
One person shared their interest in researching how Taylor Swift did not sing the lyrics "In your life you'll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team" through X.
Kelce, who is also 34 years old, has traveled a few times to support his girlfriend and is said to be heading to Singapore, as mentioned by Cleveland resident Eric Flannery. In a post via X on Tuesday, March 5, he mentioned speaking with Travis' manager, André Eanes, during the Cleveland Cavaliers game that Travis and his brother, Jason Kelce, attended.
Flannery shared his excitement about catching up with @dreeanes at the Cavs game. He praised @dreeanes for his work as the manager for Kelce and his basketball background from @SEHS_BASKETBALL. Flannery also mentioned that he will be heading to a Taylor Swift concert in Singapore the following day and wished @dreeanes safe travels.
In February, it was confirmed that Travis would be joining Taylor Swift on her Australian tour after the Super Bowl. An insider revealed that Travis and Taylor are happy and excited to spend more time together on tour.
Days later, the couple were seen strolling hand in hand at a zoo in Sydney.
Before heading to Australia, Travis accompanied Swift to Argentina. In November 2023, Swift made a cute change to the lyrics of "Karma" during a performance. Instead of saying, “Karma is the guy on the screen,” she lovingly referred to Travis by saying, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs.” She did the same lyric change in Sydney.
Swift has shown her support for Travis by attending his professional achievements. She even flew from Japan to Las Vegas to watch the Chiefs win Super Bowl LVIII against the San Francisco 49ers.
