Taylor Swift is truly a mastermind, as seen in her “So High School” Eras Tour routine that is filled with references to Travis Kelce.
During her concert on Thursday, May 9, the 34-year-old singer included a snippet of “So High School,” a song by Tortured Poets Department that seems to mention Kelce and their love story. This song followed her performance of “But Daddy I Love Him,” as Swift and her backup dancers transitioned from center stage to a set of stadium-sized bleachers.
Swift’s fans have noticed that the dancers’ poses at a recent performance matched the reactions the pop star had at Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs NFL games. A fan-made graphic showed each performer taking on a pose of Swift’s.
One dancer at the front pointed straight ahead, possibly imitating Swift pointing at Kelce during the Super Bowl in February. Another dancer leaned forward, resting a hand on his chin, a move Swift had made at a Chiefs vs. Packers away game in 2023.
Some fans also noticed that two dancers from Swift's performance seemed to share a hug, similar to how she embraced Brittany Mahomes (Patrick Mahomes' wife) during several home games last autumn.

Fans noticed more football elements in the “So High School” set-up. The stadium lights resembled those in a sports venue. Swift and her dancers’ choreography seemed to be inspired by Kelce’s touchdown dances and the “swag surfing” routine that Chiefs fans do to pump up the players. Notably, Swift even joined in on the “swag surfing” with Brittany during a January playoff game.
Kelce has been showing his support for Swift as she started her European tour. He is currently in Los Angeles filming the FX show Grotesquerie. Kelce left a comment on Swift's guitarist Paul Sidoti's Instagram post, saying "LFG!" in excitement for the Eras Tour shows to resume.
Swift and Kelce have been in a relationship since the summer of 2023, often showing support for each other's careers. Swift has been seen at 13 of Kelce's NFL games, while Kelce has attended multiple Eras concerts during his NFL offseason.

"When a relationship is public, it means we support each other, enjoy being together, and don't mind others being around," Swift shared with TIME in her 2023 Person of the Year feature. "On the contrary, keeping a relationship private requires a lot of effort to hide it from everyone. We are just happy for each other."
Kelce has hinted that he intends to join Swift at upcoming Eras Tour concerts in Europe and the United Kingdom during the summer. The North American shows will continue in October.
