Taylor Swift couldn't attend the much-anticipated face-off between Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce, but she made sure to make up for it by delivering an incredible performance for her Brazilian admirers. In a social media clip, Swift, 33, was seen giving her all on stage in Rio de Janeiro on Monday, November 20, despite wearing a broken boot. As she greeted her fans, the pop sensation gracefully glided around like a live Barbie doll on her tiptoes, with one of her glitter boots lacking its heel.
Swift has been performing at Estádio Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro as part of her Eras Tour's international leg. She had to extend her stay in Brazil unexpectedly due to rescheduling her show from Saturday, November 18, to Monday because of a massive heatwave in the country.
Prior to the rescheduling, the pop star had plans to attend the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Philadelphia Eagles game on Monday night. This game marked the first time the Kelce brothers, Travis (34) and Jason (36), faced each other this season since the Chiefs defeated the Eagles earlier this year at Super Bowl LVII. However, due to the change in her schedule, Swift couldn't make it back to Kansas City in time for the game.
Swift has been a supportive presence for Travis during four previous games, first showing her support for the Chiefs in September. Since then, she has had the opportunity to meet and spend time with Travis' parents, Donna and Ed Kelce. However, Swift has yet to publicly connect with Jason, his wife Kylie Kelce, and their three daughters, Wyatt (4), Elliotte (2), and Bennett (9 months).
On the other hand, Travis formed a strong friendship with Swift's father, Scott Swift, during his trip to Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he attended her Eras Tour show on November 11. Scott, a devoted Eagles fan, was seen wearing a Chiefs lanyard while enjoying the concert from the VIP tent alongside Travis.
In the latest episode of the "New Heights" podcast, aired on Wednesday, November 15, Travis jokingly claimed that he has successfully brought someone over to the Chiefs fandom, stating, "Got him over to the good side, baby." He further revealed that he is slowly but surely convincing the Swifts, one member at a time, to become fans of the Chiefs.
Jason expressed his displeasure with Scott, questioning their actions. "What's going on here?" he taunted. "Are you really going to let this man's incredibly attractive appearance and his connection with your daughter influence you to abandon your long-standing loyalty, Scott? It's absurd."
Travis chuckled in response, offering an explanation. "Perhaps I managed to sway him over dinner the previous night when I first met him... Or maybe it was something else. Who knows?"
Despite their busy schedules, Taylor and Travis have devised a plan to maintain their long-distance relationship. Taylor will be embarking on the final leg of her Eras Tour in São Paulo from Friday, November 24 to Sunday, November 26. Following a two-month break, the international leg will recommence in Tokyo in February. According to a source, Travis and Taylor are a genuine couple who prioritize spending quality time together and have established a strong connection. They have made elaborate arrangements to stay connected while she tours and he attends to his sporting commitments.
