Travis Kelce's weekend in Argentina to see Taylor Swift's Eras tour led to the couple’s first public kiss and a special lyric change just for the NFL star.
While Travis watched the November 11 show from the VIP tent with Taylor’s dad, Scott Swift, she gave him a shoutout by changing the lyrics to her song “Karma” on stage.
“Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me,” Taylor sang with a smirk. Following the show, Taylor was filmed running into Travis’ arms and kissing him as he waited patiently for the Grammy winner to walk off stage.

The tight end was seated next to Patrick, who was honored with the Founder’s Award from the Black College Football Hall of Fame for his continued support of historically black colleges.
The 15 and the Mahomies Foundation, which Patrick founded in 2019, is “dedicated to improving the lives of children” by supporting “initiatives that focus on health, wellness, communities in need of resources and other charitable causes,” according to its website.

“I love a rain show but I’m never going to endanger my fans or my fellow performers and crew,” Taylor shared on social media November 10. “We’ve rescheduled tonight’s Buenos Aires show for Sunday due to the weather being so truly chaotic it would be unsafe to try and put on this concert. Good news is I get to stay in Argentina longer!!”

When discussing how Travis plans to spend his week off from playing football, Jason asked if his younger brother had any plans to travel.
"Not really," Travis answered. "I might just say f–k it and just go somewhere nice, I don't know. My skin's getting real pale so I've got to go somewhere sunny." Travis added that he might go "closer to the equator."
"South of the equator?" Jason quipped, to which Travis replied by laughing.
