Travis Kelce is showing his love for Taylor Swift at Kelce Jam, blending music, sports, and a bit of romance into an unforgettable event.
The 34-year-old tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs hosted the second year of his music festival this weekend on Saturday, May 18, in Kansas City, featuring performances by Lil Wayne, Diplo, and 2 Chainz. The event brought together fans of both music and football, creating a vibrant atmosphere that underscored Kelce’s passion for entertainment.
Speaking exclusively with PEOPLE at the event, Kelce revealed his not-so-surprising favorite song off of girlfriend Taylor Swift’s latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” “I might be a little biased to ‘So High School,’ ” the athlete said, referring to Swift’s song that is speculated to be about him. This track has quickly become a favorite among fans of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, who have been eager to spot any personal references in her music.
As for hosting his event once again, Kelce said, “I’m so fired up. We got Lil Wayne, we got 2 Chainz — two of my favorite rap artists in the game since I believe I was in high school — and we got Diplo about to take it over in between the two sets. So it’s just gonna be a whole bunch of fun.” Kelce Jam has become a staple in Kansas City’s entertainment scene, and this year’s lineup did not disappoint, drawing in crowds who are as passionate about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce as they are about the music.
Throughout the day, Kelce was spotted hanging around the festival, interacting with fans, and enjoying food from some local Kansas City restaurants present at the event. His approachable demeanor and genuine enthusiasm made the event even more special for attendees, many of whom are fans of both Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. The festival, hosted at Kansas City’s Azura Amphitheater and presented by Jim Beam, included merch areas powered by denim brand Lee and free wings from Wing Stop, adding to the overall festive vibe.
Kelce’s Chiefs teammates, including Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, were also in attendance, showing their support for Kelce Jam and enjoying the performances. The camaraderie among the players and their significant others highlighted the close-knit nature of the team and their shared interests outside of football, including their admiration for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
Kelce’s attendance at the festival came after he was recently spotted enjoying Lake Como, Italy, with Swift, 34, after she finished up a series of shows in Paris for the Eras Tour, which Kelce attended. The couple looked cute and close during their northern Italian getaway, walking through the streets with arms around each other, enjoying lakeside dinners, and even sharing a few smooches on a romantic boat ride in the rain. Their relationship has been the subject of much public interest, and fans of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were thrilled to see them enjoying time together.
Swift’s Eras Tour will continue with three shows in Stockholm from May 17 to 19, and she’ll keep performing in Europe through August, before launching the second North American leg in November. As she continues to captivate audiences worldwide, the connection between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce remains a charming subplot, adding a touch of romance to the pop culture narrative. Their story is a testament to how love can flourish amidst the hectic schedules of two incredibly successful individuals, bringing joy to fans around the globe.
