Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were living it up at Swift’s Eras-themed bash.
A photo of the couple partying together appeared on X on Wednesday, December 18. Swift, who wrapped her Eras Tour on December 8, one week before her 35th birthday, wore a flirty black dress and playfully tugged on the lapel of Kelce’s black tuxedo jacket. (A fellow partier stood next to them, clad in a pink suit and otherwise distracted.)
Meanwhile, Kelce, 35, flashed a huge grin at the camera. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end sported friendship bracelets on his wrist and a white bow tie around his neck. His dapper ensemble looked similar to the one that he wore on the Eras stage in June, when he made a memorable appearance during one of Swift’s concerts at London’s Wembley Stadium.
Earlier Wednesday, Brittany Mahomes shared a series of photos from the event, where guests paid homage to Swift’s blockbuster tour by stepping out in Swiftie-inspired getups.

Swift, 35, wrapped her Eras Tour on December 8, one week before her birthday and it appears that her friends were keen to celebrate both milestones. “My people,” Brittany Mahomes wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, December 18, sharing an […]
“My people,” Mahomes, 29, wrote via Instagram, unveiling a group snapshot with Swift, Lyndsay Bell and Ashley Avignone. Kelce was seen standing in the background of one of Brittany’s pics. He is teammates with Brittany and Lyndsay’s respective husbands, Patrick Mahomes and Blake Bell.
“I’ve never played more shows on tour or toured longer than I have with the Eras Tour,” Swift told the adoring audience at one of her December 6 show. “There are so many reasons for that, like, nobody’s backstage saying, ‘You gotta do more shows.’ I decided to make this tour the longest I’ve ever done because you have made this feel like so much more than a concert tour in so many ways.”

She continued, “I’ve been going on tour since I was 15 years old, and this has felt different in every single way. It’s felt like this escape to a planet where nothing but joy and passion and togetherness and camaraderie exists every night coming out to these crowds.”
That epic career milestone was also the beginning of Swift’s romance with Kelce, who showed up at her Kansas City show wearing a friendship bracelet. He wasn’t able to meet the Grammy-winning icon that night, but eventually, they connected and sparks flew in the summer of 2023. By the fall, Swift was attending Chiefs games and cheering Kelce on from the sidelines.
Travis Kelce may not have been in attendance at Taylor Swift’s final Eras Tour performance, but he had his girlfriend on his mind. Eagle-eyed fans spotted matching Christmas-themed decorations on the wall at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, December 8. One festive figure looked like Mrs. Claus with Swift’s face stuck on […]
“When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” Swift told TIME in her 2023 Person of the Year profile. “The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”
She continued, “Football is awesome, it turns out. I’ve been missing out my whole life.”
