Taylor Swift 'shocked' by Travis Kelce at final Eras Tour shows
by Brian Marks For Dailymail.com · Mail OnlineTaylor Swift was reportedly 'shocked' that her boyfriend Travis Kelce was able to join her at her second-to-last Eras Tour show in the US.
The 34-year-old pop superstar was busy performing to the adoring crowd on Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis when the 35-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end arrived to catch the concert.
Videos from the evening show the NFL star in the crowd catching up with Taylor's mother Andrea, 66, and her brother Austin, 32.
'Andrea and Austin didn’t think Travis was going to be able to make it,' a source told Page Six. 'They were shocked when he showed up.'
The shows likely had special significance to Taylor, as her three nights in Indianapolis over the weekend are her last US shows on her whirlwind Eras Tour.

The blockbuster tour — which is now the highest-grossing tour in history and the first to gross over $1 billion — began back in March of 2023 in Glendale, Arizona.
The last nine concerts will conclude the tour in Canada, with six shows in Toronto followed by a final three in Vancouver.
'It was an amazing surprise and they were thrilled he was able to be there for such an important occasion,' the source said of Taylor's mother and brother.
Even in the grainy fan-shot footage, the reunion with Travis was obviously a joyous one, as he wrapped Austin in an affectionate hug, while Austin was seen giving Travis some hearty pats on the back.
Andrea's jaw-dropped open when she saw the Chiefs star, and they were later seen dancing together to Taylor's music.
The source added that Travis felt it was 'really important' to make it to at least one of Taylor's final US shows.
However, it wasn't clear at first if it would even be possible for him to attend, no matter how much he wanted to.
'Travis had practice earlier that day and he wasn’t even sure if he was going to be able to make it,' the insider said.

'It was a last-minute decision,' they continued. 'Thankfully, he was able to get out of practice on time and show up.'
Taylor's body language indicated that she was over the moon to see Travis.
Fan video shot after the concert shows the Blank Space singer holding hands with her boyfriend as they left Lucas Oil Stadium.
Now she seems to be returning the favor.
The songstress was spotted on Monday as she arrived at Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium to cheer on Travis and his teammates.
There was previously speculation that Taylor — who previously capped off a poorly reviewed debate performance from former Donald Trump by publicly endorsing his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris — might attend Harris' final rally in Pennsylvania on Monday, ahead of Tuesday election.
However, according to NBC News' Garrett Haake, Taylor wasn't on the list of performers for the rally, indicating that she planned to support Travis instead.
Although Taylor's Eras Tour has taken her around the globe, fans had trouble giving up the possibility of seeing any more of her concerts for some time.
On the Eras Tour Instagram page, fans have recently been melting down now that she is totally done with US shows.
'JUST SOBBING NOW THAT THE FINAL US SHOW OF THE ERAS TOUR IS OVER,' one user moaned on X (formerly Twitter).
During her final performance, Taylor took a moment from the stage to marvel that she was playing her last Eras Tour show in the US.
'The fact that you guys have turned this tour into what it is, it's why we added so many shows,' she gushed. 'It's why this tour's been so long. It's why we wanted to come back through America. We weren't done yet.'
