Taylor recently wrapped her Eras Tour
Earlier in the week, Swift made a surprise visit to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, where she spent time with pediatric patients. The visit took place on December 13, just a day before her 35th birthday. While there, Swift engaged in conversations with the patients, filmed TikToks, posed for selfies, and handed out autographed Eras Tour merchandise.
The hospital’s official X (formerly Twitter) account shared their excitement about the visit, stating, “We can’t shake it off — the excitement, smiles, and laughter that filled our halls yesterday as @taylorswift13 visited patients in Kansas City. Thank you and happy birthday from all your fans at Children’s Mercy!”
Taylor Swift’s Record-Breaking Eras Tour and New Album Success
Swift wrapped up her record-breaking Eras Tour earlier this month with a series of shows in Toronto and Vancouver. The Canadian concerts were particularly significant as they marked the first performances following the release of her album The Tortured Poets Department, which received six Grammy nominations.
On stage during the November 2024 shows, Swift expressed her gratitude for the album’s success. “You guys did something so amazing over the course of the last few months [with] what you did with embracing Tortured Poets Department,” she told the crowd. “It’s truly blown my mind. It’s really emotional for me because this album; I wrote it during the Eras Tour.”
Swift continued, “I wrote the album, made the album — all trying to keep it a secret from you guys and then announced the album and was, basically, working really hard to secretly put together a new chapter in the Eras Tour of Tortured Poets Department and we wanted to surprise you with it.”
A Strong Support System: Swift and Kelce’s Public Relationship
Despite missing Kelce’s latest game, Swift has been a visible and vocal supporter of her boyfriend’s football career. Since the couple began dating in the summer of 2023, Swift has become a regular attendee at Chiefs games, often sitting with Kelce’s friends and families during home games.
In a 2023 TIME magazine interview, Swift reflected on the public nature of her relationship with Kelce. “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 explained. “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 also shared her newfound love for football, joking, “Football is awesome, it turns out. I’ve been missing out my whole life.”
Travis Kelce Shows Support for Swift’s Career
Travis Kelce, the three-time Super Bowl-winning tight end for the Chiefs, has also shown his admiration for Swift’s career. In May 2024, he told Us Weekly, “Taylor’s shows are unbelievable. If you haven’t been to them, you got to try it.”
Kelce also showed his support for Swift at her second concert in Indianapolis last month, where he was spotted cheering for her from the audience.
Despite missing his latest game, it’s clear that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce continue to support one another both in their professional and personal lives. Swift’s birthday visit to Children’s Mercy Hospital and her public expressions of love for Kelce underscore their strong connection. Meanwhile, Kelce’s ongoing admiration for Swift’s career highlights the couple’s mutual respect and appreciation for each other.
