Dublin, Ireland – Despite NFL player Travis Kelce’s absence from Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour show in Dublin, the singer still gave a few nods to her boyfriend during her performance. Swift playfully reenacted Kelce’s signature archer pose while performing “Midnight Rain,” a gesture seemingly affirming their relationship to the crowd at Aviva Stadium. Video footage from a fan captured Swift pretending to use a bow and arrow, coinciding with the lyric, “And he never thinks of me / Except when I’m on TV.”
Kelce, a three-time Super Bowl champion, has been known to hit the famed pose as he runs through the tunnel at Arrowhead Stadium on game days. He explained the inspiration behind his signature pose on an episode of his “New Heights” podcast, emphasizing the importance of dreaming big and shooting for the stars.
During the Dublin show, Swift also wore a special piece of jewelry that featured a sweet nod to Kelce – a Tiffany T Diamond Wire Ring with a duo of diamond-dotted Ts, representing the couple’s initials. This wasn’t the first time Swift referenced her boyfriend during her tour, as she previously brought Kelce on stage during her London performance for a skit involving the song “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”
The couple’s appearance sent fans into a frenzy, with Kelce dressed in a black suit and Swift in a long white dress. Another fan video from the London show captured Swift performing the same archer pose, showcasing the subtle but significant nods to her boyfriend throughout her tour. Despite Kelce’s absence at the Dublin show, the singer’s gestures and actions on stage continued to fuel speculation about the status of their relationship.
