Travis Kelce wrote a heartfelt letter to the “love of [his] life,” Taylor Swift, before her final Eras Tour shows.
The emotional moment Swift read the letter aloud backstage, ahead of her Vancouver performance on Dec. 6, 2024, was shown during episode six of her “End of an Era” docuseries.
“So many unbelievable memories on this tour, but my favorite one is seeing you in concert for the first time,” the letter began.
The pop star read the next line with a giggle, “Being mesmerized and swept off my feet by a woman who doesn’t even know me.”
“I selfishly say thank you for creating this legendary tour, and to [tour manager] Robert [Allen] for making you stop through Kansas City, Mo. That night in KC was the beginning of me meeting the love of my life,” Kelce’s letter concluded.
The NFL star was referring to the moment he attended the Eras Tour at Arrowhead Stadium on July 8, 2023, and famously tried — and failed — to give the singer a friendship bracelet with his number on it.
He later went on his “New Heights” podcast to tell his listeners he was upset because she “didn’t want to meet” him.
Despite them missing a connection at that show, the pair began quietly “hanging out” two months later and have been a power couple ever since.
The docuseries highlights how the three-time Super Bowl winner was a huge source of emotional support for Swift throughout her grueling tour.
This was particularly shown when he was the first call she made after her return to the stage in London days after a failed terrorist attack at Austria’s Ernst Happel Stadium, where she was supposed to perform.

“Baby, it’s like the crowd knew that I needed a pick-me-up. They were – when I walked out on stage, they were wilder than I’ve ever seen,” she gushed, as he let her know that he could hear the joy in her voice.
“I’m so happy to be back to doing this in a functional way. Like, I was so happy that I thought I was going to forget how to play guitar and sing,” she added.
The couple has publicly supported each other in their respective careers, a dynamic that the Grammy winner gushed about during episode four of the docuseries.
In the episode, Swift explained how the tight end is the “right fit” for her because their “passions coexist and actually fuel each other.”
“Ultimately we love cheering each other on,” the songstress added. “That’s rad.”
She even brought the athlete out as a surprise guest during the London stop of her Eras Tour, because according to her, “Travis is like a real yes guy in terms of life itself. He’s just up for anything.”
“The End of an Era” is available to stream on Disney+.
