Travis Kelce wrote his fiancée Taylor Swift a very romantic letter for her to open ahead of the last leg of her Eras Tour shows.
In scenes captured for the last two episodes of her Disney+ documentary series The End of an Era which were released on Tuesday, the singer, 36, is seen embarking on the final leg of the tour in Canada.
One scene from the fifth episode shows her in her dressing room before a show in Toronto where she gets a surprise note from the NFL star.
Taylor and Travis met in 2023 after he went to one of her shows in Kansas City and made a friendship bracelet for her with his number on it.
Their respective teams then set them up on a date and the rest is history – with the pair getting engaged this August.
The sweet note from Travis read: ‘There are so many unbelievable memories on this tour but my favourite one is seeing you in concert for the first time – being mesmerised by a woman who doesn’t even know me yet.

‘Thank you to Robert (from Taylor’s tour management team) for making you stop through Kansas City. That night in KC was the beginning of me meeting the love of my life…’
The tour featured 149 shows across five continents. It concluded in December 2024, making it the first tour ever to gross over $2 billion and the highest-grossing tour in history.
It comes after in episode four of the docuseries she candid about heartbreak on the Eras Tour and told how her mom and Travis helped turn her luck around after she thought she’d never meet anyone again.
She said that while the worldwide tour (March 2023–December 2024) kept her going, her personal life was anything but easy.
‘There were points in this tour when the tour was really the only thing that was really keeping me going in my life,’ she admitted.
‘But there were never points in the tour where I thought, ‘Oh, you know what? I want to quit the tour ’cause the tour’s hard.’ No, my personal life was hard,’ she continued. ‘I went through two breakups on the first half of this tour, and that’s a lot of breakups actually.’
Fans immediately pegged her comments as a nod to her split from British actor Joe Alwyn, 34, after more than six years together, and The 1975 frontman Matty Healy, whom she briefly dated after the Alwyn split.
She punctuated the revelation with a grin and a savage line: ‘Men will let you down, the Eras Tour never will.’

Reiterating just how much the Eras Tour kept her afloat, Swift explained, ‘The show was what gave me purpose and was what I could use to get me out of bed.
‘So, the tour has never been the hard thing in my life. The tour has been the thing that has allowed me to find purpose outside of the s*** that was going wrong in my life.’
She also revealed that writing her 11th album, The Tortured Poets Department, helped her process those tough times.
‘Tortured Poets album is like this purge of… just, like, everything, everything bad that I felt for two years. It was a really rough time in my life, so the songs reflect that.
‘Feeling like I’m not a person, I’m just this like big conglomerate that no one sees as a real human being and like especially not men that I date.
‘And in the whole process just being like… nothing, nothing works. There’s no one for me in the world.’
Even amid heartbreak, the tour unexpectedly set the stage for her relationship with now-fiancé Kelce.
In the docuseries, Taylor explains how her mom, Andrea Swift, 67, spotted headlines from Kelce’s New Heights podcast, in which the 36-year-old football star said he wanted to give Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number.
Andrea immediately called a cousin – the family’s ‘resident expert on the Kansas City Chiefs’ – who confirmed Kelce was ‘the nicest guy’ and genuinely devoted to his mom.
Bells went off in Andrea’s head as she considered how to get her daughter to meet him.

Taylor recalled the conversation: ‘So, you call me up with this tone of like, ‘Hey so I know you’re not going to react well to this. But there’s a guy…,” with her mom cutting in, ‘He’s really cute.’
Taylor added, ‘You said something to the effect of like you gotta start doing something different.’
She wrapped up the episode with a laugh: ‘If you ever would have ever told me that the most meaningful relationship I would ever have would start with a man saying he was ‘butt hurt’ that I didn’t want to meet him, unbelievable.’
The couple went public in September 2023 and announced their engagement in August 2024.
