On Dec. 8 in Vancouver, Taylor Swift concluded her hugely successful “Eras Tour.” Swift’s boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, raved about Swift and the tour on his podcast “New Heights” this week.
Travis Kelce Raves About Taylor Swift and the ‘Eras Tour’
On this week’s episode of “New Heights,” Kelce raved about Swift and her tour.
“Shout out to Tay, the unbelievable ‘Eras Tour’ has officially come to an end. It was almost two years…” Kelce said. “It’s insane. Absolutely insane. Over 10 million people in the stands over the course of it, cumulatively.
“Shout out to everyone that was a part of that show. Obviously, it’s her music and her tour and everything, but that was a full production, man. It was the best tour in the world because of a lot of people, but mostly because of Taylor.”
The 149-show “Eras Tour” became the highest-grossing tour of all time, earning over $1 billion in revenue.
It also produced an extremely successful film (“Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour”), which brought in over $261.6 million globally, breaking the record for a concert film that was previously held by Michael Jackson’s “This Is It.”
The documentary also earned a nomination for the Golden Globes’ new Cinematic and Box Office Achievement prize.
Due in part to the success of the “Eras Tour,” Swift is now a billionaire. Her net worth has skyrocketed in recent years, from $550 million in 2020 to $740 million at the start of 2023 to $1.6 billion as 2024 comes to an end.
Kelce attended a number of Swift’s performances in the United States and abroad, even appearing on stage in London. During the song “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” Kelce appeared in a suit and top hat, carrying Swift across the stage. After the performance, Kelce shared what was on his mind the entire time he was on stage.
“The one thing I told myself is do not drop the baby,” Kelce said. “Do not drop Taylor on your way over to this damn couch. I was gonna do some, like, some extra stuff… But the golden rule was do not drop Taylor. Get her to the couch safe, hold onto the baby… Coach (Eric) Bieniemy always used to say that ball has our dreams, goals, and aspirations. You do not drop that ball.
“Shout out to Tay for letting me jump on the stage with her. Who knows? Might not be the last time.”
