A lip-reader believes they know exactly what Travis Kelce said to Taylor Swift while making his shock on-stage cameo appearance.
Earlier this summer, ‘Fortnight’ singer Taylor Swift, 34, finally brought her successful Eras Tour to Europe.
Throughout the run, she played iconic venues such as Amsterdam’s Johan Cruyff Arena and Volksparkstadion in Hamburg as well as a record-breaking eight sold-out evenings at Wembley Stadium. Amid her show on June 23, fans packed into the London venue erupted into cheers when they realised Swift’s 34-year-old boyfriend Travis Kelce had popped up for a surprise performance.
He appeared on stage during the Tortured Poets Department era interlude, taking place after ‘The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived’.
Alongside dancers Kameron Saunders and Jan Ravnik, Kelce worked to ‘wake up’ the sleepy star in a moment inspired by silent movies of the past.
During the interlude, he tried talking and applying blush to the ‘Bad Blood’ hitmaker before she eventually launched into ‘I Can Do It With A Broken Heart’. While the pair’s conversation on stage was inaudible, a lip reader believes they know exactly what was said during the iconic exchange.
Taking to Instagram, a user known as @tismejackie, claimed the Kansas City Chiefs tight end had told Swift to ‘wake up!’ as part of the act.
After pretending to faint on stage from exertion, the Pennsylvanian-born star responded: “I don’t want to!” “You get back out there,” the lip reader claimed the sportsman said while ignoring Swift’s ongoing protests.
The playful back and forth continued before the Amsterdam actor finally ‘woke up’ and proceeded to strut down the runway.

The content creator also wrote in her post’s description that ‘lip reading is not a reliable form of communication’, adding: “All statements are alleged.” Tyla has contacted Taylor and Travis’ reps for comment. Kelce later confessed that he was the driving force behind his Eras Tour debut.
Taking to the popular New Heights podcast he shares with brother Jason Kelce, 36, the American football star said: “It’s very unlike me. I don’t love going on stages.
“I initially mentioned it to Tay but was like, ‘How funny would it be if I rolled out on one of the bikes for the 1989 era?’” “She started laughing and was like, ‘Would you seriously be up for doing something like that?’”
He continued: “I was just like, ‘What? I would love to do that, are you kidding me?’ I’ve seen the show enough. Might as well put me to work here.” Kelce added that he had a ‘blast’ working with Saunders and Ravnik as well as his girlfriend, before stating: “Who knows, might not be the last time!”
Swift’s European leg of the Eras Tour may have concluded, but the 14-time Grammy Award winner still has a multitude of dates left to fulfil.
She will return to the stage on 18 October, taking over Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium for three evenings (18, 19 and 20) before moving to New Orleans (October 25, 26 and 27) and Indianapolis.
