Taylor Swift has been in Sydney, Australia this week, as she prepares to play four nights in a row at Accor Stadium starting on Friday. Taylor has been seen out and about, enjoying her downtime ahead of her Eras concerts – she went out to dinner with Sabrina Carpenter, and she’s been seen around the city. People wondered whether Travis Kelce would ever make it to Australia to spend time with his lady. Well, he arrived! He flew in yesterday and they’ve already been seen at the Sydney Zoo (the photos in this post).
Travis Kelce has landed in Sydney ahead of Taylor Swift’s next Eras Tour performances this weekend. Kelce, 34, is officially on the ground in the Emerald City according to local 9News and Channel 7’s The Morning Show, which both captured photos of the NFL star getting off a private plane.
The tight end flew to Australia following a trip this week to Las Vegas to play golf after he and the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl there earlier this month. Swift, also 34, will perform four concerts at the Accor Stadium in Sydney from Feb. 23 through Feb. 26 before heading to Singapore for the next stop of her tour on March 2.
Kelce is looking forward to jetting around the world to support Swift this summer, a source recently told PEOPLE. The NFL star plans to support Swift during the offseason come after the “Love Story” singer showed up for 13 of his games this season with the Chiefs, and cheered as he and the team went on to win their third Super Bowl title in five years.
The insider told PEOPLE Kelce and Swift “are making plans for the summer and are excited to travel together in Europe when Taylor takes her tour there.”
“Football is everything to him. He lives and breathes it. But he’s ready for some downtime now and to show up for Taylor the way she has for him,” another source close to the Kelce family said.
Swift is scheduled to kick off the European leg of her Eras Tour performances on May 9 in Paris and will play shows throughout the continent until late August, around the time the next NFL season begins again.
It will be interesting to see just how much time Travis spends road-dogging with Taylor. Taylor doesn’t party like a rock star most of the time, especially with this tour. She needs to protect her voice and rest her body in-between concert dates, but I would imagine that she and Travis can still spend quality time together. I’m actually looking forward to seeing how the International Swifties react to Travis singing along in the VIP section of her concerts.
Taylor Swift is back at Sydney Zoo – this time arm in arm with boyfriend Travis Kelce.
Fresh off a Super Bowl victory, Kelce arrived down under on a private jet earlier today ahead of the Eras Tour at Accor Stadium this weekend. #9News

The more MAGA hate this lady, the more I like her.
(They’re really going at her hard on some social media).
Well to be fair a lot of the grief he was getting on here 3 days ago had lost it as well
He did the same thing in Nov . Here he was playing in charity golf game on Monday then flew out with Ross while in Nov he attended Pat’s Foundation Gala dinner before he flew out
He? I was talking about Taylor.
I think you might be replying to the wrong comment 🙂
He gets if from from the MAGA lot as well
Knelt with Kap , plugged Bud Light and Phizer and also was for Biden
The right hate him as much as her
And once again down thread it’s ‘he is a thick Football player uugh’ . He was on the Deans List at U Cin and were any of the Brit Boys even at a Tertiary level school
@Fortuona
Hiddleston is definitely an Oxbridge boy. No doubt about that.
I remember that Joe Alwyn went to university aswell as drama college.
Doubt Calvin Harris or Harry Styles went to any college at all though as musicians tend to skip that step and go straight to work.
Same here, the more the MAGAs come after her, the more I like her and cheer her on.
I like them together and he is doing all the right things but I will be a negative nellie and say his behavior after the super bowl is not what I expect Taylor to be with in the long run. I understand the endorphins and testosterone paired with the high of the win of the superbowl added to this and well, he is a football player……I just don’t see her with this type for long. I could be wrong and I don’t know either of them. I see her with a more laid back intellectual. And Travis could be very very much the intellectual but I just don’t see this lasting the long run.
I agree. I’ve listened to a little bit of his podcast with his brother, and they seem like authentically nice, funny guys-but they’re football players. It does seem like ultimately she’d pick someone a little more intellectual. But yeah-maybe outside of when he’s hanging out shooting the crap with his bro he has a deeper side.
The narrative that he isn’t smart enough for her is kind of gross, not going to lie.
She’s dated plenty of smart guys and ultimately the relationships always ended, maybe she likes that Travis offers something different.
Personally, I like being with someone who’s really smart. But you’re right-maybe she doesn’t care about that.
@MaryContrary, I fell on the floor laughing at your comment. ME TOO!
@Koots, I don’t think there is any ill will when we say he is not in her league intellect wise. Could we be assuming he is a “dumb jock” ……sure, but the way he acted and spoke gives me those vibes. Like I said, it could have been all the adrenaline. She is a mover and a shaker and he is not. I hope he proves me wrong because I like them together.
After watching the Netflix documentary, Quarterback, I’m much more knowledgeable and impressed than I was previously by the level of intelligence, never mind the hard work, it takes for an athlete to be successful at that level.
As for Travis in particular, this is one of the big projects in KC he developed, participates in, and his foundation supports. It might change your mind about what he has to offer.

This is the actual 2021 interview with Kelce that’s linked to the article. It’s additional insight (outside of the New Heights podcast) into what’s important to him. I suspect he and Taylor are better matched than you think.

What did I miss? Did he do something bad after the Superbowl? I’m not even a fan of his or her for that matter, but the assumption of intelligence shows how unintelligent some of you all are.
@girl_ninja – if we can admonish Kate and Will on their intelligence – it has been done – we can do it about others. It’s a gossip blog. Strickly speaking on his behavior see after the game (and during if you take into account his lack of self control with what he did to his coach).
Like I said, I hope he proves me wrong.
@Seraphina Kate and Will, my issue with them is that they’re racist trash. I’m asking about what happened after the game? I don’t know what happened. I do think it was shitty the way he conducted himself with Andy Reid during the game. I watch football and I’d never seen him behave that way. Travis doesn’t have to prove anything to anyone…
And yes, I do know that this is a gossip blog.
@girl_ninja- I believe Seraphina is referring to the Superbowl parade where he was drunk & sang Friends in low places. Or maybe him singing Viva Las Vegas afterwards…who knows. Or maybe Travis going out to dinner after the shooting. I’m not sure how any of that measures your intelligence.
He didn’t do anything bad after the Super Bowl. Some people were turned off as he was blackout drunk at the Chiefs victory parade which….he’s just won the biggest prize in his field after 7 months of gruelling work and putting his body through the absolute wringer with no break, so obviously he was going to party hard. But yeah, he and the rest of his team were wasted and some people thought Taylor wouldn’t like it (although we know that Taylor herself loves a drink and actually had to be held up by Travis at the end of the night when leaving their Super Bowl after-party).
There was also a nothingburger of a story because TMZ posted pictures of Travis going to a team dinner and taking selfies with law enforcement after someone was tragically shot at the parade and so used that as an opportunity to say he was negative PR for Taylor. None of this would be an issue for Taylor imo.
Why does everyone assume Travis isn’t intellectual? One of these two people graduated from college, and it wasn’t Taylor.
Exactly.
@FancyPants
But he was there on a sports scholarship.
If this isn’t true love I don’t know what is. Travis didn’t have to travel half-way around the world to see her. Taylor must be so busy rehearsing for her concerts every night that is only so much she can entertain him. I just love this two and I hope they get married and make beautiful children before they turn 40.
Why? What happens at 40? Does Taylor or Travis become worthless? Unworthy? Not desirable?
It becomes a lot harder to have children after 40, even with IVF.
The pressure for people to marry and reproduce before 40 is gross and outdated. Plenty of people start families in their 40s. And, it’s none of your business when people are going to have kids. You don’t know if she’s frozen eggs, has infertility struggles (which can happen at any age), or whether she even wants kids. As someone who’s done IVF twice and is currently 28 weeks pregnant at 40, I’m grateful no one in my life was pushing this dialogue as I went through my fertility journey.
That isn’t necessarily true, everyone is different. Some people have no issue and either way it’s a twisted comment for lolo to make to constant wish for them to be married and have kids before 40 as if being 40 is some horrific thing.
@Lisa
I know right? Feels like we’re back in the 1950s sometimes.
This 1950s shit they want from me.
@Lolo86llf
Taylor has never expressed any interest in getting married or having children.
The wall to wall coverage from the Sydney media is something else. Sending helicopters to track them at the zoo, publishing pictures of Travis (captured via drone) in her hotel room? Disgusting behavior really.
Unfortunately Australia is the home of Rupert Murdoch so there basically are no media boundaries or limits. This happens every time Taylor is in Australia same as the Royals or any other A++ celebrity they normally don’t have access to. It does put in perspective the NFL losing their minds when they suddenly unexpectedly had access to Taylor for the first time. They aren’t the only ones that go too far when Taylor is in their presence.
I’m kinda okay with the zoo coverage because that’s a public area but I think they’ve really crossed the line with sending the drones to take pics. I also think this may have been the first time during this tour that her hotel whereabouts were published?
I’ve never seen this level of hysteria. There’s plenty of times royals have been here and no one cared, except Harry and Meghan. Pink is wandering around unbothered mostly. I’ve come across genuine Hollywood A Listers going to pilates and no one cared. Taylor has generated next level, and according to academics not since the Beatles was it like this. She was here in 18 and it wasn’t like this. We’re not THAT parochial these days. Remember that wedding she went to and the place was swarmed?
Mind you it’s Feb, a nothing month, it’s still really hot. People like a distraction.. Plus Murdoch media of course.
The zoo is public so while creepy seems fair, but the hotel room thing is horrifying, why they felt the need to do that I’ll never know.
I’m still salty about the time she flew back to NYC for a single day between Brazil shows. Australia is far enough that couldnt do that thankfully.
I think you are mistaken. She never did fly back. There were just rumors that she would between Rio and São Paolo and we don’t know if she had planned to, but then if I remember correctly one fan died and a concert was postponed due to heat, so she stayed put. Maybe someone with more Swift knowledge can confirm, that’s just what I seem to remember from on here. But absolutely with you that their use of private jets as if the climate crisis just does not exist, leaves me not just salty but upset
Ok, correction: She had an Argentina show on Nov 12th, was in NYC Nov 13, and her first Brazil show was Nov 17.
I think they are adorable together and way too many people are deranged about them in way that I haven’t seen since Harry and Meghan.
I think the funny thing about the Harry and Meghan derangement parallel is because a lot of the story elements are the same: nationally beloved set of brothers, older brother married to a relative normie with kids, younger brother who many assumed would be an eternal bachelor then gets together with glamorous woman in showbusiness. The main difference, of course, is that the Kelces are super emotionally healthy and have figured out how to use the Taylor press coverage to boost all their images rather than let jealousy tear the family apart. Also I get the sense that Jason would rather die than let the right wing embrace him as the anti-Travis.
That’s not the only parallel, when his plane was coming into land in Sydney I had a notification on my phone and they interrupted the morning TV programs to show the plane flying in and him disembarking like they do for a royal tour. Or head of state I was trying to remember when there was this level of collective excitement in Sydney and I think it was when Harry & Meghan had their Royal Tour during the Invictis games.
So there you have it, Australia is treating this like a Royal visit.
Those pictures are really creepy. Give them some privacy!
They are no more or no less creepy than any other paparazzi pictures.
Photographing someone inside a hotel room? With a drone through a shut window? Absolutely more creepy than your average pap photo! Is that even legal? I would feel so invaded in my private space, I mean in your hotel room, you kiss, walk around in a towel etc. Not thinking that someone will take pictures through the (probably reflective) window, especially when high up and not facing another building of course you would assume you have privacy inside a room.
All I am seeing are two people walking at the zoo.
@Ameerah: Fina is referring to the pictures of Travis staring outside his hotel window and being photographed. Those pictures weren’t included in this article but many media outlets have published them which you can easily find if you search for them. This website tends to avoid posting the more invasive pap pictures.
@VilleRose I wouldn’t search for those types of pics. Doing so only contributes to the very thing Fina is railing against. If those pics exist – I advise not to search or click on them. Doing so merely makes them more valuable.
Were you alive between 2000 and 2010? These aren’t even that bad. They’re in a public place—they’re not exactly hiding.
Aniston got papped topless in her own damn yard by a a guy using a telephoto lens. This is not that.
Exactly
@Kitten
So true!
Also, this pair don’t want privacy. They wouldn’t be wearing the faces off each other in the middle of the Superb Owl if they did.
I think if anyone can understand the physical demands of her tour it’s Travis. I admit to be a skeptic in the long run but I think right now they are super solid. When she kept wearing the Chiefs gear I thought yeah, right now she’s proud and got it bad.
I’m glad he cleaned up the beard. I think he looks more handsome with the scruff over full blown mountain man beard.
I wonder if this is Travis’s first time to Australia? I have always wanted to travel there. I’m glad she’s found someone as extra as her and who isn’t afraid to do outings with her. I don’t know if they’ll last but if he sticks around for the majority of her tour during his off-season, I would say it’s the real deal. I hope he has a great time!
and if your first time is flying private to Australia, what a let down when you fly commerical the next time. Travis must be hella spoiled by Taylor’s jet lol.
@VilleRose
I’d say this will absolutely be a novelty trip for him.
He’s used to no-one knowing who he is once he sets foot outside the U.S. This will be a first for him.
I’m rooting for them. I think they have a shared interest in philanthropy and in family time. So their values probably match up.
@QuiteContrary
“a shared interest in philanthropy and in family time”
lol they have a shared interest in publicity and merchandise.
