The tortured poet formally known as Taylor Swift has put down her quill to make an appearance at a charity gala in Las Vegas with her athlete boyfriend, Travis Kelce. (And yes, footage of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end singing “Viva Las Vegas” was also captured during this trip.)
It’s been a whirlwind few months since Swift and Kelce last graced Sin City with their presence for the 58th Super Bowl. Over three months, the couple have utilised every second of their free schedule, visiting Sydney (where the Grammy Winner gave this Italian trattoria in Surry Hills her stamp of approval), the balmy beaches of The Bahamas and even Coachella.
Swift also released the surprise double album, The Tortured Poets Department, during the hiatus between legs of her Eras Tour. But in Vegas, Swift and Kelce appeared to make the most of their time in America’s adult playground. The couple frequented a local speakeasy bar with fellow midwest power couple Patrick and Brittany Mahomes between their attendance at the couple’s ‘15 And The Mahomies’ foundation gala. Mahomes, who is the latest freshly minted member of Swift’s girl squad, runs the charity with her Chiefs quarterback husband.

During the event, Kelce had his very own mic grab moment (though nothing like Kanye West’s at the 2009 MTV VMAs). “I was just talking to my significant other, and we might have one other alternate item that wasn’t on the docket,” he said to the crowd before adding, “Has anybody heard of the Eras Tour?”
Traylor partaking in the Eras Tour ticket resale market wasn’t on our 2024 bingo cards, but given it’s for a good cause we’re sure her fans won’t mind her scalping her own shows. Swift generously donated four tickets to either the New Orleans, Miami or Indianapolis shows slated for October later this year. The highly sought-after tickets sold for over USD$80,000 (AUD$122.363).

It’s speculated that Swift will be changing the set list of the Eras Tour to include singles off her eleventh studio album, meaning the owners of the coveted (and eye-watering) seats will be some of the first in America to see Swift perform TTPD live.
It’s also reported that Swift is “sad” to be leaving her S.O. during her upcoming European leg of the tour. The songstress must be in Paris by May 10th for her performances, but that doesn’t mean the pair doesn’t have plenty of time to spend together. Who knows, Swift and Kelce might even make a pit stop in New York come the first Monday in May for the annual Met Gala. As the Madonna, the Queen of Pop, said: “Time goes by so slowly”.
