The Sweetest Taylor & Travis Moments In The End Of An Era

The End of an Era is here, and it’s got plenty of sweet behind-the-scenes moments between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. The six-episode Eras Tour docuseries premiered on Disney+ on Dec. 12. It’s the fourth episode that most highlighted Swift and Kelce’s relationship, but the pop star has shared new insight into the romance various places in the series.

Even before the docuseries debuted, fans knew that “the guy on the Chiefs” would be making some appearances in it. In the first trailer, which dropped on Oct. 13, Swift and Kelce shared a kiss backstage. Plus, Swift’s mom Andrea Swift told cameras, “Travis Kelce, he brings a lot of happiness.” Another trailer showed the couple talking on the phone, comparing their jobs, teams, and coaches (which in Swift’s case meant her mom).

Here are cutest moments between Swift and Kelce in the doc.

Travis & Taylor’s Supportive Pre-Show Phone Call

In Episode 1, Swift is dealing with the emotional aftermath of terrorist threats putting a stop to her shows in Vienna, Austria, as well as a knife attack in Southport, England at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party.

The singer’s first time back on stage after the violent threats and attack was at her London show on Aug. 15, 2024. In the docuseries, she shared a snippet of a pre-show phone call with Kelce, where he pumped her up for what was to come. “How are you guys so good? You can just do a little in-the-backroom rehearsal and then go do this live in front of everyone?” he asked her.

She later compared the conversation to a “vitamin drip,” reviving her in the same way.

Travis “Scouring” The Internet For Her Surprise Songs

During their phone call, Kelce repeatedly told Swift how he wished that he could be there for her shows. “I want to be there!” he told her. She echoed back, “I want you to be here!” (He couldn’t come because of football.)

Kelce also assured her that he’d be keeping up with the performance as best as he could. “So I’m gonna be scouring the internet in case you sing this song,” he told her, referring to Swift’s tradition of choosing surprise songs to perform in each show.

Taylor’s Contact Name For Travis

The phone call clip also revealed Swift’s contact name for Kelce, which includes his name and three flame heart emojis, a symbol she (and her team at Taylor Nation) have been using to represent The Life of a Showgirl album — only adding to Kelce’s muse status.

The album itself also includes plenty of fiery symbolism. “As legend has it you / Are quite the pyro / You light the match to watch it blow ... I swore loyalty to me, myself and I / Right before you lit my sky up,” Swift sings in ‘The Fate of Ophelia.” She also references “fire” in “Eldest Daughter.”

Taylor’s Check-In Call Right After The Concert Ended

Swift had a lot of nerves before her first show in London — even after she finished up the concert, she checked with a member of her team to see if anything had gone wrong without her knowing. Once she was assured that everything was safe, Swift called Kelce right away, updating him on her ride to her hotel. “It went so great. I’m so happy,” she told him. “Oh, I can hear it in your voice so much,” he replied.

According to Swift, the crowd brought the energy, as if everyone knew she needed to feed off of it for the night. “I’m so relieved,” she added to Kelce.

Taylor Revealed New Details About Her First Date With Travis

In Episode 4, Swift admitted that she wasn’t very keen on dating athletes before her mom pushed her to give Kelce a chance. "I've been very non-athlete, because I’m not one, so I've been like ‘Well what would we talk about?’” Swift recalled.

Despite her initial hesitations, Swift went on a date with Kelce, and she revealed how he helped her change her tune on football. “On our first date, he literally had to explain football like it was violent chess, which kind of helped me to understand it,” Swift said. “Like high-speed, angry chess.”

Travis’ Gift For Taylor

Before her New Orleans show, Swift recieved a bouquet of flowers from her boyfriend. And her favorite part was actually what was missing from the note. “I love that he doesn’t even have to sign them anymore,” Swift swooned.

Travis’ Eras Tour Cameo

Kelce famously joined his girlfriend on stage during one very special Tortured Poets Department section. In the docuseries, Swift revealed the appearance started as a joke, but Kelce was immediately all-in for it. “Travis is a real yes-guy in terms of life itself. He's just up for anything,” Swift said. “We were joking around about him going up there with [dancer] Kam [Saunder], and it became very clear that he wasn't joking, and I was like 'Oh wait no, you would do that?' and he was like, ‘Yeah it'd be hilarious.’”

Kelce’s willingness to shine in the spotlight is something that Swift clearly loves about him. “The moment's never too big for Travis,” Swift marveled. “The lights are never too bright for Travis.”

Taylor Watching Travis’ Games Backstage

At the end of Episode 4, Swift admitted that she’s never been able to balance touring and maintaining a healthy relationship before dating Kelce.

“There's been this dynamic shift with Travis,” Swift said. “I've realized with this person in my life that was the right fit for me, you can have the two passions coexist, and they actually fuel each other. Ultimately, we love cheering each other on.”

To that last point, the doc showed Swift enthusiastically watching various Chiefs games backstage at her concert arenas, always decked out in Chiefs gear.

The Kiss Beneath The Stage

The most romantic moment of all showed Kelce waiting for his girlfriend beneath the Eras Tour stage. As they reunited after Swift’s show, they two embraced in a romantic kiss.

Travis’ Letter for Taylor

The last End of an Era episode revealed what emotions went into that final performance. Kelce had a game the day of Swift’s last Eras Tour show, so he wasn’t able to make the concert. Still, he made a point to send her some love with a sweet letter and bouquet of white roses.

"So many unbelievable memories on this tour but my favorite one is seeing you in concert for the first time and being mesmerized and swept off my feet by a woman who doesn't even know me,” Swift read part of Kelce’s note aloud.

“Selfishly I say thank you for creating this legendary tour and to Robert [Allen] for making you stop through Kansas City, Missouri, that night too in KC was the beginning of me meeting the love of my life,” she continued, giving a shoutout to Swift’s tour manager.

Swift didn’t read the entire letter out loud, but she did gush over it to her mom. “Aww my God!” Swift said. “So much for no emotions on the last three shows.”
