Taylor Swift was caught completely off guard when she walked into a Kansas City venue expecting a quiet dinner but was greeted by friends, family, and a dazzling “Eras Tour”-themed party thrown by her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end pulled out all the stops to honor Swift’s birthday and celebrate the conclusion of her record-breaking tour.
Swift finally got to participate in a fan-favorite Eras Tour tradition: receiving the coveted “22” hat. Throughout the 149-date tour, Swift would hand a black fedora to a lucky fan during her performance of the hit song “22.” At the party, Kelce recreated the moment, gifting Swift the hat himself in front of their loved ones.
The moment was captured in a photo shared by Swift’s friend Ashley Avignone, who posted on Instagram, “And the last 22 hat goes to…”
Eras Tour-Themed Details Delight Guests
The party was filled with nods to Swift’s iconic tour. Guests enjoyed props like the faux-cleaning cart Swift used to travel backstage, green capes from her Evermore performances, and friendship bracelets popularized by her fans.
Among the star-studded attendees were Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, who arrived dressed in Swift-inspired outfits. Brittany rocked a silver fringe mini dress reminiscent of Swift’s Fearless era, while Patrick sported a suit in tribute to Kelce’s on-stage appearance during the summer. Chiefs teammate Blake Bell and his wife, Lyndsay Bell, also joined, dressed in looks inspired by Swift’s Lover album.
Swift’s Reaction: Shocked and Overjoyed
A source close to Swift told Page Six that the singer was “blown away” by Kelce’s efforts. “Taylor couldn’t have been more shocked when she saw everyone standing there,” the source said. “That was the last thing she was expecting, and she couldn’t believe Travis went out of his way to throw a surprise party for her. She thought it was so thoughtful and such a sweet gesture.”
Kelce had reportedly been planning the party for weeks, wanting to give Swift a grand celebration after the grueling two-year tour.
Looking Ahead: A Simple Life in Kansas City
Following the surprise party and the conclusion of her Eras Tour on December 8, Swift reportedly plans to spend more time in Kansas City with Kelce. According to an insider, the pop superstar is looking forward to a “simple life” away from the spotlight and aims to support Kelce as the Chiefs pursue another championship season.
For Swift and Kelce, the party not only marked a milestone in their relationship but also celebrated Swift’s monumental success as one of the most influential and beloved artists of her generation.
