At one of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour shows in July, fans were shocked to get not one but two surprises in the form of an appearance by Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce, and a surprise performance with Gracie Abrams. Abrams recently shared some funny words of encouragement Kelce gave her before he went on stage.
Some Words of Encouragement
He joked that he would make a mistake on purpose so that she looked better when she appeared, easing her nerves a bit. Abrams also recalled that the entire tour comprised a community of really supportive people and that she could feel the happiness radiating from everyone, be it from the crowd or the performers.
Gracie remarked on how it was incredible to see how everyone bonded over 18 years of Swift’s music. The star joined Swift on stage to perform her song “Us,” before which Taylor made a joke about being impressed if anyone knew the lyrics as the song had only been released two days before. Even though it was Gracie’s song, not Taylor’s, the two performed it live much to the delight of the crowd.
A Public Shoutout
Before Gracie went on stage, Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, surprised fans by replacing one of her dancers during the segment where she pretended to be upset as her dancers dressed her up to perform “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” from her album The Tortured Poets Department. He even carried her across the stage, which Swifties across the world swooned over.
After the show Taylor mentioned both Travis and Gracie on social media, calling Gracie “impossibly gifted” and saying she can’t stop laughing at Travis’ Eras Tour appearance. Who knows what surprises the remaining Eras Tour shows have in store for fans? Only time will tell.
