Taylor Swift subtly showed her love for boyfriend, Travis Kelce, while taking the stage for her first of five performances in London at Wembley Stadium on Thursday.
As she returned to the stage for the first time since she was forced to cancel the Vienna leg of her tour due to a foiled plan for a terrorist attack at her concert, the pop star, 34, paid tribute to her man by wearing earrings with his first initial on them.
While dazzling 90,000 Swifties during her show, eagle-eyed fans noticed that the Cruel Summer hitmaker added another accessory honoring the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, also 34, to her collection.
The 14-time Grammy winner, who has worn Kelce’s jersey number countless times since going public with their relationship last fall, sported a pair of gold heart-shaped ‘T’ earrings.
Previously, she wore a different pair of ‘T’ earrings when he attended her 87th show in Paris on May 12.

It has been over one year since Kelce attended Swift’s Eras Tour stop in Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium with a homemade friendship bracelet with his phone number in July 2023.
Although his initial attempt at meeting her did not go as planned, since ‘she doesn’t talk before or after her shows’ in order to save her voice, his persistence did not go unnoticed by the singer.
In December, she confirmed that their relationship began after ‘Travis very adorably put’ her ‘on blast on his podcast.’
‘I thought was metal as hell,’ she told TIME magazine of how the NFL star admitted to taking it ‘personal’ that she wouldn’t meet with him.
At the time, Travis explained: ‘If you’re up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets and I had received a bunch of them, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift with my number on it.’
Despite her initial rejection, Swift, later, clarified that they ‘started hanging out right after that.’
‘So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date,’ she mused.
From the start, the Cats actress said their relationship was ‘public’ and that she enjoyed seeing ‘him do what he loves.’

‘We’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,’ she explained after becoming a a fixture at Chiefs games last year.
She continued: ‘The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.’
Last month, after the pair rang in their first anniversary as a couple, a source told People they are ‘very serious about each other.’
‘The relationship feels different for both of them,’ the insider told the outlet.
The source close to the pair, both 34, raved that they ‘have so much fun together.’
‘It’s funny to their friends because at first everyone wondered what they had in common, but you realize how similar they are,’ the insider noted. ‘They both wear their hearts on their sleeves and are all-in with everything they do, whether it’s with career, family or friends.’

Over the past year, she manged to publicly attended 13 of his games, including his Super Bowl win, and he’s attended the Eras Tour 14 times.
Before he made his way back to training camp, which began on July 21, the pair made the most of their time together.
‘Football is definitely still his priority but so is his relationship,’ the source said. ‘He makes romantic gestures to show he’s thinking of her when they’re apart. She’s going to try to attend as many games as possible.’
A second insider told People that the football player ‘loved being onstage’ to join the singer on stage.
‘He is confident and fun, and it was one of her tour highlights,’ the source added.

In June, while appearing on the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast, Travis gushed that ‘really’ started to fall for Swift as soon as he saw ‘how genuine she is around friends, family.’
‘It can get crazy for somebody with that much attention, and she just keeps it so chill and so cool. . . . She wants to be a part of it. She wants to support me,’ he revealed.
The Chiefs tight end went on to say that while they want ‘to keep things private,’ they’re not hiding anything either.
‘That’s my girl, you know what I mean? That’s my lady, so it’s like… I’m proud of that,’ he said. ‘I’m not sitting here trying to juggle like, “how can I keep this under wraps?” You just don’t want to let everyone into your personal life and be able to comment on it, knowing that everything she does is getting a headline.’

Given they are both all-time greats in their own industries, Kelce and Swift have dominated headlines ever since romance first blossomed last year, with the loved-up pair drawing attention from all across the globe.
Even for Travis, widely considered the best tight end in NFL history, the increased spotlight that dating Taylor has brought came as a major shock.
However, Kelce says his girlfriend’s ability to stay grounded despite her superstar status is what made him fall for her.
‘She’s very self-aware, but at the same time… she’s very self-aware. She understands situations like that and I think that’s why I really started to fall for her,’ he explained.
On the most surprising part about dating Swift, Kelce continued: ‘[Paparazzi] has been the craziest thing. Definitely the pulling up to the house, the just random, I don’t know…
‘It’s a different demographic than the NFL, so it’s been cool to dabble in that and see her following and everything. It’s been fun because a lot more kids are into the game and the Chiefs fans have turned into a lot of her fans. And her fans have turned into Chiefs fans, so I’ve had fun with every aspect of it.
‘But when you’re at home, you want privacy, and you don’t always get that.’
