Gracie Abrams Shares What Travis Kelce Told Her Right Before He Went Onstage With Taylor Swift

Gracie Abrams recalls Taylor Swift bringing Travis Kelce onstage during her concert at Wembley Stadium in London.
Gracie Abrams is sharing some insight into Travis Kelce’s surprise on-stage cameo during Taylor Swift’s show at Wembley Stadium in London, England, on June 23. During a visit to SiriusXM’s The Morning Mash Up on Tuesday, Gracie opened up about her experience touring with the 34-year-old musician, and revealed that she got to speak with Taylor’s Kansas City Chiefs tight end beau before he joined her onstage.

“Before we both went on, we were in the tent and he was like — he went on right before I did like, I think two songs or something. He’s like, ‘I’ll mess up so you look really good,'” Gracie, who also joined Taylor onstage that night to perform their song, “Us,” recalled of the 34-year-old Travis’ appearance.

Travis has devoted countless hours to watching Taylor’s shows around the world, including Australia, Paris, Kansas City — where it all started — and, most recently, three consecutive shows in London and one in Dublin, Ireland. His on-stage cameo in London came during The Tortured Poets Department era as Taylor transitioned from a dress to a two-piece outfit thanks to her backup dancers. Travis — wearing a black tuxedo and top hat to match Taylor’s other dancers — carried his girlfriend of roughly a year onstage and stood by as her two other dancers stripped her of the dress while he stood back and smiled.

On June 24, a person close to the couple shared with ET that Travis and the “So High School” singer have long been planning to get him up onstage for a performance and that the stars finally aligned over the weekend at Wembley Stadium.

The source told ET that while Travis’ appearance was manicured to perfection — including one sweet moment where he pretended to apply makeup to Taylor’s face before she began singing “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” — he only had a few hours to get it together.
