Eras Tour
Page: 7
Taylor Swift absolutely blew up the internet after her Saturday (Nov. 11) Buenos Aires, Argentina, Eras Tour show by changing her “Karma” lyrics to shout out her football star boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and now, Mr. Karma himself is opening up about the viral moment.
“Yeah no I had no clue [she would do that] … well, I might have had a little bit of a clue, but definitely when I heard it come out of her mouth, it still shocked me,” Kelce admitted on the latest episode of his New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with brother Jason Kelce. “I was like, ‘Oh s–t, she really just said that.’”
Swift had altered the lyrics slightly to sing, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me.” (The original line goes, “Karma is the guy on the screen coming straight home to me.)
The tight end was so surprised by the pop star’s gesture, in fact, that he completely missed that Swift’s father, Scott, who sported a Chiefs lanyard that night, was trying to give him a high-five. “Mr. Swift, I apologize, big guy. Oh man, I missed that,” he said, adding that he “persuaded” the patriarch, a longtime Eagles fan, to join Chiefs Nation after meeting him at dinner the night prior.
“I was enjoying myself down there in Buenos Aires,” Travis continued. “The show was even more electric knowing that I had a little bit more to enjoy it for and yeah. Taylor absolutely ripped it. She killed it. And it looked like she was having some fun up there.”
The Ohio native went on to give insider details about Swift’s decision to postpone her Friday (Nov. 10) show, which he had originally planned to attend, due to severe weather risks. “The entire stage is an LED screen, so, lightning and electronics don’t mesh very well,” he explained to his older brother, how is the Eagles’ center.
“She wasn’t too happy,” he continued. “She kind of prides herself on performing through weather or rain. But when it’s unsafe to her and her crew and everybody in the stadium, you gotta do what you gotta do.”
Kelce ended up attending Swift’s Saturday show, while her Friday show was rescheduled to Sunday. “I think it ended up being perfect,” the athlete said. “I was blown away. It was an electric crowd, too. And for everybody that went to those shows, Taylor was on record saying it was one of her favorite places to play. So hats off to you guys for showing the love.”
The day she announced her postponement, Swift picked up six Grammy nominations, including nods for album, song and record of the year. She’s also the lead finalist for the 2023 Billboard Music Awards, with nods in 20 categories. (Stream the BBMAs Sunday, Nov. 19, at BBMAs.watch, or via Billboard and the BBMAs’ social channels.)

It’s been about a month since the internet flipped out over Taylor Lautner‘s viral moment at a screening for Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour film. And his Wednesday (Nov. 8) appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, the 31-year-old actor and his wife, influencer Tay Lautner, opened up about what led up to his mid-movie party trick.
“Our friends just egg him on,” explained Mrs. Lautner, who co-hosts The Squeeze podcast with her husband. “If we’re ever doing something, they’re like, ‘Do a flip!’”
The moment in question was caught on camera in October, one night after Swift held the world premiere of her concert film in California on Oct. 13. That weekend, the Lautners revealed to Clarkson, they rented out a movie theater for their friends to watch the movie, eventually leading to Mr. Lautner trying out his backflipping skills while Swift performed “Karma” onscreen.
The gymnastics demonstration didn’t come without cost, however, with the Twilight star admitting he felt a bit sore afterward. “I paid for it the next day,” he told Clarkson. “It was rough after that evening.”
Swifties know that Lautner is no stranger to backflips, especially where Taylor Swift is involved. In July, he made a surprise appearance at an Eras Tour show in Kansas City for the premiere of the pop star’s “I Can See You” music video, in which he stars alongside Joey King. And instead of simply walking onstage, he impressed the crowd by flipping down the catwalk.
That night, Swift praised Lautner, whom she dated briefly in 2009 between her Fearless and Speak Now albums. “He was a very positive force in my life when I was making the Speak Now album, and I want to say he did every single stunt that you saw in that music video,” said the 12-time Grammy winner. “He and his wife have become some of my closest friends, and it’s very convenient because we all share the same first name.”

Taylor Swift is ready to conquer the box office.
The pop superstar’s new concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, is headed for a $100 million domestic opening, according to early estimates by AMC Theatres, per The Hollywood Reporter. Hollywood studios are reportedly projecting that the movie’s opening weekend could earn between $90-$110 million.
The Eras Tour film grossed a whopping $39 million on Friday (Oct. 13), placing it along other blockbusters like Spider-Man: No Way Home ($39.2 million) and Joker ($39.4 million), THR reports. The concert movie has a chance at becoming the biggest October opening of all in North America if it surpasses Joker, according to Comscore.
By the end of the weekend, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour will likely become the top-grossing contemporary music concert film of all time. Justin Bieber‘s Never Say Never movie, released in 2011, currently sits at No. 1 on the top 10 list with a domestic gross of $73 million, according to boxofficemojo.com.
Following its release on Thursday (Oct. 12), the Eras Tour film had already broken records for single-day advance ticket sales revenue in the AMC Theatres’ 103-year history with $26 million in the first 24 hours of onsale, the company said in early September.
Swift was on hand for the world premiere of the movie at The Grove in Los Angeles on Wednesday (Oct. 11), where she delivered a three-minute speech and gave shoutouts to her band, dancers and, of course, Swifties.
“I’ve always had fun doing this. I can’t believe I get to do music as a career. That’s crazy,” the singer said. “I’ve always had so much fun doing it. I’ve never had this much fun in my life as I have had on The Eras Tour. It is far and away just the most electric experience of my life.”
The movie is also opening overseas, where AMC predicts a global start in the range of $150 million, according to THR. International grosses will be available on Sunday (Oct. 15).
