The singer shared what happened when Kelce met his “favorite director” during her Eras Tour stop in London
Taylor Swift spilled the tea on how a case of mistaken identity during her Eras tour led to her fiancé Travis Kelce meeting Greta Gerwig… eventually.
While stopping by Late Night with Seth Meyers on Wednesday to promote her record-breaking album The Life of a Showgirl, Swift recalled how Kelce met a slew of celebrities at the VIP tent during her trek’s stop in London last year. Swift said that after Kelce gushed about hanging out with Hugh Grant, his wife Anna Eberstein, Tom Cruise, Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, and more, she noticed that he had yet to mention Gerwig, who is the Kansas City Chiefs player’s “favorite director.”
Kelce then said that he had told the Barbie director an “I’m just Ken” joke that didn’t seem to go over too well, puzzling Swift, who at first chalked up the awkward meet-and-greet to Gerwig hearing the joke one too many times. Continuing to recount the evening, Kelce then mentioned how Gerwig and Grant danced closely together throughout the show, had all these “inside jokes,” and appeared to be “soulmates.” Swift understandably reacted at the time by exclaiming, “The tea is crazy tonight, Travis!”
Soon after, however, videos of Kelce dancing with Gerwig began to pop up online, prompting Swift to “do the math.” When the pop star showed Kelce the videos and he replied, “That’s not Greta,” it clicked: He had mistaken Grant’s wife for the famed director.
“The good thing is he recognized true love,” Meyers pointed out. “He saw soulmates, and he knew you were soulmates.”
