    Travis Kelce delights Taylor Swift fans by listing his favorite album ‘Era’… and revealing which of his girlfriend’s songs he’d most like to play at Kelce Jam.

    Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce took a break from watching his superstar girlfriend, Taylor Swift, performing music so that he could tend to his own music festival.

    The ‘Kelce Jam’ music festival is being held at an amphitheater in Kansas City and is headlined by rappers Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz as well as electronic music dj Diplo.

    But even at his own big-name event, Kelce was still asked about his superstar better half.

    The tight end was asked by Access Hollywood what his favorite ‘Era’ is.

    ‘Oh I’m a big 1989 era [fan],’ Kelce replied. ‘But I’m not gonna lie, I might be a little biased toward The Tortured Poets Department, just a little bit.’

    He was then asked about which song he would want Swift to perform if she ever hypothetically showed up to Kelce Jam.

    Kelce replied: ‘”So High School” might be the only one that’s just jumping into my mind right now, I think everybody would get fired up for that one.’

    He also added that ‘The Man’ was a favorite of his niece, Wyatt, so that would also be up for consideration.

    As Kelce arrived at ‘Kelce Jam’, his fans mobbed him – recording him with their phones, forcing his security to clear out a path for him.

    Later in the evening, Kelce was joined on stage for 2Chainz’s set by his Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes.

    Kelce then took the microphone and made a passionate speech to the thousands of fans in attendance.

    The tight end said: ‘Y’all are the f***ing best, man. I tell you what. Throughout all my years in KC man, life could be no better right the f*** now.

    ‘It’s alive and popping in Kansas City and I know you guys feel that s*** too. I’ve been so thankful that you guys show up and show out every single time we play at Arrowhead that we’re going to keep bringing Kelce Jam to you in the offseasons baby.

    Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s “love story” has received plenty of attention from fans and media as the star tight end’s Kansas City Chiefs play the San Francisco 49ers at Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday, February 11.

    However, not everyone has been happy with the exposure their relationship has gotten, with some claiming that it has overshadowed the actual in-game coverage. So at her most recent concert on Saturday, another Grammy-winning singer Adele made it clear where she lay in the debate:

    “I think I want the Chiefs to win just because Taylor Swift goes for them….and all of you complaining about Taylor being at the game, get a (censored) life. She’s actually made it a bit more enjoyable to watch.”

    Will Taylor Swift attend Super Bowl LVIII? Chiefs heiress provides massive update

    The question that lingers in many fans’ minds is whether Taylor Swift will actually make it to Allegiant Stadium on time for Super Bowl LVIII. Fortunately for her fans, during Fanatics’ Super Bowl party, Gracie Hunt, daughter of Chiefs CEO Lamar Hunt, said:

    “She’s coming! She’s coming! We’re excited.”

    This appears to have been corroborated by an X/Twitter update from aviation journalist Jason Rabinowitz, who revealed that the pop star had landed at Los Angeles International Airport at around 3:30 PM Pacific Time Saturday:

    Should the Chiefs win, there will be an afterparty; but Hunt refused to elaborate on whether it would involve Swift, who will then fly to Australia to continue the Eras Tour in Melbourne and Sydney.

    Nevertheless, she highly appreciates the multi-platinum singer’s impact on the NFL as a whole:

    Gracie Hunt said:

    “I’ve loved watching women and girls fall in love with football. I’ve grown up loving the sport my entire life, and Taylor has had such a huge impact with her presence at Chiefs games. It’s so fun to have her now as a part of Chiefs Kingdom.”

    She added:

    “But also just to see the young girls in the stands with their signs because they know that [Swift] is now loving the game, so they’re loving it, too. Previously, about 49% of the NFL fan base was women, and that number is growing rapidly. So we’re super excited for all the new Swifties to be a part of this game.”

    Super Bowl LVIII will mark the 13th NFL game Swift has attended. The Chiefs are currently 9-3 with her in the stands.

    As the pop superstar, 34, continues to support the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, also 34, at his games, a source tells PEOPLE exclusively the couple remain “really happy” together.

    “They’re having a lot of fun, but they’re still seeing where it goes,” adds the source of the stars, who began dating shortly after Kelce revealed in late July on his New Heights podcast that he had tried to shoot his shot with Swift after her concert.

    Since attending her first game in September, Swift has been consistently cheering on her boyfriend alongside his loved ones, including mom Donna, dad Ed and Kelce’s longtime friends.

    Speaking for the first time about their romance to Time in December, Swift similarly underscored their support for each another.

    “When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” said the Grammy winner. “The opposite of that is you have to go to the extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. We’re just proud of each other.”

    In November Kelce flew to Buenos Aires during his bye week to cheer on his girlfriend at her show, where he was seen singing and dancing along to every song.

    After the show, the couple delighted fans when Swift ran into his arms for a romantic kiss after changing the lyrics to her song “Karma,” giving Kelce a shoutout: “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me.”

    Taylor Swift and Blake Lively proved why the best relationships are not romantic ones as they stood together in friendship through thick and thin for almost 10 years.

    While the recording artist might be known for her chaotic relationship history, Taylor Swift’s close-knit circle of friends is a better example of hardy relationships.

    They saw her through a rocky relationship with Matty Healy, watched on as she released acclaimed album after acclaimed album, and they are now present for her ongoing love with Travis Kelce.

    Though Taylor Swift‘s friendship circle has shifted over the years, Blake Lively has remained a firm staple in her life.

    Let’s take a look at Taylor and Blake’s relationship, from the origins of the blond buddies to how Ryan Reynolds factors into the equation.

    Taylor Swift and Blake Lively’s friendship began in 2015

    Almost a decade ago, Blake Lively was accused of throwing shade at the singer as she compared her L’Oreal campaign to Taylor’s Bad Blood music video.

    Thankfully, the actress hit back at trolls with: “Umm whoever thought I was throwin’ shade clearly doesn’t know I have a ‘Taylor Swift Please Be My Wife Voo Doo Doll’ #obsessed. Love my Canadian family almost as much as I love Taylor Lively. I mean Swift. Ok, FIIINE we can hyphenate our last names. Xo Blake Swift-Lively 4eva.”

    The two soon met up in Australia, forming a friendship that would last years and spark adorable moments like Taylor including Blake’s kids in her music.

    The following year, Blake wished her bestie a Happy Birthday on Instagram with: “People Who I Not Only Really Love, But Also Really LIKE, That Were Born Yesterday: Part 1 of 2. @taylorswift you know how I feel.”

    Party all the time

    With such busy schedules between movies, kids, and Taylor’s many, many, digital releases, Blake Lively and Taylor Swift are only in close proximity on rare occasions.

    This started a trend of attending partying together, which began in 2016 as Taylor and her boyfriend Tom Hiddleston celebrated the 4th of July with Blake and Ryan. I mean, if you’re invited to Taylor’s iconic July 4th parties, you know you’ve made it.

    Over the years, Blake and Ryan, who have been married since 2012, have attended many of Taylor’s bashes from birthday parties to Halloween soirées.

    Being besties with arguably the biggest recording artist on the planet sure does have its perks, as Blake and Ryan know All Too Well. In 2017, the couple’s eldest daughter James was featured on Taylor’s track Gorgeous as they barely kept it together during a live performance.

    “A little intro there, yeah,” Reynolds said on Good Morning America about the song in 2018. “That was a voice memo that ended up on a [Taylor Swift] song. It’s pretty amazing. My daughter has a really, really terrible ego problem now after that song.”

    Another heartwarming nod came in 2020 when Taylor featured James, Inez, and Blake’s mystery third baby in her track Betty.

    “I was walking home on broken cobblestones / Just thinking of you when she pulled up like / A figment of my worst intentions / She said ‘James, get in, let’s drive,” the lyrics read.

    When accepting a Grammy for folklore in 2021, Taylor further paid tribute as she shouted out “Betty, James, and Inez” and their parents during her acceptance speech.

    In November 2021, Blake Lively stepped out of the actor’s chair and into the role of director on Taylor Swift’s I Bet You Think About Me music video.

    Though some husbands keep away from friends of their wives, Deadpool actor Ryan has been front and center throughout much of Taylor and Blake’s friendship. During one of Taylor’s SNL appearances in November 2021, Ryan even stepped up as the designated photographer.

    Alongside attending Taylor’s parties with his wife, Ryan has enjoyed listening to Taylor’s music at various performances over the years. At one point, Taylor even dubbed him “Blake’s sperm donor“, which the actor took lightly.

    The world might be head over heels for Taylor and Travis Kelce’s relationship, but her most successful relationship is undoubtedly with best bud Blake Lively. Naturally, she bought the Simple Favor actor along for the NFL ride.

    In October 2023, Blake and Ryan attended one of Travis’ football games alongside Taylor and even Hugh Jackman.

    Just two months later, Blake published a gushing statement about female friendships.

    “When I grew up, women were always pit against one another. It took me until adulthood to see that the instinct for women to lift each other up to their highest potential is the norm not the exception,” she said via Instagram.

    “Most of my best friends are women who would’ve been packaged to me as threats or competition. It’s our job to show younger generations the power in aligning rather than dividing.”

    Earlier this year, Blake and Ryan again attended a game as Travis competed during the Super Bowl LVIII between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers.

    With Blake currently under fire from fans and critics alike, here’s to hoping that her friendship with Taylor Swift means her fans will defend Blake with similar passion.

    Travis Kelce Declares: ‘This Is All Because Taylor Is the Biggest & Best Thing Possible’

    Travis Kelce has called girlfriend Taylor Swift ‘the biggest and best thing possible’ after talking about his whirlwind trip to see her in Australia last month.

    The NFL star landed in Sydney on February 22 to meet up with his popstar girlfriend after his Super Bowl victory with the Kansas City Chiefs and watch her perform one of her Eras Tour shows.

    The A-list couple were also pictured on a day out at Sydney Zoo before Kelce took his place at Accor Stadium to watch his girlfriend perform in front of yet another sold-out crowd.

    The couple were reportedly staying together at the high-end hotel Crown Towers in a suite that runs up over $16,300 USD ($25,000 AUD).

    However, the couple’s reunion was short and sweet as Kelce boarded a flight just a couple of days later to return to the US for more celebrations with the Chiefs in Las Vegas.

    The Australia reunion came less than two weeks after Swift watched Kelce win the Super Bowl

    Speaking on the latest episode of their New Heights podcast, Kelce was full of praise for his lover’s talent and admitted he had a great time Down Under.

    When asked by brother Jason ‘what the hell is your life right now?’, Kelce said: ‘Well dude it’s a wild ride. I will tell you this, Australia did not disappoint.

    ‘Only went to Sydney, got a lot of friends I’ve met over the years that are out there in Melbourne and definitely want to get out there and see you guys and see what Melbourne has to offer.

    ‘But Sydney was a beautiful city, I want to say similar to Miami, a lot of intercoastal, it was cool to say the layout of the land over there, let alone the zoo and seeing the exotic animals.’

    Jason interrupted his brother and asked how the couple were pictured as they walked around the zoo together.

    Kelce continued: ‘There were full on helicopters just flying around.

    ‘They helicoptered us, well not us. This is all because Taylor is the biggest and the best thing possible.’

    Taylor Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelce touched down in Sydney on Thursday morning and the Style singer wasted no time showing him the Harbour City. Both

    Swift and Kelce’s visit to Sydney Zoo was criticized by animal rights organization PETA.

    The animal rights nonprofit organization released a statement saying the couple should ‘spend their time and money at a true sanctuary,’ instead.

    Talking about their day out together, Kelce said: ‘One of my favorite things – the zookeeper showing us the red panda, we had to go in a cage just to go and see the panda in the panda area.

    ‘And they are like “alright, make sure that door is closed when you get out. Quickly close this one because they are escape artists” and I was like this thing has got so many brownie points from me. These things are escape artists.’

    Talking about their encounter with lions, Kelce continued: ‘Dude when you hear that roar – Taylor taking a picture and you see three of them run down from their perch knowing they are about to get fed, you see how fast and agile that thing is, it’s over.

    ‘You could tell one was the like big, bad – I was like damn, that’s a bad man right there. It was fun.’

    In one clip from the Eras Tour show, a grinning Kelce could be seen trading friendship bracelets with Swifties. In another, he waved at screaming fans as he walked by.

    Later in the show, Swift had an encore of her altered ‘Karma’ lyric, where she once again sang out ‘Karma is the guy on the Chiefs’ instead of ‘guy on the screen’.

    Talking about the show, Kelce said: ‘Sydney did not disappoint. The crowds there are already rowdy, they were just a little bit louder than the Argentina crowd.

    ‘I was not expecting that because Argentina was f***ing loud. They were into it, so was Sydney.

    ‘Taylor is very fond of performing in Australia because of the crowds over there and how into it they get.’

    When Jason pointed out there were a number of Kelce jerseys in the crowd, Travis replied: ‘There were a few. There’s a good American football crowd out there and Taylor fans, I think they wanted to show support.

    ‘It’s pretty f***ing cool just having your jersey being worn, even if it is just on a day or at a football game.’

    Taylor Swift’s Priceless Reaction When Kamala Harris Stops Dancing at Concert

    During Taylor Swift’s recent concert, an unexpected and heartwarming moment unfolded that captured the attention of fans and media alike. The incident involved none other than Kamala Harris, the Vice President of the United States, who was attending Swift’s performance. When Harris paused from dancing, Taylor Swift’s reaction was both priceless and revealing, providing a glimpse into the pop star’s genuine personality and her ability to connect with her audience.

    The Concert Moment

    The event took place during one of Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated concerts, part of her record-breaking Eras Tour. Swift’s shows are known for their high energy and engaging performances, and this particular concert was no exception. As Taylor took the stage, the atmosphere was electric, with fans eagerly participating in the excitement of the evening.

    Among the audience was Vice President Kamala Harris, who was seen enjoying the concert with enthusiasm. The Vice President’s presence was notable not just for its political significance but also for the genuine enjoyment Harris displayed throughout the performance. However, it was a specific moment during the show that stole the spotlight and highlighted the unique interaction between Swift and Harris.

    The Dancing Pause

    During one of the concert’s most energetic and upbeat songs, Kamala Harris was caught on camera dancing along with the crowd. Her dance moves were a testament to her enjoyment and engagement with the performance. However, at a certain point, Harris stopped dancing to take a moment to rest or perhaps engage in conversation.

    “I’m 89 and flew 5,000 miles to see Taylor Swift in Paris’: Elderly Swiftie Shares Their Emotional Journey to See Taylor Swift in Paris

    Nancy Strong, 89, has been a Taylor Swift fan for almost 15 years.
    She traveled from Dallas to Paris to see the Eras show after buying a ticket for €190 ($205.)
    The great-grandmother said the concert was one of the most exciting nights of her life.

    This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Nancy Strong. It has been edited for length and clarity.

    My granddaughter, Jennifer, and I were visiting my brother in New York when tickets for the second leg of Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour were released in Europe last fall.

    It was the middle of the night because of the time difference. But we hit the internet the second they became available. “We’ve got to make this happen,” Jennifer said as we joined the virtual ticket line.

    I stayed up for as long as possible before giving up and going to bed. Then, around 3 a.m., Jennifer burst into my room, threw on the lights, and yelled, “Grammy, Grammy — I got the tickets!”

    Of course, I jumped out of bed screaming like crazy. It was stupid fun. We jumped up and down. We were going to Paris to see Taylor on May 9, 2024.

    I’ve been a Swiftie since September 2009, when I watched the MTV Music Video Awards show at my home in Dallas.

    Unfortunately, it was the infamous night that Kanye West jumped onstage, grabbed the microphone, and interrupted her acceptance speech.

    At first, I was confused, thinking it was some kind of stunt. Then I realized it wasn’t. “How could he do that to that young, vulnerable, sweet girl? ” I thought.

    I felt a connection to Taylor Swift

    My last name is Strong, and I live up to it. I don’t like to see people bullied, and I admired how Taylor handled the situation.

    The incident triggered my interest. I discovered she’d been born and raised in Reading, Pennsylvania. My husband, Asa, 93, and I lived in Reading during the 1960s — when our five sons were born — so I was very attached to the town.

    It was a connection. The more I read about Taylor, the more I liked her. I was impressed that her parents were involved in her career, and she was all about family.

    I’ve been blessed with 12 grandchildren, six of them girls. They told me how much they felt inspired by Taylor and related to her as a successful young woman.

    I'm 89 and flew 5,000 miles to see Taylor Swift in Paris. I treated myself to a $2K per night hotel and it was worth every penny.

    We listened to her music together. We loved how she wrote about her own life in her music. She was relatable because she sang about loneliness, break-ups, and pure happiness. People understood her because her life experiences reflected theirs.

    When Jennifer asked if I wanted to see Taylor with her in Paris, it was a no-brainer. I’ve run a travel agency for nearly 50 years and have flown worldwide. The only places I haven’t been are The Arctic, Antarctica, and a few countries in South America. I’ll be 90 in August but I can’t slow down.

    I’m in love with Europe. After we purchased the Taylor tickets for €190 ($205) each, we booked a week-long vacation in Amsterdam and Paris. We paid for our business class flights with points, but splurged $2K per night on a five star hotel in each city. Five of us went to the concert, including Jennifer, 32, another granddaughter, Brianne Pattison, 36, and my daughter-in-law, Kay Strong, 66.

    I was dancing so much, I thought I might tumble over

    image

    It was one of the most exciting nights of my life. Taylor has a great work ethic. She came on at 8 p.m. and left at 11 p.m., entertaining us the whole time. How she changed those costumes and showed up in those high boots is beyond me.

    My favorite song is “The Man,” followed by “Shake It Off.” I went crazy when they came up. I was up on my feet so much, I was worried I was going to tumble over the seats. The atmosphere was amazing. I loved watching the audience scream their heads off.

    As for my outfit, I wore a sparkly top over some pants that I bought from Anthropologie. The top covered up a multiple of sins for an 89-year-old lady. I felt great.

    A few days after the show, someone posted an Instagram video of me dancing. You can’t see my face, but the clip went viral. I’m happy that the younger generation knows there are older people like me who love to have fun in their life.

    Taylor Swift donated more than 700 million VND to help poor girls go to college

    According to Daily Mail on August 21, a black female student called on people to donate money for college through a post on the fundraising platform GoFundMe. After hearing the news, Taylor Swift quickly donated 23,000 pounds.

    Vitoria Mario (18 years old) dreams of becoming a mathematician in the future but cannot enter university due to financial problems. The black female student migrated from Portugal to live with relatives in Tottenham (UK) 4 years ago. She could barely pay for her studies while her father passed away and her mother remained in Portugal. After asking for help everywhere but receiving no response, she decided to ask the community to raise money for her to go to school through the fundraising platform GoFundMe. The amount of money that Vitoria Mario wants to achieve is about 40,000 pounds (more than 1.2 billion VND) to pay for tuition, buy supplies, learning equipment and living expenses for 4 years of university.

    After reading the above female student’s appeal, Taylor Swift reviewed and decided to donate 23,000 pounds (more than 700 million VND) to help the black girl pay tuition. The singer of Look what you made me do did not forget to leave a message: “Vitoria, I read your story online, they really inspire people because of your motivation and your efforts to transform dream come true. I want to give you the rest of my goal amount. Good luck with everything you do. Best regards, Taylor.” In response, the 18-year-old female student expressed her happiness: “My mind was blown away when I read those words. I wondered how I could achieve the target number and now, the miracle has happened” and thanked everyone for their support.

The black female student revealed that she is qualified to major in Mathematics at the prestigious Warwick University with impressive achievements. Vitoria Mario explained that she did not meet the criteria to borrow social assistance loans because she did not have a house, her family had a low income and was not qualified to support her studies. “Sadly, my father passed away and my mother is still in Portugal. Leaving her was a big challenge for me, but it was a legitimate sacrifice in the family’s mind. If you want to receive a good education like in England, you have to make trade-offs,” the poor girl expressed.

    Before deciding to set up a fundraising page, Vitoria Mario sent emails to 442 people from leading companies hoping to receive support or useful advice, but they were all ignored or rejected without reason. “Desperately searching for a solution to my path, I went to the wealthiest post offices in London, including Kensington, left my story through letterboxes and sadly no one cared. coming,” the U.20 female student revealed.

    In a surprising twist that left Taylor Swift both ecstatic and emotional, the pop sensation recently experienced an unexpected and romantic gesture from her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, during her final tour date in Dublin. The heartfelt surprise has become a talking point among fans and media, showcasing the couple’s genuine connection and public displays of affection.

    The surprise unfolded during one of Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated performances at her Dublin concert, part of her celebrated Eras Tour. As Taylor dazzled her audience with her array of hit songs, she was taken aback when she spotted Travis Kelce in the VIP area. The unexpected appearance came as a complete shock to Swift, who, according to a source close to the couple, had no prior knowledge of Kelce’s plans to attend the concert.

    The source revealed, “Taylor was completely surprised by Travis’s arrival. She had no idea he was going to show up, and it made her incredibly happy to see him there, showing support. It was a wonderful and romantic gesture that added a special touch to the already memorable night.”

    The arrival of Travis Kelce was not merely a delightful surprise but also a testament to the couple’s supportive relationship. From the beginning of their romance, Kelce has been a steadfast supporter of Swift, embracing her immense fame and successful career. This level of support and understanding is something Swift deeply values, particularly in contrast to her past relationships.

    Swift’s relationship with Kelce is marked by an unassuming yet profound level of mutual respect and appreciation. Unlike some previous partners, Kelce has shown no signs of being intimidated by Swift’s celebrity status. Instead, he has consistently demonstrated his admiration and pride in her achievements. This attitude of embracing and supporting Swift’s success has been a refreshing change for the singer, contributing to the depth and strength of their relationship.

    In a recent podcast appearance, Travis Kelce opened up about his feelings for Swift, providing further insight into their relationship. Kelce praised Swift’s self-awareness and genuine nature, which he finds particularly endearing. “Taylor is very self-aware, and I think that’s why I really started to fall for her,” Kelce shared. “She’s incredibly genuine around friends and family, and even with all the attention she gets, she remains so chill and cool.”

    Kelce’s candid remarks reflect the authenticity and sincerity that characterize their relationship. It’s clear that he values not just Swift’s public persona but also her private qualities, which he believes are essential to their connection.

    The public’s reaction to Kelce’s surprise appearance has been mixed, with fans expressing a range of opinions about the couple’s public displays of affection. On one hand, many fans were touched by the romantic gesture, celebrating the evident love and support Kelce shows Swift. “This is so cute,” one fan commented. “It’s clear that Travis is head over heels for Taylor, and I love how he’s not afraid to show his support for her career. Their relationship seems so genuine and supportive.”

    On the other hand, some fans have voiced concerns about the public nature of their relationship. A few have suggested that the constant showcasing of their romance feels somewhat staged and overly publicized. “As much as I love Taylor, this whole thing feels a bit staged,” one fan remarked. “It’s like they’re constantly trying to prove how perfect their relationship is. I wish they could just enjoy their time together privately without feeling the need to share every detail with the world.”

    Another fan echoed similar sentiments, expressing discomfort with the public displays of affection. “This kind of public display can be overwhelming for some fans,” they noted. “I prefer to focus on Taylor’s music and talent rather than her personal life. While I understand that she’s happy, I wish she could find a balance between sharing her joy and maintaining some privacy.”

    The discussion around Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s public displays of affection highlights a broader conversation about the balance between public and private life for celebrities. While fans are often intrigued by the personal lives of their favorite stars, there is also a growing recognition of the need for privacy and the potential pressures of constant public scrutiny.

    For Taylor Swift, finding this balance is likely a challenge, given her high-profile career and the intense media attention that comes with it. Nevertheless, the genuine support and love from Travis Kelce seem to be a significant positive force in her life, adding to the joy and fulfillment she derives from her relationship.

    Taylor Swift’s recent Dublin concert was made even more memorable by Travis Kelce’s unexpected and heartfelt surprise. The romantic gesture not only delighted Swift but also underscored the strength and authenticity of their relationship. While public reactions vary, the overall sentiment remains one of admiration for Kelce’s support and Swift’s ability to find genuine love and happiness.

    As Taylor Swift continues her tour and navigates her high-profile career, the support of Travis Kelce will undoubtedly remain a cherished aspect of her personal life. For now, fans can celebrate the sweet moments between the couple while appreciating the music and artistry that brought them into the spotlight.

  • Taylor Swift gives ‘life-changing’ $100,000 bonus to Eras Tour truck drivers, as a surprise bonus.

    Taylor Swift gives ‘life-changing’ $100,000 bonus to Eras Tour truck drivers, as a surprise bonus.

    Taylor Swift is going out in “Style.”

    On the eve of wrapping up the US leg of her wildly successful Eras Tour, Swift on Monday thanked a slew of crew members who have done serious heavy lifting on the road with her — among them, the tour’s truck drivers — with a hefty bonus.

    Swift stunned the tour’s trucking staff by giving each trucker a check in the amount of $100,000, Michael Scherkenbach, founder and CEO of Denver, Colorado-based Shomotion trucking company, told CNN.

    Shomotion is one of two transportation companies used by the tour, he said. “My company handles transportation of the stage and structure, pretty much the skeleton that everything hangs on at the concert venue.”

    While Scherkenbach declined to disclose how many of his staff received the six-figure bonus, he said it was a total of nearly 50 members of the combined trucking crews.

    The “generous” amount, he said, far exceeds the standard expected bonus. “The typical amount is $5,000 to $10,000 each. So this large amount is unbelievable.”

    But more than that, Scherkenbach said it is a “life-changing” amount of money.

    “These men and women, they live on the road. They sleep during the day and work all night,” he said. “It’s a grueling task. They leave their families, young children for weeks. For Taylor’s tour, they’ve been away from home for 24 weeks.”

    To receive $100,000 is a down payment on a house or college tuition for a child, he said. “Look, fair wage doesn’t put you in a position to buy a home. But this opens up that possibility.”

    A surprise meeting

    Scherkenbach said his drivers were flabbergasted when they were called into what they thought was a routine production meeting on Monday. It was anything but that.

    Then Swift’s father, Scott Swift, made a surprise visit.

    “The Taylor family is always present and kind to our drivers but Scott generally doesn’t lead the meeting,” said Scherkenbach. “Scott gave a speech saying that he had discussed this with Taylor and they thought that it was only right that everybody received a bonus. Taylor insisted on writing a handwritten note to each driver and [added] a wax seal on the envelope with her monogram.”

    Each envelope stated the amount of the bonus. “The drivers didn’t want to be overly rude and look at it. But one looked and thought it said $1,000, another driver saw it as $10,000 and then the third said ‘Well this has to be a joke!’” Scherkenbach said. After the letter, the checks were given with the corresponding tax document.

    In addition to his staff, Scherkenbach said other tour crew members, including those in catering, video, audio and lighting, also received bonuses.
