Not only is Travis Kelce the recipient of Swifties everywhere's unofficial 'Boyfriend of the Year' award, but he's also confirmed that he's as in touch with his emotional side as his record-breaking, billion dollar-making girlfriend.
On July 6 at the final Amsterdam Eras Tour concert, Taylor Swift and Kelce — who are fast approaching their one-year anniversary — shared one of their sweetest and most tender public moments yet.

During her secret set, Swift performed 'Mary's Song' from her eponymous debut 2006 album for the first time in 16 years, which Swifties across the board have interpreted as a prophetic song for her relationship with Kelce.
'I'll by 87, you'll be 89,' Swift sang with a very knowing smile, according to fan recordings of the performance. 'I'll still look at you like the stars that shine in the sky, oh my my my.' While both Kelce and Swift were born in 1989, the 34-year-old NFL player wears the number 87 on his Kansas City Chiefs jersey in honour of his older brother Jason.
'The moment we have ALL been waiting for,' the official Swift team account, @taylornation13, wrote on X. In anther video, a fan can be heard saying, 'This girl is in love.'
But it wasn't Swift's performance, which also featured her songs 'Everything Has Changed' and 'So High School', that struck fans the most but rather her boyfriends' sweet reaction to the singing of those specific lyrics. In a video that's now gone viral, Kelce can be seen wiping tears from his eyes while watching his partner, which even the couple's close friend Brittany Mahomes seemed to take note of, hugging the football player towards the end of the clip.
In the comments section of another fan recording, which appears to capture Kelce's reaction to the '87/89' lyric, one fan wrote, 'The way this woman can make Travis feel like the only person in the room with over 70,000 people is just incredible.'
