Travis Kelce Calls Taylor Swift ‘My Significant Other’ in Eras Ticket Auction at Patrick Mahomes’ Charity Gala

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce arrived hand-in-hand to their friend Patrick Mahomes’ charity gala Saturday night (April 27) in Las Vegas, where Swift offered a surprise donation to go up for auction.

The couple, seen in clips posted online by gala attendees, showed up to support Mahomes’ 15 and The Mahomies Foundation. Their appearance quickly made the rounds on social media, with fans particularly charmed to hear Kelce sweetly refer to Swift as “my significant other.”

The pop icon, who’s been busy with the release of her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, this week, appeared happy to be there with Kelce. She was in a green evening gown and wore her hair styled down, looking effortlessly elegant for their night out together.

Auctioneer Harry Santa posted a selfie with Swift on Instagram Stories, followed by videos of Kelce helping him get bids for an unannounced package of Eras Tour tickets the star put up for auction for the foundation.

“I was just talking to my significant other,” Kelce said in a coy voice in one of the clips, “and we might have one other auction item that wasn’t on the docket. Has anybody heard of The Eras Tour?”

Santa made the first bid of $5,000 himself, saying they’d be moving forward in $5,000 increments. He joked that the winning bidder could go big for 15 and The Mahomies, then still profit by selling the in-demand tickets online for $200,000 straight after the gala.

“Taylor Swift is actually cheering you on as you’re winning four of her tickets,” he pointed out as Swift, seated next to Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, waved a red napkin. Kelce threw his head back, laughing.

Santa’s last update reported the four-ticket package sold for $80,000.

15 and The Mahomies is “dedicated to improving the lives of children,” Mahomes’ foundation, which he founded in 2019, states on its website. “The Foundation supports initiatives that focus on health, wellness, communities in need of resources and other charitable causes.”

Swift’s Tortured Poets Department, which turned out to have a staggering 31-song Anthology edition, has been shattering records in its first week, doing unprecedented numbers in streaming, sales and vinyl before even making its official debut on the Billboard charts.

She returns to tour in less than a fortnight, resuming her hours-long, career-spanning live show — presumably with at least some new material from the TTPD era — in Paris on May 9.
