“That thing was the best tour in the world because of a lot of people, but mostly because of Taylor,” Travis said on the latest edition of his ‘New Heights’ Podcast
Travis Kelce is honoring the record-breaking success of his girlfriend Taylor Swift.
On Wednesday, Dec. 11, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 35, celebrated the “Fortnight” singer for completing her record-breaking $2 billion Eras Tour on his New Heights podcast with brother Jason Kelce.
“Shout out to Tay, and the unbelievable Eras tour has finally come to an end,” Travis shared on the latest episode of the podcast.
“Hold on. How long was the Eras tour?,” his brother Jason, 37, asked, to which Travis replied, that it lasted “almost 2 years,” as it started in “March” of last year.

The retired NFL player further inquired, “How many shows? Do you know off the top of your head?
“149 or 152. I forget which one it was. Somewhere in there. A f— ton is how I sum it up,” Travis joked.
He also noted that over “10 million people” attended Swift’s tour “over the course of it” — something which he said was “absolutely insane.”
“It’s pretty crazy,” the Kansas City Chiefs player added, to which his brother chimed in “Well, shout out to Tay.”

It has been the most exciting, powerful, electrifying, intense, most challenging thing I’ve ever done in my entire life,” per another video shared by a fan page on X.
Travis was one of the frequent celebrities that attended the show, appearing in the crowd in Australia, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Paris, Dublin and Singapore. He even joined Swift onstage for one of her London shows in June to take part in the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” costume change skit.
Several of her other friends, including Jason and his wife Kylie Kelce, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, the Haim sisters and Emma Stone were also videoed having fun and singing along while in the stands.
