Taylor Swift is paying one final tribute to Travis Kelce on her Eras Tour!

During her last Eras Tour show in Vancouver on Sunday, Dec. 8, the pop superstar, 34, gave a sweet nod to her boyfriend Kelce, 35, while singing a lyric change to “Karma” at the end of the concert.

Halfway through performing the song, Swift stood centerstage while joined by her dancers and sang, “Karma is the guy in the Chiefs, coming straight home to me,” referring to Kelce’s team, the Kansas City Chiefs, as the crowd erupted in cheers.

In fan footage posted on TikTok from earlier in the show, which wrapped up Swift’s record-breaking 22-month tour, the singer paid homage to her NFL boyfriend again as she struck an archer pose in playful reference to Kelce’s signature dance moves.

Since the pair began dating last year, Swift has frequently given nods to the Chiefs’ player on tour in altered lyrics to her songs and doing the archer pose, with Kelce typically being in the audience at her shows. The Chiefs player, however, wasn’t in attendance at her last show in Vancouver on Sunday.

Swift first performed the “Karma” lyric change when Kelce attended her show in Argentina in November 2023.

Kelce’s first reaction to the lyric switch-up was caught in a video posted by a fan on TikTok. In the clip, he was seen smiling and putting his hands on his face in disbelief, before continuing to dance alongside Swift’s ecstatic dad, Scott.

On Oct. 20, Swift gave another shout-out to Kelce while performing “Karma” with the same lyric change at her third show in Miami, which he also was not able to attend, following the Chiefs’ win against the 49ers in San Francisco.

Swift closed out her Eras Tour at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver on Dec. 8. The final show concluded a global run of record-shattering shows for the tour, which began in March 2023.

While delivering her final “Lover” speech of the tour, Swift said, “We have toured the entire world … we have had so many adventures. It has been the most exciting, powerful, electrifying, intense, most challenging thing I’ve ever done in my entire life. We’ve gotten to perform for over 10 million people on this tour,” per a video shared by a fan page on X (formerly Twitter).
