During her recent concert at Groupama Stadium in Lyon, France, Taylor Swift delighted fans with a heartwarming reaction that quickly ignited connections to her relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce.
The 34-year-old pop sensation performed a unique mashup of “Fifteen” from her Fearless album and “You’re on Your Own, Kid” from Midnights during the surprise song segment of the evening.

Swift‘s fans are accustomed to her spontaneous setlists, which keep the audience guessing as she alternates between the piano and guitar for different tracks each night.
As Swift sang “Fifteen,” a song that reminisces about a high school romance, first heartbreak, and a football team love interest, fans were particularly attentive.
Videos from the performance showed Swift blushing and smiling sweetly, eliciting a roar of approval from the crowd.
Why was Swift so emotional?
Fans quickly drew parallels between these lyrics and Swift‘s real-life romance with 34-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Their relationship began in the late summer of 2023, just before Swift’s much-publicized appearance at a Chiefs game in September.
In “Fifteen,” Swift reflects on her youthful dreams.
“Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday, but I realized some bigger dreams of mine.”
This sentiment resonated with fans, who noted the poetic justice of Swift achieving her dreams before dating a football star.
“She did all the greater things THEN dated the boy on the football team,” one fan commented on TikTok
Meanwhile, stateside curiosity about their relationship continued to grow. During the 2024 Big Slick Celebrity Weekend in Kansas City, Missouri, actor Jason Sudeikis humorously confronted Kelce about his plans with Swift.
“Travis, real talk, just the guys here,” Sudeikis teased.
“When are you gonna make an honest woman out of her?”
This playful exchange followed reports from ET that wedding bells might be in the couple’s future.
