And Emma—currently sporting a blonde bob—rocked several friendship bracelets alongside a short grey skirt and plain white tee.
Emma, 35, and Taylor, 34, have enjoyed a decade long friendship and they recently served as collaborators. The two-time Oscar winner (real name Emily Jean Stone) was among the writers credited on the song “Florida!!!” from Taylor’s latest album The Tortured Poets Department.
As for Travis, the Super Bowl winner, whose love story with Taylor first began around this time last year, was seen bopping his head along to “Love Story” from the VIP section of the arena. And while he’s been taking in Eras Tour shows all over Europe—including her shows in Amsterdam, Dublin and Paris—during his last few months of off-season, soon he’ll be reporting back to Kansas City for training camp.
The NFL star recently reflected on the moment he found himself falling for the Grammy winner, saying that her self-awareness was something he was immediately struck by.

“I think that’s why I started to really fall for her, is how genuine she is around friends, family,” he said on the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast in June. “It can get crazy for somebody with that much attention, and she just keeps it so chill and so cool. And that’s something I can admire for sure.”
He also noted her first NFL appearance, when she watched the Chiefs take on the Chicago Bears in September, as a turning point in their relationship.

“The first game she came to I was like, ‘I can probably set you up with everything,'” Travis recalled. “And she just walked right through the front door. There’s no going down, talking to security. She was like, ‘I just want to be around family and friends and experience this with everybody.'”
“She got points for that,” he added. “I was like, ‘Damn, she’s in the madness. She wants to be a part of it and do things like that.’ She really won me over with that.”

July 2023: So, Make the Friendship Bracelets
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s love story began in July 2023, when the singer’s Eras Tour made a stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it. However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals.
“I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. “So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”

Summer 2023: This Is Him Trying
After publicly recounting his fumble—a move Taylor would later describe as “metal as hell”—Travis decided to shoot his shot and invite the Grammy winner to watch the Chiefs play at Arrowhead Stadium.
“I threw it out there, I threw the ball in her court,” he shared on The Pat McAfee Show. “I told her, you know, ‘I’ve seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead, you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit.’ So, we’ll see what happens in the near future.”
