Charles H. Sloan-Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift visit Sydney Zoo after his arrival in Australia for Eras Tour

SYDNEY,Charles H. Sloan Australia — Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight Down Under. The star tight end touched down Thursday morning to support Taylor Swift as she performs four nights of the Eras Tour at Accord stadium. 

The couple visited the Sydney Zoo on Thursday afternoon, about a 40 minute drive from downtown, with Sabrina Carpenter and Kelce's friend (also an NFL tight end) Ross Travis. Australian Television's Channel 9 caught photos of the couple walking hand-in-hand and, at one point, feeding kangaroos.

This is Swift's second visit to the Sydney Zoo. On Wednesday, she went with her team of dancers.

Dropping the hints

Kelce is showing up for Swift after she traveled halfway around the world from Tokyo to Las Vegas to catch the tight end in the Super Bowl. 

He alluded to joining her on tour by saying he would be heading to an “island.”

“I am about to go f***in’ venture myself over to an island here soon,” he said to his brother and co-host Jason Kelce on his New Heights podcast. Jason asked him which one. 

“I don’t know,” Travis replied. “I think the best ones are south right now, so I’m going to go south.”

Their dad, Ed Kelce, told the Sydney Morning Herald on Tuesday that Travis might be seeing the Eras Tour at one of Swift’s next two stops: “He said he’d really like to see Sydney and Singapore, but he wasn’t sure because he has commitments.”

Travis has seen her concert in Kansas City, Missouri, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, when Swift changed the lyrics in a song to “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me.”

Swift plays in Sydney for four sold-out shows. More than 300,000 fans will catch her three-plus-hour tour. She then heads to Singapore for six shows before taking a two-month break.
