Taylor Swift Fans Think She Hid a Message to Travis Kelce in Her Latest Eras Tour Surprise Song
Travis Kelce was in the audience when she combined “The Prophecy” with “This Love.”
As you probably know by now, Travis Kelce was in the audience of Taylor Swift’s latest Eras Tour concert in Indiana.
On November 2, Kelce spent the evening dancing with the pop star’s mom, Andrea Swift, and swaying near basketball superstar Caitlin Clark before leaving the stadium with his girlfriend. As usual, Swift sang “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs running straight home to me” during the show’s finale to note Kelce’s attendance, but that wasn’t the only lyric adjustment that caught fans’ attention.
For her second surprise song of the evening, Swift performed a mashup of “The Prophecy” with a very different song about lost love. Instead of telling the ominous story of a woman fated to go through life alone, she combined the Tortured Poets track with 1989’s “This Love,” which speaks of the return of love after heartbreak.
“Please, I’ve been on my knees. Change the prophecy. Don’t want money, just someone who wants my company. Let it once be me. Who do I have to speak to about if they can redo the prophecy?” she sang towards the end of the mashup, per multiple fan recordings. “These hands had to let it go free and….change the prophecy.”
Fans went wild for the mashup, of course. “The addition of the line, ‘These hands had to let it go free and change the prophecy,’ has such a beautiful meaning I think I’ll be thinking about it nonstop for a while,” one Swiftie wrote on X.com, alongside a transcript of the mashup’s full lyrics.
Many viewers felt like Swift was singing directly to Travis Kelce during this performance.“This love is REAL,” one fan commented on a fan-recording, adding, “Singing these two [songs] with Travis in the crowd is pure romance.” Another fan replied to a different video, writing, “Trav was in attendance this was definitely a love mash up.”
