After waiting 16 whole years, fans finally got to experience Taylor Swift‘s 2006 song ‘Mary’s Song‘ live, with her partner Travis Kelce watching from the audience. Swift’s Eras Tour has been full of surprises, and this was just the latest one in the series that left both fans and her beau overwhelmed.
While Travis and Taylor’s love has been on full display since they stared dating, every passing day seemingly makes it even better for their fans. Among the multiple instances during the Eras Tour that made fans gush because of the love between the stars, here’s another one where Taylor dedicated the rare performance to Travis Kelce.

Taylor Swift Performs ‘Mary’s Song’ For The First Time In 16 Years
During the secret songs segment of her June 6 performance of the Eras Tour in Amsterdam, Taylor Swift sang a mashup of ‘Mary’s Song‘, ‘So High School’ and ‘Everything Has Changed‘. The fans seemed pleasantly surprised — not only by the performance of the classics but also by how while singing ‘Mary’s Song’, Taylor Swift seemed to be serenading her partner and NFL star Travis Kelce.
The last line of the 2006 hit song ‘Mary’s Song’, which Swift performed at the end of the mashup, has a new significance for her since she began dating NFL player Travis Kelce: “I’ll by 87, you’ll be 89 / I’ll still look at you like the stars that shine / In the sky, oh my my my.”
Fans were seen cheering harder as they heard those lyrics that hold significance because of the Kansas City Chiefs player’s jersey number 87 and Swift’s birth year 1989 (and her album named ‘1989‘ too).
The 34-year-old pop star had last sung the song live in 2008, when she delivered a rendition of it at the McKenzie Arena in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

The Amsterdam show wasn’t the only one on the Eras Tour where Taylor Swift surprised her fans with glimpses of her relationship. On June 23, during her performance in London, her boyfriend Kelce shocked the crowd by joining her onstage.
The quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, sporting a tuxedo and top hat, joined Swift as she changed into her ‘I Can Do It With a Broken Heart‘ ensemble. Swift had previously introduced this transition when she added ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ album to the tour.
Swift and Kelce made their stage debut together, a first for the pair. The two went all out in this portion, assuming the role of the dancer who often lifts the Grammy winner onto the stage.
Kelce used a hand fan to fan himself, swayed around, and grinned at her. Swift turned to face Kelce and appeared to kiss him before turning to continue singing ‘I Can Do It With a Broken Heart’.
