The 2024 US Open had already packed quite an intense display of tennis, but things only got truly interesting on September 8 during the men’s final. As fans watched the match between Jannik Sinner and Taylor Fritz, all eyes really turned to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce stealing the show with an unforgettable, unplanned performance in the stands.
As the hit rock anthem “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” by The Darkness boomed across the loudspeakers at the stadium, Swift and Kelce simply couldn’t resist the temptation. Very loud and melodic, this 2003 classic sounded really nice in the stadium, with a lot of energy. Videos of them singing, laughing, and even playing air guitar spread across social media like wildfire.
The atmosphere was electric, with friends Patrick and Brittany Mahomes joining in the fun, creating a party-like vibe amidst the thrilling tennis match. Swift-the music icon-who looked radiant in a charming red gingham sundress, with Kelce in his stylish outfit, did not hide the chemistry as each shared heartwarming displays of affection.
This isn’t the first time that Taylor and Travis have been heard together in public. Their musical connection first came to light on Swift’s famous Eras Tour back in July 2023, where she even wittily dedicated a lyric to Kelce in her Arrowhead Stadium performance. The moment was special for all fans since the megastar singer jokily referred to her just-blossomed romance. That same night, which would subsequently prove to be the beginning of a romance that turned the attention of many, they shared a sweet backstage kiss.
The US Open’s official social media accounts shared clips of the couple’s sing-along, amplifying the positive reactions from fans. The moment had many people going ‘aww’ at just how this was “peak romance,” reminding them all of how love is truly beautiful in the limelight. Their playful relationship feels so endearing to the fans that their position as one of music and sports’ most favorite couples is pretty much sealed.
The relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce has been the one to watch since this summer of 2023. It all started when the tight end went to one of Swift’s concerts in Arrowhead Stadium. The duo shared a sweet backstage kiss that same night, marking the beginning of a relationship that’s captured the public’s attention ever since.
The two have shared a mutual respect for one another. In interviews, he has mentioned time and again a respect for Taylor, calling her “mind-blowing” as he praised her intelligence and work ethics. As far as Swift, well, her publicized appearances at Kelce’s games just show how proud she is of her boyfriend’s accomplishments. Fans are loving every second of it, with this mutual respect proving that their connection runs deeper than what has been in the public eye.
The 2024 US Open itself has been a whirlwind of excitement: thrilling matches and breathtaking performances. Jannik Sinner won the men’s single title against Taylor Fritz, whereas Aryna Sabalenka took away the women’s title against Jessica Pegula. This is an electric atmosphere at the US Open, with every seat filled at an Arthur Ashe night match.
While Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce continue to enchant the public with their love story, it is crystal clear that their US Open duet was not simply just one such impulsive instance but actually a reflection of their bright relationship.
