Taylor Swift was “shocked” when Travis Kelce showed up at her Indianapolis Eras Tour concert on Saturday, a source exclusively tells Page Six.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end arrived while Swift was onstage performing during the sold-out show at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Videos circulating on social media captured the Super Bowl champion surprising the “Cruel Summer” singer’s mom, Andrea Swift, 66, and brother, Austin Swift, 32.
“Andrea and Austin didn’t think Travis was going to be able to make it,” the insider tells us.

“They were shocked when he showed up. It was an amazing surprise and they were thrilled he was able to be there for such an important occasion.”
In the clips shared online, the NFL athlete, 35, could be seen walking up to the pair and greeting Austin with a huge bear hug.
Austin, who was dressed in a white shirt, could be seen giving the football player a few huge pats on the back.
Meanwhile, Andrea’s jaw dropped as she appeared just as stunned to see Kelce.
Our source says it was “really important” to the Chiefs star to attend Taylor’s show.

Kelce made it a point to make an appearance since it was the weekend of the Grammy Award winner’s final US shows before wrapping her record-breaking Eras Tour.
“Travis had practice earlier that day and he wasn’t even sure if he was going to be able to make it,” the insider tells Page Six.
“It was a last-minute decision,” the source adds. “Thankfully, he was able to get out of practice on time and show up.”
The Chiefs are scheduled to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night. Swift, 34, has hinted she may be there to return the favor and support her beau.
The pop star’s Eras Tour kicked off in Glendale, Ariz., in March 2023 and concludes in Vancouver on Dec. 8.

Taylor and Kelce started dating in summer 2023. They went public with their romance in September of that year, two months after he publicly expressed interest in the songstress.
On Thursday morning, ahead of the team’s Week 12 matchup with the Detroit Lions, the Indianapolis Colts announced a pair of practice squad moves.
The Colts will be bringing back a familiar face in offensive lineman Mark Glowinski and released cornerback Tre Flowers as the corresponding move in order to make room for this addition.
Glowinski is an experienced player, appearing in 124 career games, which includes 96 starts. He was with the Colts specifically from 2017-2021, along with also playing in Seattle from 2015-2017 and most recently with the New York Giants in 2022-2023.
Of Glowinski’s 124 NFL games, 59 came with the Indianapolis Colts.

Glowinski has spent most of his NFL career playing right guard, but did spend some time at left guard with the Giants last season.
Most recently, he would go on to play 520 offensive snaps during the 2023 season, allowing six sacks and 17 pressures, although he graded out decently well as a run-blocker, according to PFF’s metrics.
The Colts are stockpiling offensive linemen on the practice squad, with Glowinski now the fifth member of that position group.
As of Thursday morning, left tackle Bernhard Raimann was on the Wednesday injury report as a non-participant as he still deals with a knee injury and right tackle Braden Smith was listed as a limited participant with a foot injury.
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A charity of billionaire Jeff Bezos and his fiancée, Lauren Sánchez, have given a $2.5 million grant to an Indianapolis-based nonprofit health care provider that helps communities that are underserved and people who are homeless.

Bezos, the founder of Amazon, for seven years has given grants to organizations working with families that are homeless. Experts on family homelessness helped chose recipients of grants from Bezos; Day 1 Families Fund. Bezos and Sánchez have been in a relationship for five years, getting engaged in May 2023. Sánchez said Wednesday morning in a media interview she’s in the midst of wedding planning.
INDIANAPOLIS — The snow-free streak in Indianapolis will come to an end Thursday.
Can you remember the last time we had measurable snow? It was on February 16, 2024. This was 278 days ago. Many may remember this was the start of the NBA All-Star Game weekend in Indy.
It snowed 3.9″ that day, which was nearly half of last winter’s snow total. We had just 8.2″ of snow for the season of December 2023 plus January and February 2024.

A normal winter would see about 21.2″ of snow. Winter 2024 tied as the 23rd least snowy winter in Indianapolis history.
Just trace amounts of snow fell in March and April 2024.

Freeman also suggested checking your car batteries, coolant, and tires before you hit the road.
