Taylor Swift performs «Mary’s Song» for the first time in a long time — with a sweet nod to Travis Kelce
The 2006 song’s lyrics have acquired fresh significance once Swift started dating the NFL player, whose jersey number is 87. After years of waiting to hear the song live, Taylor Swift finally performed it.
During the secret songs portion, Swift, 34, shocked the sold-out audience at the Eras Tour event in Amsterdam on Saturday, July 6. She mashup’d «Mary’s Song,» «So High School,» and «Everything Has Changed.» Swift sung the last lines of the 2006 hit song «Mary’s Song,»
which has a new significance for her since she began dating NFL player Travis Kelce, at the end of the mashup. «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,» Swift sang.
Fans cheered when they heard the lyrics of the song, which Swift had played for the first time since 2008, because she was born in 1989 and the Kansas City Chiefs player’s jersey number is 87. The singer of «Fortnight» had a large smile on her face.
The 34-year-old Kelce, who was also born in 1989, was present for this unique occasion. He is now a regular on Swift’s historic stadium tour, and last month, he even went onstage with her for a gig in London. Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes,
Kelce’s wife and teammate, were among the audience members who witnessed the occasion in real time. During their European holiday, which also included stops in Spain, London, and Switzerland, the pair made a stop in Amsterdam.
