Kelce rocked a green shirt and a baseball cap as he made a low-key appearance at the Veltins Arena.
The 34-year-old stayed in a private VIP section of the soccer stadium during Swift’s 46-song setlist, per photos acquired by The Daily Mail.
However, eagle-eyed fans spotted the NFL star midway through the show, with Kelce waving back to them.
Swift and the three-time Super Bowl winner have been dating since last summer.
They left the arena after the show arm-in-arm, per Page Six.
Kelce is set to return to Kansas City for mandatory training camp on Saturday.
Wednesday’s show looks set to be his last visit to an Eras Tour concert for the foreseeable future.
Back in Missouri, Chiefs rookies have already checked in for drills ahead of the new season.
On Wednesday, quarterback Patrick Mahomes joined them, and the 28-year-old quarterback got in some valuable reps with the new recruits.
Team veterans – including Kelce and Mahomes – do not need to report to the St. Joseph, MO facility until Saturday.
Travis’ schedule will see him undertake three weeks of intensive training before pre-season games begin on August 10.
The Chiefs begin their quest for a historic threepeat on September 5 against the Baltimore Ravens.
Swift’s epic Eras Tour continues throughout the rest of the year.
She remains in Germany until July 28, playing gigs in Hamburg and Berlin.
The 14-time Grammy winner will perform in Warsaw, Vienna, London, and Vancouver before the end of the year.
Travis Kelce the actor
NFL star Travis Kelce has apparently landed his first major acting role.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end plans to become a “heavyweight” figure in music and entertainment.
Kelce has seen his star power rise after going public with his girlfriend Taylor Swift last summer.
The 34-year-old has now been cast in the new horror series Grotesquerie.
Directed by American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy, the drama is set to land on FX this fall.
Kelce will appear in the show alongside Niecy Nash-Betts, Courtney B. Vance, and Lesley Manville.
On Tuesday, Nash-Betts appeared to confirm Kelce’s involvement with a surprise Instagram reveal.
“This is what happens when WINNERS link up” she captioned a clip featuring Kelce in a backstage dressing room.
Since Kelce won Super Bowl LVIII in February, the NFL star has been a regular feature at Swift’s concerts.
Wednesday was his 13th summer visit, including a gig in London where he stunned fans by appearing on stage.
The NFL power couple’s romance appears to be thriving despite their hectic schedules.
Kelce’s Chiefs coach, Andy Reid, feels positive about their romance.
“He can handle it. I think there’s a great escape for him,” Chiefs coach Reid told the Athletic.
“I said that about Taylor too. I mean, she comes to the game, she can kind of escape having to be the show.
“And when he goes to her concerts, she’s the star and he can be hanging out there and be the support or the waterboy.”
