Kelce jetted out on Wednesday to meet Swift during her Eras Tour of Australia.

The Kansas City Chiefs star had returned to Las Vegas on Monday just over a week after his triumph at Super Bowl LVIII.

Travis joined Kelce in a private jet across the Pacific as the football stars hit the tarmac in Sydney.

A former teammate of Kelce’s at the Chiefs, 6-foot-7 Ross took an unconventional route to the NFL.

Travis was a college basketball star for the Penn State Nittany Lions.

He finished his career as a four-year letterman and played a career total of 133 games, starting 98.

Despite not playing football since high school, Travis declared for the NFL Draft in 2015.

He wasn’t selected but signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent in September of that year.

The Minnesota native suited up 17 times over the next two seasons before being released by Kansas City in November 2017.

Since then, he has enjoyed spells with the Indianapolis Colts, the New York Jets, and the Detroit Lions.

Travis was last on an NFL roster in 2021 and is currently a free agent.

He has 14 career receptions for 142 yards and is still looking for a first NFL touchdown.

Throughout his career in the league, Travis has earned $2,704,803, per Spotrac.

Travis has been a regular in the Kelce suite at NFL games during the 2023 season, being photographed regularly with Swift.

After touching down in Sydney on Wednesday, the 31-year-old documented his Aussie adventure with a series of Instagram videos, per the Daily Mail.

Swift is due to play four more Australian dates of her Eras Tour before jetting to Singapore for the next leg.

The loved-up couple are staying at a $16,000-a-night presidential villa in the harbor-side neighborhood of Barangaroo.
