The New York Times crossword puzzle recently surprised fans by featuring two unexpected clues - Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce! In the Monday, June 24 edition, both the pop sensation and the football star made their debut in the iconic puzzle.
Travis Kelce, a three-time Super Bowl winner at 34, was the first to appear in the crossword at 28 across, with the hint: "Three-time Super Bowl winner Kelce." Meanwhile, Taylor Swift's clue popped up at 44 across as "The ____ Tour (Taylor Swift concert series)." The appearance of both Kelce and Swift in the crossword puzzle was purely coincidental, as the puzzles are accepted months before publication, according to The New York Times.
Swift, 34, and Kelce's joint appearance in the crossword puzzle came just after Kelce joined his girlfriend on stage during her third Eras Tour show in London on Sunday, June 23. During the show, Kelce made a surprise appearance during the Tortured Poets Department segment, joining Swift on stage at Wembley Stadium for a memorable moment.
Wearing a morning suit and top hat to match Swift's dancers, Kelce picked up Swift and carried her to the end of the stage to assist with her wardrobe change. In a playful gesture, Kelce even pretended to apply makeup on Swift's face, adding a touch of humor to the performance.
Swift's Wembley shows were a star-studded affair, with VIPs like Prince William, Tom Cruise, Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, and more spotted at the venue over the weekend. Travis Kelce's family, including his brother Jason Kelce, sister-in-law Kylie Kelce, and dad Ed Kelce, also showed their support by attending the Friday and Saturday concerts.
As the Eras Tour continues its journey across the globe, Swift's next stops include Dublin, Amsterdam, Milan, and other major European cities before returning to London for an additional five nights at Wembley in August. Travis Kelce, who teased his excitement for the London shows, expressed admiration for Swift's ability to fill Wembley Stadium multiple times, highlighting the magnitude of her success.
Travis Kelce's surprise appearance in the New York Times crossword puzzle and on stage with Taylor Swift added a delightful twist to their already charming relationship. As fans eagerly anticipate more surprises from this dynamic duo, their crossword connection remains a memorable moment in both pop culture and sports history.
