Taylor Swift has been aiming for the heart with a sweet new addition to her concerts.
The 34-year-old singer, who thrilled fans in Dublin with her salute to the Irish flag, also caught the crowd’s attention by borrowing a signature dance move from her boyfriend Travis Kelce, 34.
During her performance of Midnight Rain in Dublin on Friday night, Swift pretended to be using a bow and arrow as she sang the line, “And he never thinks about me / Except when I’m on TV.”
Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, uses a similar move when he runs on the field at Arrowhead Stadium for home games.
“I always wanted to do something when I was running out of the tunnel,” the Super Bowl winner explained during an October 2023 episode of his New Heights podcast with his brother Jason Kelce.

“I’m like, ‘Man, you know what’s really motivated me? It’s always dreaming big (and) always shooting for the stars, so I’m just out there shooting for the stars, baby.’
Swift played to a packed audience at the Aviva Stadium, with the Irish Examiner It is estimated that fans had traveled from all over the Emerald Isle to see the concert.
As she took the stage, the outlet reported that Swift told concertgoers that no other audience compared to the Irish fans.
“I just have this feeling that ‘we’re back,'” he said.
“I think it’s been five years since I played a song in Dublin. Nobody does this like you do.”
The Grammy winner added the archery move to her recent shows at Wembley Stadium during her song So High School from her most recent album, The Tortured Poets Department, and Kelsey was seen in the VIP section reciprocating it.
During one of those shows, Kelce earned more than a little applause when he joined her on stage in a tuxedo with top hat and tails to transition from ‘The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived’ to ‘I Can Do It With the broken heart’.
In a now-viral video, one of her dancers, Kameron Saunders, who often says “like ever” into the microphone during We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, added an Irish touch to the evening by exclaiming “póg mo thóin” in Gaelic, or “kiss my ass” to the elated audience.
