Taylor Swift had a lot celebrate for her 35th birthday on Dec. 13. After a year and a half on road and 149 show across the globe, her Eras tour became the highest grossing tour in history with over $2 billion in ticket sales.
While on tour, Swift released her 11th studio album in April, “The Tortured Poets Department,” which included several songs inspired by her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. “TTPD” not only became the No. 1 selling album of year on Spotify and Apple Music, but it also earned the singer six Grammy Award nominations.
While Kelce couldn’t attend the “Karma” singer’s final Eras show in Vancouver, British Columbia, on Dec. 8, as the Chiefs played the Los Angeles Chargers on “Sunday Night Football” that evening, he threw his girlfriend an epic surprise party to celebrate her unprecedented success.
Several of Swift’s close friends flew in for the party, including Ashley Avignone, who posted several photos from the Eras-themed bash on Dec. 19. However, one of her pictures left Swifties in tears.
Every night during the Eras show, Swift picked one young fan to receive her hat while performing the song, “22.” For Kelce to recreate this iconic moment so that Swift received that hat was almost too much for fans to handle.
One person commented on Instagram, “he give her the last 22 hat STOP IT IM CRYING A POOL.” Another fan wrote, “The 22 hat I’m in tears.”

In another photo Avignone posted on Instagram, Kelce is seen with the makeup brush he used during his surprise performance alongside Swift at the Eras show in London. The veteran tight end wore a similar suit that he rocked during the song, “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.” at Wembley Stadium on June 23.
There was no details too small for the 35-year-old All-Pro. He even recreated a version of the cleaning cart used on the Eras tour, which earned another round of applause from fans.
