Travis Kelce’s best friend Ross Travis attended Taylor Swift’s first show in Sydney during her Australian Eras tour on Friday evening.
The 34-year-old global megastar took to the stage at the Accor Stadium to perform in front of a rapt audience of 80,000 people, after a late start due to storms and rain.
Taylor’s NFL star boyfriend Travis, 34, attended the show to support her after arriving in Sydney on Thursday for her busy weekend of shows.
Travis’ boyfriend Ross, 31, joined him on the big trip Down Under and he got into the full swing of Swiftie mania when he too attended Taylor’s highly anticipated first show in Sydney.
Ross took to his Instagram Stories in the early hours of Saturday to give insight into his epic night out at the concert, where he traded friendship bracelets with fans.

After the set for opening act Sabrina Carpenter had to be canceled, Taylor finally took the stage just over 20 minutes after the scheduled start time of 7:30 PM.
“We’ve got a bit of a weather situation, maybe some rain, but I’ve never known an Aussie crowd to let that get in the way of having a good time,” Taylor told her fans as she started her performance .
The wild weather in Sydney on Friday evening caused chaos for the 80,000 Swifties heading to her first show of the Eras Tour in the city.
Fans seated on the ground and lower bowl levels of the stadium were asked to move inside after lightning struck just 6 miles (10 kilometers) away shortly before 6 p.m.
A statement from Accor Stadium, issued just before 6 p.m., told concertgoers that the three-hour show had been postponed.
Other famous faces attending the show included Rita Ora and her husband Taika Waititi (center), Katy Perry (far right) and Toni Collette (left)

“Please note: due to weather, the show start time has been postponed,” it said.
‘Remain undercover until further notice and follow the site screens and staff instructions.
“Stay safe and remember to be kind to those around you.”
Taylor will be back at the show on Saturday evening, followed by two more shows on Sunday and Monday to conclude her Australian tour.
