Taylor Swift is dishing on a very awkward moment Travis Kelce had at one of her Eras Tour shows!
On Wednesday night (October 8), the 35-year-old “Opalite” singer appeared on Late Night With Seth Meyers where she revealed that the 36-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end had an embarrassing mix-up with two stars inside the VIP tent at her show in London back in June 2024.

Ahead of one show in London, Taylor told Travis that Barbie director Greta Gerwig would be in attendance.
“I was like, ‘I got to let you know, your favorite director is in the tent,’” Taylor recalled. “He loves Greta Gerwig. He loves her movies.”
She went on to explain, “He loves her range, you know what I mean? Like, being able to do this many different types of films. It’s incredible. Genre-hopping. It’s really impressive. And so, he was like, ‘Oh, my God, I really want to tell her how funny I thought Barbie was.’ And I’m like, ‘You absolutely should. She’s the sweetest, giggliest person to tell that you like their work. You’re gonna love her.’”
Taylor continued, “And so, the show happens. I’m like, ‘Oh, my God, everyone’s having the best time.’ And afterward, you know, he gets in the car. He has had as many shots as everyone else has had. And he’s like, ‘This was the most fun tent. Everybody was amazing. Like, Tom Cruise is going crazy. Like, Liam [Hemsworth] is just as fun as Chris [Hemsworth]. And Liam’s fiancée Gabriella [Brooks] is so cool. And Ashton [Kutcher] was there. And Mila [Kunis], like, oh my God, Hugh Grant was there, and I get to tell him how much I love his movies. And he was so cool. Everyone was amazing!’”
“Oh, my God, that’s awesome,” Taylor then said to Travis, “Like, you didn’t mention Greta. Did you meet Greta?”
“’Yeah — I, um, I did,” she recalled him saying. “’I think I like — I think I told an annoying joke that she’s heard too many times.’”
Travis said, “Well, I walked up to her and I was like, ‘I love Barbie. I’m just Ken, too.’ And then I pointed to you.”
“That’s such a solid joke,” Taylor recalled responding. “She would have loved that.”
“Well, she was really polite about it,” Travis said. “Like, she smiled politely, but she didn’t say anything.”
Taylor admitted that Greta‘s response seemed “very out of character” then suggested that perhaps the director “had heard that joke too many times.”
Travis went on to tell Taylor that Greta was “talking to Hugh Grant all night. So I think they might be doing a movie together. Like, they were really, really close,” adding that he saw the two “dancing all night” and “had all these inside jokes. They kind of seem like they’re, like, soulmates.”
Taylor was surprised by the interaction between Greta and Hugh, saying, “I was like, ‘The tea is crazy tonight, Travis.’”
While she was scrolling through her phone, Taylor then saw “all over the internet is just videos of Travis dancing with Greta, all night like they’re best friends. And I’m like, ‘Travis, here’s a video of you with Greta. It feels like she thought the joke was funny.’ He goes, ‘Oh, that’s not Greta.’”
Putting two and two together, Taylor realized that Travis had mixed up Greta for Hugh‘s wife Anna Eberstein!
Taylor then asked Travis, “Is there any chance at all, baby, that you complimented Hugh Grant’s wife, Anna, on her movie Barbie, said, ‘I’m just Ken too,’ and she politely nodded because she didn’t have the heart to tell you she didn’t direct it. And is there any chance that the people that look like soulmates are Hugh Grant and his soulmate?’”
“The good thing is he recognized true love,” Seth said in response. “He saw soulmates, and he knew you were soulmates.”
If you missed it, Taylor just made history yet again!
