Travis Kelce has been loving the offseason life of watching Taylor Swift perform her Eras Tour, and one video captured just how meaningful it's been for him to spend that time with his significant other.
A video showed Kelce getting emotional during a performance of "Mary's Song" by Swift, during which she has the lyrics, "You'll be 87, I'll be 89." The song, first released in 2006, was used by Swift to reference Kelce, who wears the No. 87 for the Chiefs.
Kelce has been attending multiple editions of the popular Eras Tour since the Chiefs won the Super Bowl. The latest was the third leg of her tour in Amsterdam.

But Kelce wasn't watching the concert by himself. Along with him were his teammate Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany Mahomes.
Is 'Mary's Song' about Travis Kelce?
The song might have the number "87" as part of its official lyrics, but no, the song is not about Kelce. It was released in 2006 on Swift's self-titled album. At the time, Kelce was 17 and still playing high school football.
"Mary's Song" is about how love can be forever, Swift told Billboard in 2006 , drawing inspiration from a 60-year-old couple she knew when she moved to Nashville who acted like they still had a "crush on each other."
"They … told us about how they were little kids [when they met] and I just thought that was so cute," Swift told Billboard. "You know, you go to the grocery store and you look at all these tabloids with everybody who’s lying to each other, cheating on each other, breaking up, and it kind of discourages you for a little while."
'Mary's Song' lyrics
Here's a look at the lyrics for "Mary's Song."
She said, I was seven and you were nine
I looked at you like the stars that shine
In the sky, the pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
Growing up and falling in love and our mamas smiled
And rolled their eyes and said oh my my my
Take me back to the house in the backyard tree
Said you'd beat me up, you were bigger than me
You never did, you never did
Take me back when our world was one block wide
I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried
Just two kids, you and I
Oh my my my my
Well, I was sixteen when suddenly
I wasn't that little girl you used to see
But your eyes still shined like pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
They never believed we'd really fall in love
And our mamas smiled and rolled their eyes
And said oh my my my
Take me back to the creek beds we turned up
Two A.M. riding in your truck and all I need is you next to me
Take me back to the time we had our very first fight
The slamming of doors instead of kissing goodnight
You stayed outside till the morning light
Oh my my my my
A few years had gone and come around
We were sitting at our favorite spot in town
And you looked at me, got down on one knee
Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle
Our whole town came and our mamas cried
You said I do and I did too
Take me home where we met so many years before
We'll rock our babies on that very front porch
After all this time, you and I
I'll be eighty-seven; you'll be eighty-nine
I'll still look at you like the stars that shine
In the sky, oh my my my
