Attendees at Patrick Mahomes’s The 15 and Mahomies Foundation Golf Classic gala in Las Vegas Saturday got lucky: Not only did Taylor Swift attend the event in a shimmering gold gown on the arm of Travis Kelce, but at the last minute, she threw in four tickets to her sold-out Eras Tour as an auction item.
Swift and Kelce walked into the event hand-in-hand, as seen in footage Mahomes posted to Instagram, and Swift could be seen waving a red napkin and cheering as Kelce took the stage to announce another item to be auctioned for charity—not to mention a little DTR (define the relationship, natch) moment.
“I was just talking to my significant other,” Kelce said, nodding toward Swift, “and we might have one other auction item that wasn’t on the docket.”
“Has anyone heard of the Eras tour?” he then asked.
The four tickets eventually sold for a whopping $80,000, according to social media updates after the event. Auctioneer Harry Santa-Olalla, standing alongside Kelce, urged attendees to increase their bids.
“Who would actually pay hundreds of thousands just to know Taylor Swift is actually cheering you on as you’re winning 4 of her tickets—this is insane!” he said. “Let’s go!”
Swift released her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, on April 19, and resumes the Eras Tour in Europe in May, with her first performances after the break slated for Paris. On Friday night, before the gala, Swift and Kelce were spotted out on a double date with Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, at Easy’s Cocktail Lounge inside the ARIA Casino. Patrick Mahomes and Kelce are teammates on the Super Bowl-winning Kansas City Chiefs, and the two couples have been spotted spending social time together several times since Swift and Kelce began dating in 2023.
A representative for Taylor Swift did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
