Travis Kelce took his BFF Ross Travis with him to explore Australia!
On Thursday, Kelce, 34, joined Taylor Swift at Sydney Zoo with Kelce’s close friend, Travis, 31. The group headed to the zoo during the Australian leg of Swift’s Eras Tour.
In a Friday Instagram carousel post, Travis shared glimpses of their time at the zoo and showed the trio getting close to several animals.
Travis, a tight end who played with Kelce on the Kansas City Chiefs from 2015 to 2017, shared a video documenting himself feeding a lion. In the video, Swift, 34, is heard in the background saying, “Alright, Ross.” Once the lion takes the food and Travis is pleased with their interaction, Swift says, “Beautifully done.”

Along with feeding the lion, Travis was seen petting a kangaroo munching on some leaves and a rhinoceros relaxing in an enclosure.

Swift’s Thursday zoo visit was her second time visiting the park in Sydney as she also visited the day before Kelce arrived.
Swift landed in Sydney on Tuesday before her four-night stand in the city, which began on Friday. Her Sydney concerts follow three of the Grammy winner’s biggest shows in Melbourne — which garnered 96,000 concertgoers.

During the first Sydney show, Kelce was spotted walking on the floor amongst fans, holding a red Solo cup and sporting an arm full of friendship bracelets. Travis pointed the Super Bowl champ towards a certain group of Swifties, prompting Kelce to hand out a couple of guitar picks as fans cheered for him.
Swift also sweetly shouted out to the NFL star during the Sydney show. She changed the lyrics to “Karma” again during her Friday performance. “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me,” Swift sang, as heard in a video shared on X (formerly known as Twitter).
Meanwhile, Travis shared his rave review of Swift and the concert after the show in his Instagram Stories.
“First show and made some friends tonight,” Travis wrote over a photo of a friendship bracelet, adding, “Sydney you did not disappoint.”
In another slide, the NFL star’s friend said, “I understand now…That. Was. Amazing,” after watching Swift’s performance.
The Eras concert dates run until December 2024.
