Lil Wayne is a Swiftie like the rest of us!
The rapper abruptly stopped his concert in Kansas City, Mo., on Tuesday to celebrate Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement. The moment he gave the couple a shoutout was captured on TikTok by a fan.
“First, I got to let you know that I’m dressed in spirit,” Wayne, wearing a black cardigan, said to the crowd.
“In the spirit of my man Travis and my girl, you already know Taylor.”
“Traylor! That’s what we call them,” he continued while showing off his outfit. “Congratulations.”
His ensemble has been a Swiftie staple since the pop star released the song “Cardigan” on her 2020 album “Folklore.”
Fans in the comments were shocked by the “Love Me” hitmaker’s praise for the duo since he has not been known to be a Swiftie like other celebs.
“lil wayne being a swiftie wasn’t on my bingo list but hell yeah!” one wrote.
“I need a lil Wayne and Taylor swift collab 😆,” another added.

“Dancing With the Stars” is getting in on the Taylor Swift excitement!
The official Instagram account for the dance competition series shared a mysterious post via Instagram on Wednesday, instantly causing hysteria amongst Swifties.
The post featured a simple purple glitter background that looks eerily similar to Swift’s teasers for her forthcoming 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” specifically the “Shiny Bug” variant collection.
“Tomorrow. 💜 #DWTS,” the post was captioned, encouraging fans to stay on the lookout for another announcement regarding Season 34.
Naturally, fans in the comments section couldn’t help themselves from speculating on what it all means.
“TAYLOR LAUTNER OR JASON KELCE PLEASEEEE,” one fan wrote, with another asking if reports of one of Swift’s “Eras Tour” dancers, Jan Ravnik, joining the pro lineup could be true.
“A little lavender haze moment for a certain eras tour backup dancer?? 😏.”
Even Jenn Tran — a notable Swiftie and previous “DWTS” contestant weighed in.
“WHAT IN THE SWIFTIE DOES RHIS [sic] MEAN TELL ME RN,” the former “Bachelorette” star wrote, adding, “Okay this is CRAZYYYY.”
The all-new season of “DWTS” premieres Sept. 16 on ABC and Disney+. Already confirmed contestants include wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin, TikTok influencer Alix Earle and “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Whitney Leavitt and Jen Affleck.
Taylor Swift’s ‘So High School’ surges in streams by 400% after Travis Kelce engagement
Taylor Swift’s love song “So High School” has surged in streams on Spotify by nearly 400% in the US since the singer announced her engagement to Travis Kelce, Page Six has learned.
The dreamy ballad — which examines a romance that makes you feel young again — is a track off her April 2024 album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” It was seemingly written about her now-fiancé.
Swifties especially swoon over the line in the song where she sings, “You know how to ball, I know Aristotle,” an apparent nod to Kelce’s football skills and her lyricism.
Swift and Kelce selected the track as the featured song that played on their joint Instagram post, in which they announced the exciting engagement news and shared pics from the proposal.
“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨” they wrote Tuesday, seemingly referencing some of the lyrics from “So High School.”
Following the announcement, many fans took to X to express just how happy they are for the couple — and how they’re listening to the song in celebration.
“I can’t stop myself from listening to ‘So High School’ since yesterday,” one wrote.
“Taylor Swift’s songs always find a way back into the charts, this time ‘So High School’ riding the wave of her engagement news is no surprise!” another added.
A month after “The Tortured Poets Department” was released, the tight end revealed that “So High School” is his favorite song off the album, noting that he “might be a little biased.”
Here’s how long Travis Kelce was planning Taylor Swift’s romantic proposal
Travis Kelce was secretly planning to propose to Taylor Swift for months, Page Six has learned.
A source exclusively tells us Wednesday that the Super Bowl champ began preparing to get down on one knee about six to eight months ago.
We’re told that the timeframe was needed to make sure jewelers had enough time to make the pop star’s one-of-a-kind ring, which “took a while.”
Although it’s unclear if Swift, 35, had any input on what her dream ring would look like, our insider speculates that Kelce, also 35, likely pooled her best pals for some input.
Page Six broke the news that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end asked for the “Lover” singer’s hand in marriage with an old mine brilliant-cut sparkler with Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry.
The elongated stone, which is set on an engraved yellow gold band, could be worth seven figures.
Bad Bunny reacts to speculation that he might be on Taylor Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl” album
Bad Bunny shut down rumors that he might be featured on Taylor Swift’s new album, “The Life of a Showgirl.”
Some fans theorized that the musician could be on Track 11, titled “Honey,” following his appearance in “Happy Gilmore 2.”
In one iconic scene from the Adam Sandler-fronted flick, Bad Bunny slathers honey all over Swift’s beau, Travis Kelce.
When ExtraTV asked him about the rumored collab, the singer said that he “didn’t know anything about that.”
Then, when asked point blank if he was featured on “Honey,” he said, “I don’t think so. No, no, no.”
He did give fans a glimmer of hope, though. When the reporter said, “Maybe one day,” Bad Bunny gave a smirk and a shrug.
This isn’t the only rumor that Kelce’s “Happy Gilmore 2” cameo ignited.
In the scene where he gets slathered in honey, he subsequently gets eaten by a bear. Many Swifties thought the pop star made a secret cameo inside the bear suit.
The singer later shut down the rumors that she played the bear on her “New Heights” podcast debut alongside her now-fiancé and his brother, Jason Kelce.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end got down on one knee in the garden-esque backyard of his Leawood, Kan., estate on Aug. 10, presenting the pop superstar with an old mine brilliant-cut diamond ring that he co-designed with jeweler Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine.
Jason Kelce gushes over Taylor Swift’s nickname for Travis Kelce: ‘Stealing that one’
Jason Kelce gushed over Taylor Swift’s new nickname for her fiancé, Travis Kelce — a “human exclamation point.”
Jason congratulated the couple on their engagement during Wednesday’s episode of the “New Heights” podcast and praised Swift for her record-breaking appearance, where she debuted the sweet name.
The pop star said during the Aug. 13 episode that, “Travis is just a vibe booster in everyone’s life that he’s in. He’s like a human exclamation point. When you take a picture on your phone and you push the enhance color button, that’s what you do to everyone’s life … I use so many more exclamation points.”
Along with praising the “Blank Space” hitmaker for being “brilliant,” “smart” and “funny,” Jason highlighted how much her nickname for Travis meant to him.
“I’m like, listen, nobody knows Travis Kelce and dislikes him. He is the epitome of a great teammate … and there’s just a way about you that you’ve always been a magnetic human being, and you’ve gotten the best out of people and all this stuff,” the former NFL star said of his brother.
“And when she said you were a human exclamation point, I was like, ‘Goddamn.’ Like, she is f–king good with words,” Jason said with a laugh.
“That is such a great way to describe is a great way to describe Travis Kelce. That might be better than Big Yeti, the human exclamation point,” he continued, referencing the nickname Travis was given in college.
“That’s my new nickname for Travis Kelce. Stealing that one.”
This was the first nickname Swift has revealed for her fiancé, but the Kansas City Chiefs star has shared several that he has for her over the years.
Travis called her “Tay” in a November 2023 episode of the podcast and had previously called her “baby” and “sweetie.”
Last December, he also revealed that he refers to the singer as “Tay Tay.”

The “Lover” songstress also shared she’s “always going to be personal” when it comes to her music, adding, “I don’t hold anything back in that category.”

Travis’ dad, Ed Kelce, also spilled the beans, telling Cleveland’s ABC News 5 that the proposal, which Page Six exclusively revealed took place at Travis’ Kansas estate, happened two weeks ago.
“He was going to put it off ’til this week,” he said. “I think she was getting maybe a little antsy, but he was going to put her off ’til this week, to, you know, make some grand thing, to make it a big special event.
“And I told him repeatedly, ‘You know, you could do it on the side of the road, do it any place that makes it a special event … when you get down on one knee and ask her to marry you,'” he added.
Ed said he already knew Travis was planning to propose months in advance, noting that he’s never seen his youngest son happier.
“We actually went to a thing in [Kansas City] Sunday night, which was an ESPN airing of ‘The Kingdom’ and … his mother and I went with him back to his house for dinner, where Taylor made dinner, and we had a wonderful dinner with them outside on the patio and to just watch the two of them, just crazy about each other.
“It’s truly kinda neat,” Ed recalled.
Kelce patriarch Ed also revealed that the three-time Super Bowl champ asked Taylor’s dad, Scott Swift, for her hand in marriage “probably a month ago.”
Several Swifties believe the pair got engaged by the time the Grammy winner appeared on Travis and Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast, which premiered on Aug. 13.
