Taylor Swift shared one of the most intimate moments of her personal life with her fans. In the sixth and final episode of the docuseries Taylor Swift: The End of an Erareleased on December 23, 2025on Disney+, the artist reads to romantic letter from Travis Kelceher fiancé, on camera, sent to her before her final three shows in Vancouver in December 2024.
The scene shows the 36-year-old singer-songwriter backstage, sitting next to a large bouquet of white roseswith her mother, Andrea Swiftsilently accompanying her. It is there that the singer begins to read the message from the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, a smile slowly spreading across his face.

“I saw online that this guy came to your show, wore a friendship bracelet, and wanted to meet you,” Andrea recalls in the episode. “So I called my resident Kansas City Chiefs expert, my cousin Robin, and asked her, ‘Tell me abo
