Why Was Julia Roberts Tickling Travis Kelce in the VIP Tent?
For over a year now, Taylor Swift has been housing all walks of celebrities — and, by extension, celebrity drama — in the VIP tent of her global Eras Tour. It was where Keith Urban accidentally spilled the beans on Phoebe Bridgers and Bo Burnham dating (or, at the very least, platonically making out at a Taylor Swift concert). It was also where Travis Kelce was first seen hanging out with Swift’s dad, Scott. But this weekend in Dublin, something freaky happened in the Eras VIP tent, and it shockingly had nothing to do with Tom Cruise. No, Julia Roberts was seen tickling (?) Kelce’s chest, in an apparent sign that nothing good can come of putting so many A-listers in one confined space.
After a weekend of performing in London for a crowd that included Prince William, Paul McCartney, Hugh Grant, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Swift hopped over to Dublin, where she seemed genuinely surprised by Kelce’s mid-concert arrival in the tent on Sunday. (He apparently hustled over after a wedding in California.) Another surprising thing that happened: Roberts, who was also in the tent, was filmed chatting with Kelce while rubbing his shoulders and moving her fingers around his chest in a sort of tickling-adjacent motion. Perhaps she needed to wiggle her fingers a lot to keep the blood circulating with the number of friendship bracelets piled onto her wrists, or was helping him itch his … nipples? Sorry, but that’s all I’ve got.
Some commenters accused Roberts of being overly handsy, but Kelce seems to have weathered the interaction all right. Still, perhaps Kelce would be safer if he spent less time in the tent and more time on the stage? That’s certainly what the fans want.
