Social media has been ablaze with discussions about a video featuring Julia Roberts and Travis Kelce at one of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concerts. Heads up—if you’re ever close enough to Swift to strike up a conversation, be prepared to have every word scrutinized, because it seems no chat within the vicinity of the pop star goes unrecorded or unanalyzed by eager lip readers online.
After a lip-reading expert offered their take on what Kelce said to Swift while joining her on stage at London’s Wembley Stadium, attention turned to another video. This time, it was of Julia Roberts and Kelce at Swift’s third and final Eras Tour concert in Dublin, which took place on Sunday (June 30). The video, uploaded by Kelley Farrelly to TikTok on (July 1), quickly went viral. Why the buzz? Well, it appears that Roberts was seen touching Kelce on the chest and arms in a manner that sparked widespread commentary.
The clip shows Roberts casually scratching at Kelce’s chest, rubbing his shoulders, and sharing a laugh, with Kelce reciprocating by holding her arms. Social media didn’t take long to dive into the details of this interaction between the ‘Leave the World Behind’ actress and the NFL star, who is also known for being Swift’s boyfriend.
Reactions varied widely. One fan labeled the interaction “weird,” while another TikToker humorously commented, “Not Julia scratching him like a kitty kat.” Another puzzled user remarked, “First thought: why is that lady pawing at Travis? Realized it’s Julia Roberts then started wondering why Julia Roberts is pawing at Travis Kelce.”
Others took a more light-hearted approach, with one user saying, “It’s giving my best friends wedding vibe, Miss Julia Roberts.” Another added, “Julia Roberts is one of FEW that can get away with this LOVE HER!”

Of course, the amateur lip readers also had their moment, with one TikToker suggesting that Roberts might have said, “‘I am just so happy for you guys.'” Curiosity continued as another chimed in, “Where is the lip reading girl for this? I see ‘so happy for you guys’ but I want all of it lol.” A third speculated, “I’m just so happy for you guys, I know you’re such a sweetheart.”
Beyond the viral moments, the concert was notable for its star-studded VIP tent, which included not just Roberts but also legendary singer Stevie Nicks. Swift even dedicated her song ‘Clara Bow’ to the Fleetwood Mac icon during the show.
