Whether it’s flying out between games or catching a tour date mid-season, they’ve learned to sync two totally different worlds.

Calling Taylor’s touring stamina “mind-blowing,” Kelce noted, “I’ve seen what she goes through… the [Eras Tour] floor is literally… a football-field-sized computer… you take that into Singapore… you’re doing a show for three hours with a lot of energy.”
