A crossover between Formula 1 and the pop music world might have just been the start of something epic! When Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Alpine’s Pierre Gasly took their girlfriends to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert in Italy, fans were obsessing over the young couples’ double date. Now, Tay Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce has joined in on the fun with his take on Gasly and Leclerc’s evening at the San Siro Stadium in Milan. Taking to Instagram, the Kansas City chief’s tight end shared his approval of the two F1 stars attending his ladylove’s show with a comment on Pierre’s post.
Credits to his $210 million investment in Alpine Racing, Travis Kelce is a famous name in F1 now. However, the 34-year-old is currently tethered to Formula 1 racers Charles Leclerc and Pierre Gasly through a ‘girlfriend connection’. As is apparent from the recent Instagram posts of Leclerc and Gasly, their girlfriends, Alexandra Saint-Mleux and Kika Cerqueira are fans of Kelce’s partner Taylor Swift. Thus, Alex and Kika turned on their Swiftie charm while visiting the Italian edition of the Eras Tour concerts, and they even took their boyfriends with them, since both Charles and Pierre are currently enjoying a 2 week-long break from their F1 duties ahead of the Hungarian GP.
While Kelce could not make it to Milan for his girlfriend’s concert, he made sure to follow it on social media. When his team’s racer Pierre Gasly shared a snap from the Eras Tour concert and Taylor Swift’s performance clip, Travis Kelce commented, “Yessir!!!“, expressing his delight with fire emojis.
