When Gracie Abrams joined Taylor Swift onstage to perform their new collaboration, she didn’t want to “Mess It Up” — so Travis Kelce offered to do it for her.

During an appearance on The Morning Mash Up on SiriusXM Hits 1 on Tuesday, July 2, the “Close to You” singer recalled what Kelce told her before they went onstage for surprise appearances at the Eras Tour show at London’s Wembley Stadium.

Before we both went on, we were in the tent, and he was like — he went on right before I did, like, I think two songs or something. He’s like, ‘I’ll mess up so you look really good,’” Abrams, 24, revealed.

“The thing is, is it’s just a community of really supportive people,” she continued of the Eras Tour. “Truly, everyone, whether you’re in the tent or in the top row in the stadium, it’s like everyone is there because there is such deep joy and feeling associated with all of the music that she’s put out over the past 18 years and it’s like, I don’t know. It’s a really magical thing.”
