Lil Wayne Halts Concert to Congratulate ‘My Girl’ Taylor Swift on Travis Kelce’s Engagement

Lil Wayne wholeheartedly celebrated Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s recent engagement announcement.

During his Tuesday night performance on August 26 in Kansas City, the rapper paused to extend his congratulations to the Chiefs tight end and the global pop superstar, in a moment that went viral. “I’m repping my man Travis and my girl Taylor,” Weezy declared to the crowd at T-Mobile Arena, adding, “I’m dressed in full spirit for these two.”

He then coined the couple’s new moniker, exclaiming, “Traylor!” as he shaped a heart with his hands and the audience erupted in cheers. “Congratulations to the happy duo,” he enthused.

This touching tribute arrived just hours after Swift and Kelce shared their engagement news online, publishing intimate photos of the proposal and the 14-time Grammy winner flaunting her diamond ring. “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” they captioned the announcement.

Weezy’s salute highlights the overwhelming excitement across social media, reflecting the flood of congratulatory messages pouring in for the couple. Remarkably, despite previously calling out the Chiefs in January for alleged on-field “cheating,” Wayne’s admiration for Kelce remains unwavering.

“I hate the cheating Chiefs,” the rapper had tweeted earlier this year. “It’s no feat if you win by cheating. Just win fair and square, baby.”

Kelce responded with good humor on his New Heights podcast, grinning as he said, “Shout out to Tunechi, man.”

The tight end has also been vocal about his respect for Wayne. In a 2024 interview with Billboard, Kelce professed, “Weezy has been one of my favorites since high school. I’m all about the mixtape era—‘Duffle Bag Boy’ is on every one of my game-day playlists.”
