At a Taylor Swift concert, her brother saw a fan needing help and came to the rescue.
The Eraz Tour has been consistently successful, attracting even the families of Taylor Swift haters to attend.
A fan’s rant over Taylor’s romance with Travis Kelce drew the ire of security.
It was Taylor’s brother, Austin Swift, who came to the fan’s rescue. And yes, there is video.
Why did Taylor Swift’s brother come to a fan’s defense?
According to a video on TikTok, a die-hard Taylor Swift fan was hoping to get Travis Kelce’s attention in the VIP area. Travis made a “surprise” appearance (if he can be considered one at this point) on Taylor’s show.
The fan in question was already wearing a Travis uniform with “87” emblazoned on it. Yes, gloves and helmet are included, as you can see for yourself in the video below.
A security guard approached the fan and insisted that wearing a helmet was “not allowed” and appeared to scuffle with him.
Although Taylor Swift’s security is no joke and there is good reason to secure the area, Austin Swift witnessed this exchange. And he decided that this was too much.
“Hey, let’s not put our hands on people,” Taylor Swift’s brother said, intervening to save the fan from the situation.
“I’m sorry about that,” Austin Swift then told the fan. “It’s a really nice dress.”
Austin Swift saved the day! Well, night
After further exchanges, Austin Swift wished them well, saying: “You guys enjoy the concert. have a great night.”
(She also gave him some guitar picks)
The TikTok resident who uploaded the video captioned: “Austin Swift saved my sister from getting kicked out of Indy” [night 2],
Taylor Swift’s brother coming to a fan’s defense isn’t a huge surprise.
Austin has long had a reputation as an all-around decent guy. He even took off his Yeezy shoes in 2016 to show solidarity with Taylor. This was years before Ye became a full-fledged Nazi.
However, it was a nice exchange. Even the best-intentioned security can risk ruining someone’s night. That doesn’t mean they’re wrong – it just means Austin made the decision above his salary, and thus took responsibility in the event of a fan going crazy wearing some kind of helmet.
No one knew the real Travis Kelce would be there
Travis Kelce is a professional athlete. He exclusively plays soccer, which research tells us is currently in season.
The Eras Tour is still going on, Taylor can’t make every baseball game, and Travis can’t make every concert. But they do what they can.
This means that, when they are able to support each other, it is a gift to their fans. Even fans who may need rescuing by Taylor Swift’s brother.
