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

Lil Wayne is loving Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s love.

At his Tuesday night (Aug. 26) concert — which just so happened to be in Kansas City — the rapper took a moment during the show to congratulate the Chiefs tight end on his recent engagement to the pop superstar. “I’m dressed in spirit,” Weezy said. “In the spirit of my man Travis and my girl, you already know, Taylor.”

“Traylor!” Wayne continued, holding up a hand heart as his crowd at T-Mobile Arena loudly cheered. “That’s what we call them. Congratulations.”

The sweet moment came just hours after Swift and Kelce broke the internet with the announcement of their engagement, posting photos of the athlete down on one knee and the 14-time Grammy winner showing off her new diamond ring. “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” they wrote in the caption.

Wayne’s shoutout proves that — just like the millions of fans who also flooded social media with messages of congratulations following the announcement — he only has love for Kelce, regardless of how the hip-hop icon feels about the Chiefs. Months after performing at the athlete’s Kelce Jam festival, Wayne slammed the Kansas City for allegedly “cheating” on the field in January.

“I hate the cheating azz chiefs,” Wayne wrote at the time. “It’s not even impressive when u cheat and then clearly try to cheat … Just win baby.”

Shortly afterward, Kelce responded on his New Heights podcast. “Shout out to Tunechi, man,” he simply said at the time, a big smile on his face.

The Grotesquerie star has also previously praised Weezy. In separate 2024 interviews with Billboard, Kelce called the rapper “one of my favorites since I was in high school” and said, “I’m a huge mixtape era guy. ‘Duffle Bag Boy’ is like one of my favorite songs of all time. I have it on my gameday playlists and everything.”
