Outlanderâs Sam Heughan has big plans for Taylor Swiftâs performances in Edinburgh, plans which might just include trying to steal her heart from Travis Kelce.
Sam Heughanâs love for Taylor Swift is reaching outlandish proportions.
In a behind the scenes clip from Outlander, the actor behind Jamie Fraser joked that when he and the cast go to see Taylor perform at her upcoming Eras Tour shows in Scotland, he hopes he might be able to steal her from her guy on the Chiefs, Travis Kelce. Because if sheâs a thief, Sam is clearly ready to join the heist.
âShe obviously doesnât know this,â he began in the clip, âbut when she comes to Scotland and she sees me in the audience, sheâs going to forget all aboutâŚhim. And fall for a man in a ginger wig.â
Sam jokingly added, âHow could she resist? Sheâs going to shake him off, and take me out instead.â
The 44-year-old even shared the video to Instagram, captioning the June 5 post, âWelcome to Scotland Taylor!â
But while Taylorâs heart has been captured by Travis for far longer than a fortnight, with lyric references like Samâs, perhaps he can be promoted to Swiftie in chief. Because after all, Travis and Taylorâs love story has already endured for nearly a year.
Just look at the last few months: since Travisâ win at the Super Bowl in February, the NFL star, 34, has joined Taylor, also 34, on a number of shows for the international leg of the Eras tour in addition to a recent romantic coupleâs vacation in Italy.

And on top of spending as much time together as they can, Taylorâs latest album The Tortured Poets Department has enough shoutouts to Travisâlike in songs âAlchemyâ and âSo High Schoolââthat prove their love story is one for the books.
In fact, life has felt like such a touchdown for Travis that when Good Morning America asked him to rate his life on a scale of 1-10 he answered, âMan, 20? 100?â
âIâm so fortunate and so grateful of everything thatâs come my way in life,â he continued during the June 6 interview, later adding, âLivinâ the dream đđđđ˘.â
And to see just how Travis went from fumbling his first opportunity to meet Taylor to kissing at Lake Como, keep reading.

July 2023: So, Make the Friendship Bracelets
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelceâs love story began in July 2023, when the singerâs Eras Tour made a stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it. However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals.
âI was disappointed that she doesnât talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,â Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. âSo, I was a little butt-hurt I didnât get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.â
