Taylor Swift was finally able to take part in one of fans’ favorite Eras Tour traditions!

At a party for the pop superstar in Kansas City – a surprise planned by her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, in honor of the end of her record-breaking tour – Kelce presented Swift with the “22” hat and thus reproduced a highly acclaimed performance. Favorite moment of their shows.

Every evening during her tour, the singer strutted down the stage’s huge catwalk Red Press “22” before crouching on the sidelines to present a black fedora to one lucky fan. (Selena Gomez’s sister Gracie and Vanessa and Kobe Bryant’s daughter Bianka were among the recipients during the 149-date tour.)

However, at Swift’s party on Wednesday, she had the opportunity to receive the black fedora herself — this time from Kelce. The moment was captured in a photo shared by Swift’s best friend Ashley Avignone, which she posted to Instagram on Thursday, December 19, with the caption, “And the final 22 hat goes on…”

In another post, Avignone shared several more snaps from the surprise bash, showing off the dozens of Eras Tour references Kelce had assembled for the birthday bash: the fake dry cleaning truck that the “Cruel Summer” singer drove to from her dressing room on the stage, the iconic green capes Swift wore during her performance Always song “Willow” and even the friendship bracelets worn by many of the guests in attendance.

“When she thought she was going to a small, quiet dinner, it was actually a huge surprise party with her friends and family, props included 🥳,” Avignone captioned a carousel of photos she posted to Instagram.

Among the star-studded guests was Brittany Mahomes – dressed in a shimmering silver fringed minidress, which she paired with knee-high boots reminiscent of Swift’s Fearless Era — along with her husband Patrick Mahomes, who wore a suit symbolic of Kelce’s moment on stage during the Eras Tour over the summer.

Chiefs WAG Lyndsay Bell also dressed thematically and showed off one lover Pink fringe ensemble, and Avignone wore a plush snake around her neck in a nod to Swift’s sixth album Callper photos Brittany shared on Instagram.

And while the birthday girl wasn’t dressed in her Eras Tour look — it was a surprise, after all — she still stunned as she donned a $4,290 black halter mini dress from Balmain that featured a crystal accent at the front was.

Earlier this week, to mark Swift’s birthday on December 13, the NFL released a romantic video of the pop star and Kelce – who made their first public appearance as a couple after a Chiefs game in September 2023. The date was also marked by a host of Swift’s Eras tour team, including dancers and band members, who gushed on social media about touring with the Grammy winner for the past two years.

“I hope you experience ten times the love you radiate today!” wrote backup dancer Kam Saunders on Instagram. “For me, for the cast and crew, for your friends and family and for your fans!”

Swift’s longtime bassist Amos Heller wrote, “Happy birthday @taylorswift. I am always grateful that you intertwined my dreams with yours.
