Travis Kelce seemed to have the time of his life vibing to the beat and shouting out to a crowd of more than 20,000 at Chris Lake‘s L.A. Historic Park show by Goldenvoice and Framework Friday night (June 19).

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, who’s engaged to Taylor Swift, showed up to night one of Lake’s two special sold-out event, with a source telling Billboard Kelce shared a VIP table with teammates and friends ahead of getting on the mic beside Lake.

At one point, a voice on a track played by Lake — who’s got musical ties to the pop star, as he previously remixed Life of a Showgirl single “Opalite” — could be heard saying, “This is a remix of Taylor Swift.”

In reels from the show shared by concertgoers @mightrave and @bodybybina on Instagram, Kelce’s seen trying to hype the room before letting loose a wild scream over the sound system.

And in clips posted by Framework, who co-produced the event that spanned Friday-Saturday night with Goldenvoice, Kelce’s seen dancing and calling out “1, 2, 3!” to the crowd.

Swift was not present at the show with her fiancé, and was rumored to be wrapping a ladies’ weekend with friends at her Watch Hill property in Westerly, R.I., on Sunday. The pair are, so it seems, set to wed very soon: Swifties wondered if New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani possibly confirmed gossip last week that the couple will tie the knot in Manhattan over Fourth of July. A city official said Mamdani’s comment was just based on TMZ’s report that Swift applied for a permit at Madison Square Garden for the July 4 weekend.

Lake’s show on Friday featured supporting acts Ayybo, Ragie Ban and Kitty. Saturday’s lineup, led by Lake again, also has Hot Since 82, Club de Combat and Strawbry on the bill.

Lake reworked the pure pop of Swift’s “Opalite” into a club-ready track back in January after connecting with Kelce over Instagram DM; the NFL player told him his 2025 album Chemistry was a favorite. In creating his version of Swift’s release, Lake told Billboard in March that he had to figure out how to pair the “vibe and the sentiment of the song with the beats from my world, and make [the remix] make sense as something that would fit amongst other songs from my world without it standing out like a sore thumb.”

““Pretty much 99.9% of all the music I’ve ever played or made in my life is with minor chords,” Lake said. “To work with a vocal that wasn’t written to be used that way was really challenging. That’s the bit I’m actually the most happy with… If you listen to the original and to the feel of how her chorus comes in, it’s very happy and uplifting, whereas in the remix, I don’t know what emotion you’d call it, but maybe it’s sort of hauntingly emotive. It makes you feel a completely different way. Then the way it launches into the drop, I haven’t done that on a remix before. I’m really proud of it.”
