Travis Kelce shared some high praise for Taylor Swift’s backup dancer Kameron Saunders.
Kelce, 35, left a sweet comment on Saunders’ post on Saturday, Oct. 4 after fans were delighted to see the Eras Tour dancer (and brother to Kelce’s former teammate Khalen Saunders) in Swift’s film The Life of a Showgirl.
Saunders appears in the film’s video for “The Fate of the Ophelia” when he hands the singer a lit match before she tosses it onto a fire. In the video clip Saunders shared on Instagram, the crowd in a Paris theater excitedly screamed when their fan-favorite dancer made his cameo.
In a comment on Saunders’ post, Kelce wrote, “You killed it as always Kam!!”
Saunders captioned his post, “Got a DM from an incredible fan, @bynoemieg, of @iamtheolemos’s story from the premiere in Paris… ummm Paris… WTF! this scream was thunderous! 🤯😳”
Saunders called the reaction to his cameo “so generous” and “so humbling” in his post. “I love yall and this sooooo much! THANK YOU for loving me back! ❤️🔥,” he concluded.
Fans fell in love with Saunders’ energy during Swift’s Eras Tour, and were delighted to learn that his brother Khalen played alongside Swift’s fiancé in the NFL, calling it the “invisible string” between Swift and Kelce (in a nod to her song from her 2020 album folklore).

Kelce and Saunders have also shared the Eras Tour stage, when Kelce surprised fans by appearing alongside him and Swift during one of her shows in London. At the time, Saunders praised Kelce for stepping up during the big moment.
“Trav.. I had the time of my life being an absolute HAM with you on stage. 😂😂😂,” he wrote in a caption after the show in June 2024.
“This was such a full circle moment for me,” he continued. “I have been to countless Chiefs games with my family over the years to support my baby brother. Three of those 4 years he was with the Chiefs we went to the Super Bowl and won twice… ABSOLUTE LEGACY!!! 😮💨 And now for you and I to share the biggest stage in the world with boss lady… full circle! The Saunders family loves you, Trav! (Including our mom LMAO) thank you for your heart and kindness and goofiness 😂.”
