00:21 and we're kicking things off
00:23 with Taylor Swift's time in Argentina.

00:35 This is Tetris Kelly reporting for your Heiress Tour update.
00:38 (crowd cheering)
00:41 How sweet.
00:44 In a viral clip we've seen from multiple angles,

00:49 after her show and gave him a kiss.
00:52 The chiefs player flew all the way to Argentina
00:54 to catch her Heiress Tour

01:00 Taylor even shouted him out from the stage
01:02 changing her lyrics in "Karma" to say,
01:04 "Karma is the guy on the chiefs
01:06 "coming straight home to me."
01:08 - Karma!
01:09 - Karma is the guy on the chiefs.
01:10 - Coming straight home to me.
01:12 - As the internet, her dancers, and even Travis fell apart.
01:17 And lastly, Taylor's mostly avoided things
01:19 being thrown at her, but now that it's happened,
01:21 she addressed the crowd.
01:23 - It really freaks me out
01:24 when stuff gets thrown on the stage.
01:26 Because if it's on the stage,
01:29 then a dancer can trip on it.
01:31 I love that you brought presents,
01:32 and that is so nice,
01:33 but just can you please not throw them on the stage?
01:36 I love you so much.
01:37 - Handled like the pro she is.
01:39 We'll continue to follow this tour very closely

01:45 and we love to see her kill it on the charts.
