00:12 - Taylor Swift's making her mark on Rio de Janeiro.
00:15 Well, actually, the city's doing it for her,
00:17 projecting the singer's famous Junior Jewels T-shirt
00:20 onto the even more famous Christ the Redeemer statue,
00:24 all ahead of Taylor's three-night
00:25 heiress tour stop in the city.
00:27 (helicopter whirring)
00:30 The statue joins a long list of Swifties
00:34 who've sported recreations of the T since 2008,
00:37 when Taylor first rocked it
00:38 in the "You Belong With Me" music video.

00:50 - So how'd this piece of merch wind up
00:53 on one of the seven wonders of the world?
00:56 First, Rio's mayor said he wanted it to happen,
00:58 but that wasn't enough to make it happen.
01:01 Father Omar, the rector of the Christ the Redeemer sanctuary
01:04 who oversees projections onto the statue,
01:06 said he would only do it if fans collected
01:09 20,000 units of panettone,
01:11 a sweet bread eaten during the holidays, and water.
01:15 And clearly, the Swifties came through.
01:17 - It's been amazing, loving it.
01:20 - Rio's the second stop on the South American leg
01:23 of Taylor's Heiress tour,
01:24 following a three-show stint in Buenos Aires, Argentina,
01:27 which made headlines of its own.

01:36 - Yeah, one night Tay changed up the lyrics in "Karma"
01:39 for her beau, Travis Kelce, who was in the crowd.
01:42 ♪ Karma is the guy on the Chiefs ♪
01:44 ♪ Coming straight home to ♪
01:45 (Taylor screaming)
01:48 - How does it feel to officially be the guy on the Chiefs?
01:53 (Taylor laughing)
01:55 - Well, I might've had a little bit of a clue,
01:57 but definitely when I heard it come out of her mouth,
02:00 still shocked me.
02:00 - I would always like to keep people on their toes
02:04 in that regard.
02:05 - Taylor absolutely ripped it.
02:06 She killed it.
02:07 And it looked like she was having some fun up there.
02:10 - After her stop in Brazil,
02:11 Taylor's expected to repay the favor,
02:13 supporting her NFL boyfriend
02:15 at the Kansas City Chiefs game on Monday night.
02:18 It'll be a relationship milestone,
02:20 a source telling ET their parents
02:22 are expected to meet that same day.
02:25 - Are you ready for it?
02:26 (dramatic music)
02:29 - It's also a Kelce family reunion
02:31 as Travis is facing off against his brother, Jason,
02:34 and his team, the Philadelphia Eagles,
02:37 in a sort of Super Bowl rematch.
02:40 - You know, each one has been my favorite
02:43 at certain times in their lives.
02:46 I can't, you know, as a mother,
02:48 you just can't pick one against the other.
02:50 It's 50/50 and it always will be.
02:52 - A source tells ET Taylor and Travis' fans
02:55 are happy for them and think they're great together.
02:58 Travis and Taylor are having the best time together.
03:00 They're very into each other
03:01 and it is clear to everyone around them.
03:04 - I think they are two very,
03:07 very driven professional individuals
03:10 and they're very supportive of each other, which is key.
03:13 I think they deserve a great friendship with each other.
03:17 And if it ever goes to more than that, who knows?
