Travis Kelce has touched down in Australia to a dramatic reception as he prepares to reunite with Taylor Swift.
Just before 9am on Thursday, a Bombardier Global 6000 plane touched down at Sydney Airport following an overnight trip from Hawaii.
Local news helicopters streamed live footage of Kelce emerging from the jet around 9.15am, where he was joined by a friend, rumoured to be fellow NFL player Ross Travis.
The pair were then whisked away in a silver Mercedes-Benz that was waiting for them on the tarmac.
The aircraft was the number one most tracked flight worldwide during its descent, according to FlightRadar24, with more than 9000 people watching its journey online.
Page Six had earlier reported the Super Bowl champ boarded the private jet on Tuesday (US time) to make the Pacific slog to Australia to attend Swift’s four Sydney shows between Friday and Monday.
It was a busy Tuesday for the man who helped the Kansas City Chiefs to a dramatic Super Bowl victory on February 11 in Las Vegas.
He was first spotted back in Las Vegas playing golf at the Wynn Las Vegas casino resort.
Entertainment website TMZ then reported that Kelce was in Los Angeles on Tuesday night where he had dinner at fancy restaurant Nobu in Malibu.
At 9pm the same evening, he flew to Honolulu in Hawaii for a pit stop. Then it was back in the air and headed to Australia.
Indeed, the jet Swift has been using in Australia flew to Honolulu on Tuesday fuelling speculation it was bound for the island city to pick Kelce up.
However, that jet appears to have then travelled to Seoul in South Korea.
The one that landed in Sydney Thursday morning looked slightly different to the one Swift had been using in Australia.
The NFL star hinted at visiting the superstar in Australia in his podcast New Heights last week, saying he would “venture to an island real soon”.
He also said he would not be appearing on this week’s episode alongside his brother Jason Kelce, leading fans to speculate that he would be in Australia and unable to record the show.
Speaking live on Nine’s Today show on Tuesday morning, Kelce’s dad Ed Kelce said he heard the rumours his son was going to travel south to visit Swift on her Australian tour.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if he does,” he told the morning show hosts.
Kelce last went overseas to see Swift perform in November when he accompanied her on the Argentina leg of her mammoth tour.
The Cruel Summer singer arrived in Sydney on Monday, after finishing her Melbourne leg of her tour.
She was spotted getting on the plane wearing Kelce’s Chiefs Super Bowl Champions hat, as well as a red top and shorts.
She arrived in Sydney just before 1.30pm, after only a roughly 20-minute delay.
The delay was caused by thunderstorms and lighting strikes in the area.
Multiple other domestic flights were delayed.
Swift’s jet pulled into a hangar in the airport, so that she could leave the plane to privately go to her hotel in the city.
After landing, she joined a convoy of cars where she is believed to have been taken to a penthouse at the Crown casino in Barangaroo, in Sydney’s CBD.
However, there are also rumours she’s staying at a private residence in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.
