Taylor Swift has returned to social media to congratulate her celebrity bestie after taking a break following the end of the Eras Tour.
For those who’ve been living under a rock, the world has been absolutely captivated by Swift ever since she embarked on her Eras Tour back in March 2023, which came to an end in December 2024 after 149 shows in 51 cities across five continents.
The hugely successful tour became the highest-grossing of all time and the first to earn over $1 and $2 billion in revenue.
The 35-year-old pop star, who hasn’t posted on social media since December 2024 when the mammoth tour came to an end, has taken to Instagram in support of a fellow musician.

The album, I Said I Love You First, was released on Friday (21 March), and Swift was quick to share her thoughts on the record.
Many Swifties took no time at all to slam the way Julia behaved in front of the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback while others were quick to defend her as simply being friendly.
There’s been such a frenzy online concerning the encounter that even a lip-reader and body language expert have weighed in on the matter to share their expertise.
Body language expert, Darren Stanton, told Tyla that Julia came across ‘really tactile’.
“Her hands are on him, with her fingers tickling the top of his chest. She’s more open than he is, but he’s still fairly open and appears to reciprocate her body language,” the expert explained.

At one point in the interaction, Travis can be seen with his hands under Julia’s elbows which, according to Darren, can be considered an ‘intimate’ gesture.
He also added that there seemed to be an ‘instant connection’ between the pair which was ‘certainly’ the case for Julia and reciprocated by Travis.
“He’s not pulling away or doing any facial expressions to say he’s not comfortable,” the expert went on. “He isn’t showing any signs of fear either. It could be that Travis is in a little of awe, but I don’t get that impression.
“He took the meeting in his stride and reciprocated the body language back to her.”
In short, Darren reckons there’s ‘a lot’ of reciprocal liking going on between the two.
Since then, Travis himself has finally addressed the encounter and, hopefully, it will placate all the Swifties in a spiral once and for all.
Speaking on his New Heights podcast today (3 July), the NFL star opened up about what it was like hanging out with the Pretty Woman actor.
“I met Julia Roberts in Ireland, in Dublin,” Travis shared with his dedicated listeners. “That was pretty cool.”
He also revealed that the ‘awesome’ actor was ‘having some fun’ with fellow Hollywood icon Stevie Nicks in the VIP tent during the show.
Gushing about the Fleetwood Mac singer, he added: “She is every bit of whatever everyone makes her out to be.
“She is so awesome. … Some of these people you meet and you’re like, ‘I don’t know what I’m doing here. You are unbelievable … and I am just a jabroni supporting his girlfriend’.
“It’s just so much fun.”
