Sam Heughan jokes about stealing Taylor Swift from Travis Kelce ahead of her UK concerts

Sam Heughan, star of "Outlander," recently joked about stealing Taylor Swift's heart from her current boyfriend, NFL player Travis Kelce, as he prepares to attend her concert in the United Kingdom. In a playful behind-the-scenes clip from the "Outlander" set in Scotland, Heughan, dressed as his character Jamie Fraser, humorously claimed that Swift would forget all about Kelce when she sees him at her concert in Edinburgh.


The video shows Heughan in full Highland warrior costume, sharing his excitement about attending Swift's concert along with most of the "Outlander" cast. With a grin, he teased, "How could she resist? She's going to shake him off and take me out instead." The lighthearted comment references Swift's famous song "Shake It Off," and Heughan's playful demeanor makes it clear he’s just having fun.

To add to the humor, the video producers superimposed lyrics from Taylor's song "...Ready For It?" over the clip, enhancing the dramatic and comedic effect of Heughan's joke. The whole bit is meant to be taken lightly and is in no way serious.

Sam Heughan's playful remarks are a good-natured jest rather than a genuine attempt to intervene in Swift and Kelce's relationship. Nonetheless, it's a humorous situation that fans of both the actor and the singer can enjoy.

Taylor Swift, who is set to perform three shows in Edinburgh as part of her "Eras Tour," has been in a relationship with Travis Kelce, and their romance has been in the public eye for some time. Kelce, a star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, has not faced any public challenges to his relationship with Swift until this playful quip from Heughan.

The joke comes at a time when Swift's concerts are highly anticipated events, drawing fans from all over. The idea of a fictional character from "Outlander" humorously competing for Swift's attention adds an entertaining twist to the buzz surrounding her performances.


Heughan's jest highlights the fun and friendly interactions between celebrities and their fans, and it’s likely that both Swift and Kelce will take it in stride. For now, it's all in good fun, and fans can enjoy the playful banter as part of the excitement leading up to Taylor Swift's shows in Scotland.
