At the Taylor Swift Eras Tour in Dublin, famous actress Julia Roberts got the chance to meet Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and she did not let it go. Kelce appeared very uncomfortable as the older woman sunk her claws into him during a brief interaction that was caught on camera by a Swiftie.
Watch Julia Roberts get handsy with Travis Kelce
The uncomfortable exchange sparked sympathy for the 34-year-old Kelce. Comments under the video, posted by a fan from Night 3 in Dublin, described the 56-year-old Roberts as a “cougar” for her “scratching” and “clawing” Kelce’s barrel chest.
“Anyone else feel like she’s touching him against his will?” read the top comment on Instagram, which gathered over 6,000 likes for the suggestion that the feeling was not mutual nor consensual.
Julia Roberts’ new hair
There was another factor that made the action seem less innocent, or at least added a layer of intrigue. The Pretty Woman star recently got rid of her iconic red hair, opting for a return to blonde.
She debuted the new look two weeks ago at a Hollywood gala alongside President Joe Biden and longtime friend George Clooney. Sporting the new hair color, Roberts then attended the Eras Tour matching the famous blonde locks of Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift.
What did Julia Roberts say to Travis Kelce?
TikTok lip readers also had their way with the viral footage. In no time, they came to the consensus that Julia said something wholesome along the lines of, “I’m just so happy for you guys,” referring to Taylor and Travis falling in love and enjoying an epic romance over this past year.
Like anything else between Swift and Kelce, the small interaction may get overblown. Kelce did not seem to enjoy the handsy behavior, but it was yet another example of the attention and temptation that follows one of the most high-profile couples in the world.
