DUBLIN, IRELAND: Julia Roberts caused a stir among fans when she was seen holding onto Travis Kelce during Taylor Swift's third and last Dublin Eras Tour performance. The 56-year-old actress joined other celebrities at Swift's highly anticipated Dublin concert on June 30. 

However, it was Roberts' connection with Swift's boyfriend Kelce that sparked debate among Swifties.

A TikTok user, @kellyfarrelly, captured a viral video online depicting the interaction between Roberts and Kelce.

In the video, Roberts could be seen engaged in conversation with Travis while holding onto his shoulders, as per DailyMail.



 

The affectionate exchange seemed mutual, with the NFL player warmly rubbing the actress's arms and wearing a smile. However, some social media users deemed the interaction highly inappropriate. Despite being married to cinematographer Danny Moder since 2002, Roberts further engaged with Kelce by grabbing his arms and saying something that caused him to burst into laughter

Kelce attended Swift's last Aviva Stadium show following his attendance at a teammate's wedding in California the night before. Swifties speculated that the athlete surprised the pop star, who appeared visibly stunned upon spotting him in the audience.

During Taylor's final concert in Ireland, she performed 'Clara Bow' for the first time and dedicated the song to her 'hero' Stevie Nicks, as per PageSix. The video featuring Roberts and Kelce caused a stir among fans who were captivated by the high-profile interaction.

They commented, "Julia Roberts loves the Big Yeti, Travis Kelce... If that was anyone other than Pretty Woman herself, playing around with Trav I would be legit mad."
