Taylor Swift Celebrates 35th Birthday Following Historic Eras Tour Success
A Milestone Birthday After an Extraordinary Year
Taylor Swift is celebrating her 35th birthday on December 13, 2024. The celebration marks the end of a monumental year for the pop star, between wrapping up The Eras Tour — the highest-grossing tour ever — and the release of her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department. The significance of December 13 runs deep in Swift’s persona, as the frequent use of Swift’s birth date, 13, appears in dozens of easter eggs over nearly two decades.
Intimate Birthday Celebration with Travis Kelce
Friday was Taylor Swift’s 35th birthday, and she spent the evening with her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, Page Six reports. A source told the outlet that the couple kept the festivities intimate—”just them two”—but Kelce made the night very special. “He got her a ton of gifts,” said the insider. A source told Us Weekly on December 3 that Swift will “likely” spend the night in New York City, where she went out for her birthday last year, too. “She loves a quaint party with her closest friends,” the source said.
Record-Breaking Achievements in 2024
Swift’s 35th birthday comes just days after the tour concluded on Dec. 8 — less than one week before the musician’s 35th birthday — with a final show in Vancouver. Swift’s Eras Tour cemented itself as the highest-grossing music tour ever by December 2023 by earning more than $1 billion, according to Pollstar. The tour’s impact extended far beyond financial success, as the BBC News estimated 11 million tickets sold across the entire tour.
New Documentary and Looking Ahead
To commemorate her historic tour, the first two episodes of the “The End of an Era,” which goes behind the scenes of Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour from 2023 to 2024, will begin streaming Dec. 12 on Disney+. Just before her birthday, Swift was photographed visiting a children’s hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, the day before her birthday. As the pop icon enters a new year of life, she continues to demonstrate why she remains one of the most influential artists of her generation, balancing record-breaking professional achievements with meaningful personal moments.
