“Outlander” star Sam Heughan humorously suggested that during the Scottish segment of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, he will charm her into leaving her current partner, Travis Kelce, for him.
Fans of Taylor Swift bubbled with excitement as Sam Heughan, in jest, claimed he would capture Taylor Swift’s heart at her forthcoming Eras Tour show in Scotland.
The beloved Outlander actor shared an amusing video on his Instagram in early June, featuring himself in costume as Jamie Fraser, his iconic character from the Starz series. Although Taylor Swift has taken a brief hiatus from her tour, her agenda remains bustling.
“Oblivious to her fate, when she gazes out into that Scottish audience and catches sight of me, she’ll have no choice but to dismiss… that individual,” Sam said, playfully using ‘that individual’ to allude to Travis Kelce.
“Suddenly finding a man in a red wig simply irresistible—yes, quite the catch,” he added with a wink.
“She’ll decide to ‘Shake It Off’ and go for a highland adventure with me. Can’t wait,” Sam joked while making a heart gesture with his hands.
He added the caption, “Scotland’s arms are wide open, Taylor! JAMMF is a dedicated Swiftie,” hinting at his character’s moniker from Outlander: James Alexander Malcolm Mackenzie Fraser.
Albeit his remarks were in good fun, the passionate response from the overlapping fanbases of Outlander and Taylor Swift lit up the internet following his post.
As Taylor Swift’s song ‘Ready for It’ played in the background, the comment section of the post was abuzz with excitement—one fan proclaimed, “Outlander meets Taylor Swift… my worlds collide,” while another enthused, “SASSENACH SWIFTIES—HOW ARE WE COPING?!”
One sympathetic fan wrote, “@samheughan is the ONLY man I’d forgive Taylor for trading Kelce for,” while someone else added, “This is the crossover I never knew I needed.”
