Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne soaks up Taylor Swift’s Louisiana concert vibes; misses in-person encounter with idol due to illness
Paul Skenes' girlfriend, Olivia Dunne, is a big fan of Taylor Swift. She got her wish fulfilled when the musician's concert tour came to Louisiana. However, for some reason, not only did she miss the concert but also an in-person meeting with the pop star.
On Sunday, the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans was jam-packed for the third and final night of Swift's The Eras Tour. Livvy and Skenes were all set to attend the concert. The LSU gymnast was even dressed up, posting snaps that she took on her way to the Superdome.
However, midway into the concert, Olivia Dunne posted a snap crying, saying she had to go back to her residence as she was feeling sick. She also mentioned that she was supposed to meet Taylor Swift in person, but due to sickness, her chance of meeting her could no longer materialize.
"crying because I'm too sick to stay to see Taylor," Dunne wrote.
Olivia Dunne reveals Travis Kelce's kind gesture to help her and Paul Skenes visit Taylor Swift's concert
Taylor Swift's concerts are always in high demand, as tickets can range from $1,000 to $10,000. However, Kansas City Chiefs tight end and Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, assured Olivia Dunne to contact him if she and her boyfriend, Paul Skenes, ever need tickets to her concerts.
Dunne recalled the gesture on LSU basketball star Flau'jae Johnson's "Best of Both Worlds" podcast.
"I’m a certified Swiftie,” Livvy told Johnson. “And also Travis Kelce’s super nice … he's the man, like he's a good guy.
“He was so chill. He was at one of the photo shoots I was at this summer and he was like, ‘Well, if you or Paul ever need tickets to a Taylor concert or need a hookup, just let me know.’ I was like, ‘Are you kidding me?’”
This comes after earlier this year, Olivia Dunne and Travis Kelce collaborated on a commercial for Accelerator Active Energy.
Dunne is preparing for the upcoming college gymnastics season, which will be her fifth and final with the LSU Tigers. In April, the Tigers won their first NCAA title in gymnastics, and to double it down, the social media star, along with Haleigh Bryant, Sierra Ballard, Chase Brock and Alyona Shchennikova, are all returning to defend the title.
