Taylor Swift will have an especially adoring fan with a plan at one of her performances in Scotland this weekend. Travis Kelce better watch out: Sam Heughan has his sights set on stealing a play from Kelce's own book—and maybe his girlfriend, Swift, in the process too.
In a clip posted to his Instagram account Wednesday, Outlander star Heughan revealed that he and many castmates plan to go together to see Swift perform during her Eras Tour’s upcoming three-night stand in Edinburgh, Scotland from June 7 to June 9. He also revealed that he has a plan to present to Swift for her careful consideration: What if instead of dating Kelce, she paired off with “a man in a ginger wig”—specifically, Heughan—instead.

“She obviously doesn’t know this, but when she comes to Scotland and she sees me in the audience, she’s gonna forget all about,” Heughan pauses significantly here, “him and fall for a man in a ginger wig. How could she resist?”
Heughan, aforementioned wig upon his head, certainly couldn’t resist dropping a Swiftian reference, continuing, “You know, she’s gonna shake him off and take me out instead. I’m really excited.”
He then flashed Swift’s signature heart-hands gesture, which he repeated in emoji form in the post’s caption.
“Welcome to Scotland Taylor! 🏴” he wrote. “JAMMF is a Swiftie 🫶”
For those not in the Scottish time travel know, that would be Heughan’s character, James “Jamie” Alexander Malcolm Mackenzie Fraser. Somehow the couple name “Taymie” just doesn’t have that ring to it, we have to say.
But lest we dash Heughan's dreams, just remember: A man named Travis Kelce showed up at an Eras Tour date less than a year ago with a friendship bracelet and a dream, and look at him now.
A representative for Taylor Swift did not immediately return Vanity Fair's request for comment.
