Watch travis kelce sweetly hype up taylor swift as they leave dublin eras tour show together.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Travis Kelce is a professional hype man.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end adorably hyped up Taylor Swift as they left her Dublin Eras Tour performance together Sunday night after her third show.

As the couple made their way through Aviva Stadium, Kelce jogged a short distance in front of her to pause and direct his arms in her direction to have the audience to shriek and applaud even louder than they already were, according to footage posted on social media.

The “Ready for It” singer, 34, soaked up the moment before skipping to catch up and link arms with her beau.

Kelce, 34, rushed from California , where he had attended his teammate Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s wedding, to make it in time for Swift’s final show in Ireland. The athlete tucked into the VIP section where he was seen hanging out with celebrity guests Julia Roberts, Stevie Nicks and “Bridgerton” actress Florence Hunt.

Swifties have become convinced that Kelce genuinely surprised the “Blank Space” performer with his arrival because of her spontaneous huge grin while singing “August.”

The devoted fan group captured “the exact moment her eyes go to the tent and she realize[d] he [was] there” in a  viral X video .

The Grammy winner appeared to point at “the guy on the Chiefs” as she sang, her face lighting up. In  additional fan footage , Kelce appeared to react to her glee with a wave.

Swift and Kelce  began dating  in July 2023 and  took their relationship public  two months later when the pop star attended one of his football games. Following the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory in February, the “Catching Kelce” alum has become a staple at his girlfriend’s shows — all while making A-list friends along the way.

He most recently made headlines for  attending all three of her London concerts  last month following an appearance at the Cannes Lions festival in France where he talked about the Swifties’ effect on his and his brother Jason’s “New Heights” podcast.

Jason, 36, shared at Stagwell Sport Beach that he loves that their podcast is allowing girls “to get involved in a sport where previously there wasn’t much interest,” while also bringing dads and daughters together.

The retired Philadelphia Eagles player – who  shares three daughters , Wyatt, Elliotte and Bennett, with his wife, Kylie – gushed that their podcast allows worlds to “collide, which is awesome.”

Taylor Swift, Dublin night 2 review: Fans star as Eras tour lights up the Aviva

Taylor Swift on stage at the Aviva stadium where she began her concert with a medley of songs from the Lovers Era. Picture: Chani Anderson

The last time Taylor Swift was in Dublin came at one of the lowest ebbs in her seemingly ever-ascendant career. Two nights at Croke Park, just over six years ago, were far from sold out, coming off the back of the mixed reception to Reputation . 

Since then, there have been five new studio albums and four vaunted ‘Taylor’s Versions’ rerecords of her older albums, That’s a rough total of 225 songs, new and old, since Swift was last in Ireland. It’s a lot to digest, maximalist fan service.

And yet she’s never been bigger. All those albums, bar 2019’s Lover , came out post-March 2020, when the pandemic left us desperate for live shows (Swift notes as much on Saturday night). We all entered different, er, eras - Swift’s saw her change sound and recruit The National’s Aaron Dessner as co-producer for folklore/evermore . New fans and renewed critical acclaim followed. 

Her first stadium tour since Reputation , The Eras Tour began in March 2023 and was a sensation across the US last year. It’s the highest-grossing tour in history, the first to pass $1bn. Simply put, Taylor Swift returns to Dublin the biggest act on the planet. 

Now, she could have done a week of sold-out Croke Park shows. Instead she’s settled for three nights at the 50,000-capacity Aviva Stadium. Home to the Ireland men’s soccer and rugby teams, it has probably never seen such joy as this weekend’s trio of gigs (apologies to Stephen Kenny). Sequins, pink cowboy hats, glitter, gems colourful cowboy boots, and bracelets - so many beaded friendship bracelets - are the order of the day, inside and outside the venue.

And everybody knows what’s coming after Paramore (what an interesting career Hayley Williams has had) complete support duties: Swift’s show lasts over three hours and 15 minutes, takes in more than 44 songs, and stretches as far back as her hopeful second album Fearless , pulling tracks from across her Eras. Everyone has their own favourites they’re counting down to (well, after ‘All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version)’) and the ones they’re planning the toilet break for. 

We knew 1989 was full of bangers but the way it follows the folklore/evermore era - a bit of a yawn during the show, to be honest - make 'Style', 'Blank Space', and 'Shake it Off' sound like the best songs in the world by comparison. Of course, Swift released her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department , in April. It sounded like she was coasting. Live, the songs are fine, 'Who's Afraid of Little Old Me', with its moving podium, is the highlight.

As for Taylor Swift herself, she's magnetic, strutting down the walkway that divides the pitch. There's nobody better at pointing, she extols the virtues of Ireland (particularly how folklore just feels like an album written here), and you simply can't look away from her, even though it feels like there are times when she is giving it less than she could. 

She butters us up too, explaining during the folklore era: "I just think that all the themes in folklore , how I imagined the album world looking — Ireland, storytelling, lots of different characters. You guys have that on lock too, that's very Irish, the storytelling. When I was making the album, it was two days into the pandemic that I started writing folklore , and I wasn't in Ireland, so I had to create an album where the imaginary world that I pretended to go every single day when I was writing it, gotta be honest, it kinda seemed like Ireland. So we're back where we belong. Conceptually, folklore , we can all agree, just belongs with you guys." 

But it’s the fans who are the star of the show. It’s incredibly loud from the start and never lets up. The 'Cruel Summer' bridge ("I love you ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?") is incredible. 'Love Story' is beautiful.

The cry of ‘fuck the patriarchy’ from ‘All Too Well’ is life-affirming. The cheer after the ho-hum 'Champagne Problems' was something else, though. It's unbelievable. A security guard agrees that he's never heard anything like it before. There's nothing like the cries of a pop audience. If only we could bottle it up.

Like Marvel fans predicting/dissecting end-credit sequences, the ‘surprise songs’ that precede the Midnights closing segment are feverishly anticipated. Friday night got ‘Sweet Nothing’, namechecking Wicklow. Saturday got a song she says she's never done live before — 'The Albatross', with a little bit of 'Dancing with our Hands Tied' thrown in for good measure, 'This Love', and 'Ours'.

The Eras Tour finishes up at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday night and is set to wrap up in Canada in December. The millions of fans who experienced it will never forget it. Like Taylor Swift sings on '22', it feels like a perfect night.

Taylor Swift tells staff 'We need some help' for fan at Ireland Eras Tour show

The open, no-seating-assignments floor for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concerts is still proving to be a challenge for fans in need of assistance.

"We need some help over there," Swift said near the end of her song "Lavender Haze" on Friday night in Dublin, Ireland. "I see that you've got it. Great. Everyone who works in this stadium is amazing."

The brief pause alerted responders to make sure Swifies on the packed floor of Aviva Stadium were OK . The singer handed off her microphone to dancer Raphael Thomas while her other dancer Jan Ravnik grabbed her purple "Karma" coat.

"I just want to stay in that lavender haze," she sang on cue before transitioning seamlessly into her song "Anti-Hero."

The singer-songwriter has notably spoken up along her European leg, because fans don't have chairs with a specific spot. They crowd close to the diamond catwalk and to avoid losing their spot by using the restroom, fans don't drink as much water.

In Scotland , the singer noticed a fan needed help and strummed her guitar until assistance arrived.

"I’m just gonna keep playing until someone notices them," she said. "I can do this all night."

In London , she asked for assistance during several songs.

"We need some help right at the end of the ramp just where they're waving," she said. The interruptions mostly happen during songs from the "Folkmore" (combined "Folklore"/"Evermore" set), "Red" and "1989" sets.

Security guards lining the stage pass out free cups of water. When fans really need help, they yell from the floor or flash their cell phone lights at the singer.

Swift has one more show in the Irish capital before heading to Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Taylorwatch: Dublin pub says ‘great to welcome’ Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce after three Aviva gigs

The weekend-long celebrity-filled celebration of swiftness has passed but the memories remain.

Whether you won the Taylor Swift ticket lottery or not, the reigning Queen of Pop was hard to avoid at the weekend, playing three triumphant concerts at Dublin ’s Aviva Stadium and spreading immense joy in the process. Were you among the lucky 150,000 fans who saw Taylor in person? If so, you were in famous company, joining Julia Roberts , Stevie Nicks , Graham Norton and Swift’s sports star boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

Those who were even more fortunate may have even managed to spot Swift and her entourage after her final Irish gig on Sunday as they reportedly retired to Dublin bar, Hacienda on Little Mary Street in Dublin 7.

The bar posted on Facebook on Monday to say it had welcomed Swift alongside Kelce, her musicians, dancers, supporting act Paramore and “the legendary Stevie Nicks” following Swift’s three-night, sold-out stint at the Aviva.

“It was such a warm and genuinely friendly night, we did not request our ‘usual’ Hacienda photo so as to allow Taylor and friends the chance to properly relax and enjoy their well-deserved time off,” the Facebook post said.

My three nights at Taylor Swift cost me €47 an hour. Cheaper than therapy

The Hacienda on Little Mary Street in Dublin is a popular spot among celebrities visiting Ireland, with Olivia Rodrigo having dropped in after playing the 3Arena at the end of April, and Teddy Swims popping in after his one of his gigs in the 3Olympia earlier this year.

Back with the gigs, Irish celebrity fans were out in force on Friday.

Cork-born TV presenter Norton and a back-from-London radio host Ryan Tubridy were among those in the crowd, with both men gamely wearing the ultimate Swiftie fan accessory of friendship bracelets.

Norton posted a picture on Instagram of his right arm bedecked in a number of colourful bands.

Tubs, meanwhile, posted a concert clip online and said that it was a “stadium full of love”. He also posed a picture of himself wearing friendship bracelets with the caption – “So this is happening.”

Former Irish rugby internationals Brian O’Driscoll , Johnny Sexton and Rory Best also attended the gig.

O’Driscoll was joined by his wife, actor and writer Amy Huberman , while Sexton attended with his wife Laura Sexton and their children. Best attended with his wife Jodie Bell.

Sexton shared a picture online of him holding hands with his daughter as they walked in to the packed stadium which he tagged “this is retirement”.

Amy Huberman posted a shot of former rugby internationals Sexton, O’Driscoll and Best and said “they used to be swift enough in the Aviva themselves says you”.

Over the course of the rest of the weekend, a host of other Irish and global celebrities took to the Aviva to see Swift in action, including golfer Shane Lowry , who attended with his wife Wendy Lowry and their daughter, Westlife star Nicky Byrne, Virgin Media presenter Karen Koster, Ireland AM star Muireann O’Connell, former RTÉ 2FM presenter Doireann Garrihy with her fiance Mark Mehigan and Six O’Clock show presenter Katja Mia.

Arguably more notable stars in the VIP tent at Sunday’s show included Hollywood actress Julia Roberts, that guy who won the Super Bowl (aka Travis Kelce – aka Swift’s boyfriend), and Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks.

Swift had an adorable reaction to noticing Kelce from the stage on Sunday, during her song august.

She also sang Clara Bow live for the first time ever on Sunday, as Nicks is mentioned in the lyrics. Swift said that she wanted to sing it because Nicks was in attendance.

Local lingo by her dancers

One of Swift’s dancers, Kameron Saunders, who is known for using local lingo instead of the “like ever!” line in the recorded version of We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together dependent on which city the tour is playing in, delivered a few belters to the Dublin crowd, including “póg mo thoin” on Friday night.

On Saturday night, Saunders shouted “the neck of ye” and on Sunday, he said, “bleedin’ eejit”.

Saunders also posted a video lip syncing the original audio to “the neck of ye” which went viral a while back, to his Instagram stories following the concert.

Clara O’Sullivan, an eight year old girl from Ladysbridge in Co Cork, was at the Eras tour on Sunday night with her aunt Stephanie Skierka when a member of Swift’s team approached them mid concert asking them to come with her.

O’Sullivan was then taken to the stage as Swift began singing her hit song 22, which happens to be O’Sullivan’s favourite, and Swift gave her a hat she had been wearing and signed it, a tradition that happens at every concert in the tour for a lucky fan who is chosen.

“We were dancing our heads off so then after a song, Love Story, I got chosen and then I was like, no idea what was happening and then I just got the hat,” O’Sullivan said, while speaking to PJ Coogan on the Cork’s 96FM Opinion Line on Monday morning.

The hat, signed by Swift, says Taylor Swift Dublin Eras Tour 2024.

Her aunt, Skierka, said that O’Sullivan has not taken off the hat since she got it, and when Skierka suggested putting it in a glass box, O’Sullivan swiftly said, “no,” because she wants to show her friends.

Locally sourced gloves

Irish glove designer Paula Rowan said meanwhile that she is “delighted and truly honoured” that Taylor Swift has opted to wear her white Aida leather gloves for the Tortured Poets Department Section of her Eras tour.

The designer, whose business is based in the Westbury Mall off Balfe Street in Dublin, says she is really grateful to Swift for donning her designs.

“Taylor Swift is one of the world’s best selling artists with a huge reach and influence in both the music industry and popular culture. Artist, businesswoman and philanthropist, she really is an inspiration and role model to all. Thank you to all involved.”

Swift isn’t the only superstar to wear gloves designed by Rowan, with Madonna, Cher, Beyoncé and Dua Lipa also sporting her creations which are handmade in Italy. Her gloves have also been worn in the HBO series And Just Like Like That starring Sarah Jessica Parker.

The Dublin designer also supplied gloves for Lady Gaga when she played the lead role in the House of Gucci. Her pieces have also been worn by Kate Middleton, Helen Mirren and Kate Moss.

The glove designer designed her first glove collection fifteen years ago and describes her creations as “couture for the hands.”

Taylor arriving

But where is Taylor now? Aviation enthusiasts were all over her arrival into Ireland on Thursday, but her departure date is as yet unclear.

On Thursday night, Shaun Dunne, aviation enthusiast, posted from his account on X, formerly Twitter, @shauns_aviation , to say that he would be going plane spotting around 12pm on Friday, and would likely listen to some Taylor Swift music while doing so.

And that he did, posting a video of the airport’s viewing point on Friday morning, with Swift’s hit song Shake it Off playing in the background.

At 12.16pm, Dunne tweeted that “she is down”.

Further to this, an account on social platform Bluesky, called Taylor Swift’s Jet’s (Tracking) , corroborated Dunne’s suspicion that it was in fact Swift’s jet, with it posting that her plane landed at 11.56am, after taking off from London Stansted Airport at about 11am.

Eras tour dancers land early

Ahead of the arrival of Swift herself, some of her dancers were in Dublin.

One of the Eras tour dancers, Sam McWilliams , posted an Instagram story on Wednesday night of him at a Troye Sivan concert, that looked suspiciously like the Troye Sivan concert that took place in Dublin’s 3Arena that evening.

Usually, many performers wait until they are leaving a city or country before posting about it. Unless you are McWilliams of course, who clearly loves Sivan and wanted to share it immediately with his eagle-eyed followers who are eager to track Swift’s every move.

Kameron Saunders, another of Swift’s better-known dancers, also reposted an Instagram story from Benjamin Williams, a dancer on tour with Troye Sivan, expressing his gratitude that Saunders went to the concert. Saunders reposted the story, a picture of the pair of them, saying that “the entire concert was WILDDDDD”.

Celebrities out in force in London

Swift came to Dublin fresh from her three-night stint at London’s Wembley Stadium last weekend, which was also attended by an almost ridiculous number of celebrities.

So who of note did go to see Swift in Wembley last weekend? And Don’t Blame Me, but this list is long:

Travis Kelce , American football player who won the Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs but who also so happens to be Swift’s boyfriend, not only attended all three shows in Wembley, but joined her on stage on Sunday as a dancer.

Prince William also attended her concert with his two eldest children, and met Swift and Kelce afterwards, with Swift posting a photo on Instagram.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift)

What arguably garnered more attention, however, is the future King’s dance moves captured on video during the concert. But sure look, at least he enjoyed himself.

Tom Cruise , Mila Kunis , Ashton Kutcher and Hugh Grant were also reportedly spotted in Wembley on Saturday night.

Barbie director Greta Gerwig was also there, reports say.

On Friday, Galway woman, Derry Girls and Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan was in attendance, as were fellow actors Salma Hayek and Leslie Mann.

Zara and Mike Tindall, Erin Andrews, Charissa Thompson and Stella McCartney were also there.

Labour leader Keir Starmer , model Cara Delevingne and Queer Eye’s Jonathan van Ness were also spotted at the concert on Friday.

American actor Rachel Zegler, known for her roles in West Side Story and The Hunger Games prequel, also attended the concert on Saturday, posting on X afterwards.

The Hunger Games actor Liam Hemsworth was also reported to be in attendance at Wembley.

Ellie Goulding, Gracie Abrams – who released a song called Us featuring Swift on Friday, June 21st – were in attendance on Sunday.

Veteran rock stars Paul McCartney and Jon Bon Jovi were also spotted at the concert on Sunday.

Luzhniki Stadium

Club: none | Opening: 1956 | Capacity: 81,006 seats

History and description

Luzhniki Stadium, initially called Central Lenin Stadium, was built between 1955 and 1956. It was the result of the ambition of the Soviet leadership to upgrade the country’s sports facilities after the Soviet Union had tasted its first post-war successes at the 1952 Olympics.

Works on Luzhniki Olympic Complex started in 1954 and construction of its centrepiece stadium, also called the Grand Sports Arena, in 1955. The stadium got finished in just 450 days and officially opened on 31 July 1956.

Luzhniki Stadium served as the centrepiece stadium of the 1980 Olympics, hosting the opening and closing ceremonies, athletics events, football finals, and equestrian programme.

In 1982, a stadium disaster took place at the stadium during a second round UEFA Cup match between FC Spartak and Dutch side HFC Haarlem. In the dying seconds of the match, people started rushing for the exits to make it to the metro before the rest of the crowd. When someone fell on the icy staircases, chaos ensued, and the resulting crush and domino effect killed 66 people.

Until the 1990s, the roofless stadium could hold just over 100,000 spectators. In 1996, the stadium got extensively renovated, which included the construction of a roof over the stands and the refurbishment of the seating areas, which resulted in a decrease of capacity.

In 1999, Luzhniki Stadium hosted the UEFA Cup final between Parma and Marseille (3-0), and in 2008 the Champions League final between Manchester United and Chelsea (1-1).

The stadium was regularly used by Spartak Moscow, lacking a home of their own, until they moved to the newly built  Otkritie Arena  in 2014.

When Russia got awarded the 2018 World Cup , it was soon clear that Luzhniki Stadium would host the final and as a result had to undergo a large redevelopment. It hosted its last football match in May 2013 and closed following the IAAF Athletics World Championships in August 2013.

Redevelopment works entailed the complete reconstruction of the stands, adding a second tier, the removal of the running tracks, and an expanded roof structure. The characteristic exterior of the stadium was left intact. Works were completed in the summer of 2017, and the first football match at the reopened stadium, a friendly between Russia and Argentina (0-1), was played on 11 November 2017.

During the 2018 World Cup, Luzhniki hosted the opening match, three more first round group matches, a round of 16 match, the semi-final between Croatia and England (2-1), and the final between France and Croatia (4-2).

How to get to Luzhniki Stadium

Luzhniki Stadium is located on the Luzhniki Sports Complex, an area of sports facilities and park land in a bend of the Moskva River about 6 kilometres south-west of Moscow’s city centre.

The stadium can be reached with the red metro line 1. Station Sportivnaya, or alternatively Vorob’yovy Gory, both lie within short walking distance of the stadium. Line 1 directly connects with Moscow’s city centre, and the ride from either Okhotny Ryad or Biblioteka takes no more than 10 minutes.

Luzhniki Stadium lies practically adjacent to Moscow’s Third Ring Road. If arriving by car, orientate yourself with regards to the Moscow River and take the first exit after crossing the Moscow River at the bend where the stadium is located.

Address: Luzhnetskaya naberezhnaya 24, Moscow

Eat, drink, and sleep near Luzhniki Stadium

Luzhniki forms part of the Luzhniki Sports Complex and is surrounded by other sports facilities and parks. Its location right on the river Moskva is pleasant on a summer’s day, but there is little around in terms of eating and drinking, which can therefore better be done in central Moscow.

If you’re into a bit of culture though, the nearby Novodevichy Convent is well worth a visit, while the Moscow State University building on the opposite side of the Moskva river is one of Moscow’s best-known landmarks.

There are a few hotels to choose from if you want to stay close to Luzhniki Stadium, most near Sportivnaya metro station, e.g.  Yunost Hotel , Business Hotel Spektr , Olimp Hotel and Blues Hotel .

Kanye West's Alleged Arrival In Russia With Wife Bianca Censori Raises Eyebrows

Kanye West has allegedly arrived in Moscow to celebrate the birthday of a Russian designer.

The Grammy-award-winning rapper reportedly made the trip with wife Bianca Censori . It is the latest in their couple's vacations, which have included stops in Paris, Dubai, and Tokyo.

Russian media have been celebrating Kanye West's arrival in Moscow, with rumors of a concert in autumn; however, his alleged trip there has met mixed reactions.

Is Kanye West In Moscow, Russia?

Russian media has published reports that Kanye West is in Moscow. If true, he would be the first major Western star to visit Moscow since the country started its war against Ukraine two years ago.

Footage from Russian media outlets allegedly shows West in the Moscow subway. According to the Moskvichka showbiz outlet, West visited the city to celebrate the birthday of Russian designer Gosha Rubchinsky. However, the rapper has no plans for a concert.

Other videos allegedly show West after arriving by private plane, with reports that he's staying at the Four Seasons Hotel Moscow, a five-star hotel close to the Kremlin.

The "Good Morning" rapper also reportedly saw the Kremlin and Red Square from a viewing platform on the roof of the GUM department store.

Since the news of his trip, many people have taken to social media to speculate on whether the rapper has other motives for being in the country. Some have also claimed on X (formerly Twitter ) that his presence there is to help make Russia "look normal."

Russian Media Celebrates The Rapper's Alleged Arrival In The Country

Famous Russian producer Yana Rudkovskaya was among the big media names celebrating West's alleged visit to Russia.

According to the Daily Mail , she said, "Kanye West is already in Moscow! This is super news! Staying in the very heart of the capital! Fingers crossed for the show at Luzhniki! [stadium]."

Rudkovskaya had previously claimed that West would travel to Moscow for a concert scheduled for autumn and claimed to be involved in its organization. However, there were immediate denials of an imminent concert by Luzhniki Stadium, the alleged venue for the performance.

A major media outlet, Putin-controlled station RIA Novosti, celebrated West's arrival in Moscow. Popular war channel Zvezda, which is widely considered a mouthpiece for the Russian defense ministry, also reported the story."

Kanye West's Alleged Presence In Russia Was Also Met With Criticism

If the news of West's Russia trip is confirmed, his decision to visit the country would be a huge boost for President Vladimir Putin's regime and ongoing propaganda war. However, there are still mixed opinions on whether the Yeezy founder should be welcomed into Russia.

One Putin backer, Ekaterina Mizulina, previously insisted that West should not be encouraged to visit Russia. She said, "We don't need any Kanye West with his naked woman. We have enough of our own 'naked' parties."

However, another faction of Putin loyalists insists that West's performance in Russia would be a huge triumph.

Tina Kandelaki, a TV presenter and media manager who supports Putin, previously spoke about the excitement surrounding West's possible visit. She said, "Kanye will soon be with us… Our Russian brands are already sewing swimsuits with a fleece for the wife of the outrageous musician."

Kandelaki also claimed to all rival broadcasters that she had secured the rights to a possible Kanye West Moscow tour for her TV channel. She said, "I want to warn you that all rights to a possible broadcast of the concert are already in the hands of TNT, do not try to lure our overseas comrade to your camp."

The Rapper Was Recently Sued By His Former Employees

The rapper's arrival in Moscow comes amid a lawsuit by former Yeezy employees accusing him and his former chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, of promoting a toxic work environment and making them work for "insanely long hours."

According to TMZ , the disgruntled employees, who included adults and minors as young as 14, were hired as developers to work on West's YZYVSN streaming service app, which he wanted to use to promote his new albums, "Vultures" and "Vultures 2."

They were reportedly promised $120,000 in pay if they "completed the app," and they "agreed to the work conditions," and didn't "complain."

However, they were allegedly forced to sign non-disclosure agreements out of the blue under the threat of losing their jobs and not being paid. Meanwhile, the employees who were minors were required to sign "volunteer" agreements, implying they would receive no pay regardless of their contributions.
