When Travis Kelce He made a surprise appearance on stage with his girlfriend. Taylor Swift During the Tour of the ages In June, a bunch of phones started buzzing in my house in Kansas City.
While the thousands of fans inside London's Wembley Stadium were busy losing their minds, members of the Chiefs organization were learning for the first time about the concert debut of their star tight end, according to The athletic.
Chiefs General Manager Brett Veach I couldn't help but sit back and marvel.
“He's a showman,” Veach told the outlet in a story published Tuesday, Aug. 20. “He has a natural gift for being able to perform in front of people. Obviously, we get the most benefit when he does it on Sundays.”
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are all anyone can talk about. Swift and Kelce were first linked in July 2023 when the Kansas City Chiefs tight end shared that he tried to ask Swift out after attending her Eras Tour. “I was kind of bitter that I couldn't give her one of the bracelets that I had given to my ex-partner.” […]
Veach continued: “It’s funny because when you watch those clips with him on tour with Taylor, it seems like he’s been a part of that show for months. But it was that day, and he just looks natural. It’s a gift that he has.”
The performance, which saw Kelce, 34, don a top hat and tuxedo as he danced and carried Swift, also 34, around the stage during the Department of tortured poets section of the track listing — immediately went viral in London, Kansas City, and everywhere in between.
“She found the perfect part of the program for me to get into,” Travis told his brother. Jason Kelceon his “New Heights” podcast in July. “It’s a really fun, playful part of the show. It was the perfect time to go in there and just be an actor and have a little fun and try to get everyone excited for the rest of the show. It was amazing.”
Travis continued: “That moment was pretty shocking. I was like, ‘Oh, shit!’ You don’t realize how big that fucking stage is. I didn’t let Taylor down. That’s all that really matters.”
Taylor Swift is making sure her man Travis Kelce never goes out of style. Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes joked that Swift, 34, is responsible for the tight end growing out his hair recently. Kelce, also 34, is known for sporting a buzz cut. “I've been trying to get him to grow his hair out […]
Travis, a regular on the tour, pitched Swift some ideas for her surprise appearance.
“I initially mentioned it to Tay, I said, 'How fun would it be if I went out on one of the bikes during the 1989 [section]“??” he said on the podcast. “She started laughing and said, ‘Would you really dare to do something like that?’ I was like, ‘What? I would love to do that, are you kidding me?’”
Travis further explained: “I’ve seen enough of the show, so I might as well get to work here… There wasn’t, for example, a bike in case I ran into someone else or hit one of the dancers or something. It was, so to speak, the safest option.”
Most recently, Travis has returned to his day job as one of the NFL's top tight ends as the Chiefs began their quest for a historic third consecutive Super Bowl on Sept. 5 against the Baltimore Ravens.
