Travis Kelce couldn’t be happier that Taylor Swift showed up at his party.
The 33-year-old Kansas City Chiefs athlete recapped his team’s Sunday, September 24, victory during the Wednesday, September 27, episode of his “New Heights” podcast with Jason Kelce. While the siblings kicked off the episode discussing Jason, 35, and his undefeated Philadelphia Eagles, they couldn’t avoid Swift, 33, for long.
“How’s it feel that Taylor Swift has finally put you on the map?” Jason teased his brother.
Travis was happy to give credit where it was due. “Shout-out to Taylor for pulling up,” he said. “That was pretty ballsy.”
Swift was spotted in Travis’ suite at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on Sunday, cheering and chatting with his mom, Donna Kelce, while sporting Chiefs colors. Her appearance came two months after Travis publicly revealed he was rejected by Swift when he tried to give her a friendship bracelet at her Eras Tour stop in the same stadium this summer.
Travis gushed over Swift’s energy at the game, noting that it was “hilarious” to see the reaction from players and fans alike. “I just thought it was awesome that everybody in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her. The friends and family. She looked amazing … and on top of that, the day went perfect for Chiefs fans. We script it all, ladies and gentleman,” he teased. “It was absolutely electric.”
He continued: “To see the slow motion chest bumps, to see the high fives with mom, to see how Chiefs kingdom was all excited that she was there … it was definitely a game I’ll remember, that’s for damn sure.”
