On Thursday, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught nine passes for 124 yards in Kansas City’s 19-8 win over the Broncos — his highest receiving total in a game since Dec. 2021 against the Chargers.
As it turns out, that may have been the least exciting part of Kelce’s weekend.
The Chiefs tight end — whose reported romance with musician Taylor Swift has dominated headlines for nearly a month — opened up about his and Swift’s voyage to Saturday Night Live on Wednesday’s episode of his podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce.
“It was electric to be back in that place,” Kelce said, alluding to his hosting the show on March 4. “There is just something about being in that room. And being their first episode this season, I had such a freaking blast.”
Kelce noted that he and Swift went to support Ice Spice, the season premiere’s musical guest; the Bronx-based rapper appeared on a remix of Swift’s song “Karma” in May.
When Eagles center Jason Kelce quizzed him about video that showed him nudging Swift’s security guard out of the way so he could help her get out of the car, Travis was a good sport.
“I didn’t push him. I placed my hand on the gentleman’s back to let him know I was behind him,” Travis said. “If I would’ve pushed him he probably would’ve turned around and tased me.”
On Saturday Night Live, Swift introduced Ice Spice and Kelce appeared in a sketch satirizing the NFL’s near-hysterical Swift cross-promotion.
