Travis Kelce Calls Taylor Swift ‘Ballsy’ for Taking Him Up on Chiefs Game Invite: ‘She Looked Amazing’

Brothers Jason and Travis Kelce just shared their first New Heights podcast episode since Taylor Swift made headlines with her Kansas City Chiefs game visit over the weekend — and of course, they had to talk about it.

After conceding that the siblings had, up until now, been steering clear of the subject on the show “out of respect” for Travis’ personal life, the Chiefs tight end joked, “Yeah, my personal life that’s not so personal. I did this to myself, Jason!” He also noted on the episode — which dropped Wednesday (Sept. 27) — that he’s under a brighter spotlight now following Swift’s visit to Kansas City. “I’m on a roller coaster, man!” he said. “I’m noticing a few things — paparazzi outside my house, s–t like that.”

“Shoutout to Taylor for pulling up!” he continued. “That was pretty ballsy. That was pretty ballsy, yeah. I just thought it was awesome how everybody in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her, the friends and family — she looked amazing. Everybody was talking about her in great light and on top of that, the day went perfect for Chiefs fans, of course.”

In case you somehow missed it, the “Anti-Hero” singer was the guest of honor — at Travis’ invitation — at Sunday’s Chiefs-Bears game at Arrowhead Stadium, where she was captured cheering on Travis’ team and talking excitedly with the Kelces’ mother, Donna. Afterward, she left the stadium with the younger Kelce in his convertible, something that has fans more convinced than ever that a romance has sprung up between the two stars after weeks of speculation.

“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,” Travis added. “It was definitely a game I’ll remember, that’s for d–n sure. Then we just slid off in the getaway car at the end. Took my Chevelle to the game.”

Unfortunately for Travlor shippers, it doesn’t seem like the Kansas City player has any plans to share more about his connection with Swift, whom he first admitted to having a crush on after failing to slip her his phone number at an Eras Tour concert in May. “It is my personal life and I want to respect both of our lives,” he told his brother before joking, “She’s not in the media as much as I am, doing this show every single week … I’m enjoying life, and I sure as hell enjoyed this weekend.”

“Everything moving forward, I think me talking about sports … is kinda where I keep it,” he added.

Travis and Jason did, however, take some time to answer some basic football questions sent in by Swifties who, in light of recent events, have taken a new interest in the NFL. The two also reacted to some of the most newsworthy comments made about the public interest caused by Swift’s attendance Sunday, including Patriots manager Bill Belichick joking that the musician might just turn into the “biggest catch” of Travis’ career.

“Even Bill Belichick! Belichick, he hasn’t talked much about me outside of, you know, game weeks that we played,” Kelce laughed. “But dude made sure to remind me that’s the best catch I’ve ever had in my life!”
