Travis Kelce is talking about the time he joined his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, on stage. In case anyone missed it, he joined Taylor on stage during the London stop of her Eras Tour.
Kelce, more familiar with the role of a Kansas City Chiefs tight end than a performer, was honest about being out of his comfort zone. He looks back on it with good humor, but in a recent ‘New Heights’ podcast, Kelce described being a bag of nerves at the time.
Travis Kelce’s Dream Come True
The 34-year-old admitted that taking to the stage wasn’t really his thing, but he had a good time with Taylor and really enjoyed the experience of hamming it up.
Although sharing the stage with a pop icon who happens to be your girlfriend could be a dream come true for some, Kelce’s recall of his inner dialogue suggests he was too concerned about fumbling his lines and ‘dropping the baby’ to take it all in. Dressed in his customary suit and top hat for the cameo appearance, all super athlete Kelce could focus on was carrying Swift across the stage to a red-sheeted bed without making a fool of himself.
By all accounts, Kelce was quite enamored with the idea of joining Swift on stage. After all he’d seen the show so many times, and being in it was a natural progression. He even came up with the original germ of the idea – to ride one of his bikes onto the stage during the 1989 era of the performance. That didn’t come to pass, but Swift liked the idea of him joining in so much, she created the perfect part for him in the skit.
A Night to Remember
Kelce has been to several of Swift’s sell-out shows since the couple started dating last summer and she’s been his number one fan at his football games. The couple’s open support and affection for each other have been a source of fascination for their fans.
Kelce is obviously proud of his girl. He talks about her down to earth love of life and her desire to remain part of the normal world despite her superstardom. He praised the fact she wanted no special treatment and used the front door like anyone else the first time she went to watch one of his games.
Travis Kelce And Taylor Swift’s Love Story
It was Swift’s personality that attracted Kelce, and he’s happy to talk about it, describing how genuine Swift is and the grace with which she handles her fame and how that drew him to her. He likes that she has remained grounded despite the adoration and scrutiny that comes with being a world-famous star.
It has been almost a year since the pair got together, and they look set to remain one of the world’s most talked about couples. For the fans, it is the obvious affection and mutual respect they have for each other that keeps them enthralled. It’s a modern-day love story straddling two dynamic worlds, sport and entertainment.
