The Kansas City Chiefs player, 34, revealed on the season finale of the New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce podcast that his surprise cameo was not only a thrilling experience but also his own idea.

In a candid conversation with his brother and co-host Jason Kelce, Travis recounted how the idea initially came about. “I mentioned it to Tay,” he shared, referring to Swift, “I was like, ‘How funny would it be if I just rolled out on one of the bikes during the 1989 era?’” Swift, known for her humor and spontaneity, initially laughed but soon warmed up to the idea, asking if he was serious about joining her onstage.

“I would love to do that, are you kidding me? I’ve seen the show enough — might as well put me to work here,” Travis enthusiastically responded. Swift, renowned for her meticulous stagecraft, found the perfect moment for him to make his grand entrance.

On June 23, to the surprise and delight of Swifties, Travis appeared on stage in a dapper tuxedo, escorting Swift as part of her elaborate performance. Describing the experience, Travis highlighted the safety precautions taken and the thrill of performing in front of Swift’s devoted audience. “It was such a fun, playful part of the show,” he remarked, “and it was like … the perfect time for me to go up there, just be a ham and have some fun.”

During his time on stage, Travis participated in Swift’s “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” segment, showcasing his dance moves and even revealing a favorite inspired by Jim Carrey’s tap dance from Dumb and Dumber. Reflecting on the magnitude of the experience, Travis expressed awe at the scale of Swift’s production and the overwhelming response from the audience once they realized who he was.

Travis praised Swift as a “true showman” and cherished the opportunity to share the stage with her. “It was an absolute blast,” he concluded, emphasizing the joy of connecting with the crowd and setting the stage for the rest of Swift’s electrifying performance.
