Travis Kelce reveals his No. 1 rule on stage with Taylor Swift: ‘Do not drop the baby’
Golden Rule for Travis Kelce’s Eras Tour Cameo
Travis Kelce recently revealed his mindset during his surprise appearance on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour stage in London on June 23. During the July 3 episode of the New Heights podcast, Kelce shared that his primary focus was to ensure he didn’t drop Taylor Swift as he carried her across the stage.
“Do Not Drop the Baby”
Kelce described the moment to his brother, Jason Kelce, emphasizing the importance of his task. “The one thing I told myself was ‘Do not drop the baby,’” he explained. “‘Do not drop Taylor on your way over to this damn couch.’” He continued, “The golden rule was ‘Do not drop Taylor, get her to the couch safe.’”
Kelce compared his careful approach to handling Swift with his football career, recalling a lesson from his former coach, Eric Bieniemy. “‘That ball has our dreams, goals, and aspirations,’” he mimicked. “‘You do not drop that ball.’”
Energy of the Eras Tour Stage
Kelce likened the energy of the Eras Tour stage to scoring a touchdown at Arrowhead Stadium. “I would say that the touchdown cheers last a little longer,” he remarked. “But when everyone found out it was me, that moment was pretty jarring. I was like, ‘Oh s–t.’”
Despite feeling the pressure, Kelce successfully executed his role, ensuring he didn’t make Swift look foolish. “It was awesome,” he gushed. “And I didn’t disappoint Taylor, so that’s all that really matters. ‘Travis do not f–k this up.’ That was my number one goal.”
A Romantic Beginning
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship began in July 2023, when Swift’s Eras Tour stopped at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. As a huge Swiftie, Kelce attended the show, hoping to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his number on it. However, his attempt was thwarted due to Swift’s pre-show rituals.
Kelce later invited Swift to watch a Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium, and by early September, the two were “texting and talking here and there.” Swift accepted his invitation and joined Kelce’s mom to watch him play against the Chicago Bears. After the game, the couple was seen showing affection at a local bar.
Public Appearances and Growing Affection
Swift and Kelce’s relationship continued to blossom with public appearances. Swift brought her friends to watch Kelce play against the New York Jets, and the couple made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live. During a bye week, Kelce traveled to Argentina to support Swift during her Eras Tour, where she gave him a special shoutout.
Swift addressed their public appearances, noting, “I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care.”
Family and Future Plans
Swift joined Kelce’s family at various games and even brought her dad to cheer on Kelce. The couple spent New Year’s Eve together, sharing a romantic kiss at midnight. They continued to support each other, with Swift attending Kelce’s AFC Championship game and the 2024 Super Bowl, where the Chiefs emerged victorious.
Swift posted footage of Kelce on social media, highlighting their close bond. Their relationship has been marked by shared moments and mutual support, making them a power couple both on and off the stage.
As Kelce and Swift’s romance continues to thrive, fans eagerly watch their journey unfold, celebrating their shared achievements and public displays of affection.
