Recently, Travis Kelce, a prominent NFL player, spilled the beans about their sensational SNL cameo. On "New Heights," the podcast he hosts with his brother Jason, Kelce shared his excitement about the show. "Being part of SNL's first episode of the season was a blast," he remarked, "The energy in that studio is something else." Interestingly, during his short stint on stage, the energy was so intense that Kelce confessed to momentarily "blacking out" from the overwhelming response.
The feedback from the SNL cast was all praises for Kelce. Taylor Swift, too, graced the show, introducing the musical act, Ice Spice.
But there’s more to their bond than just SNL appearances. In a recent encounter, Kelce was spotted stepping into the shoes of Taylor Swift's security guard. A clip went viral where it appeared as if he pushed a security personnel aside to open a door for Taylor. Addressing this incident on his podcast, Travis clarified, "I merely placed my hand on his back to signal my presence." He humorously pointed out, "Had I really pushed him, he might’ve turned around and tased me."
Furthermore, when questioned about his protective instincts around Taylor, Kelce admitted to always feeling the need to safeguard his dates. "Whenever I'm out on a date," he said, "I naturally feel the urge to be the protective figure."
In the whirlwind of fame and media attention, these anecdotes provide a glimpse into the genuine interactions and moments that often remain hidden from the public eye. And while their SNL cameo might be the talk of the town now, it's these behind-the-scenes stories that make them all the more relatable and endearing to their fans.
