Travis Kelce may have accidentally dropped a Taylor Swift Easter egg.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end made an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Monday (Jan. 13), where he was asked about being around his Grammy-winning girlfriend while she’s finding musical inspiration.
“Let’s just say you’re hanging and out and having a little dinner and all of the sudden the creative juice sparks,” McAfee began, “and the absolute beast that you’re sitting with who is going to go down as maybe the most famous icon in the history of music … are you a motivator every single time?”
Kelce responded that he would “never chime in” during Swift’s writing process, “but I’m here to support it. I’m here to see where it can go.”
When McAfee suggested Swift might be working on an album about a “good” guy (joking that he’d heard about all the “f—boys” on previous albums, thanks to his Swiftie wife), Kelce cheekily said, “There might be a few.”
“You know I can’t say, you know I can’t say… any of that,” he continued. “I hear music everywhere.”
The superstar’s last album was The Tortured Poets Department, which was released back in April. Swift’s 31-track 11th studio album was No. 1 on the 2024 year-end Billboard 200 albums chart, followed at No. 2 by Swift’s own 1989 (Taylor’s Version), which was released in 2023. Tortured Poets outperformed all of her past albums on the Billboard 200 by spending 17 weeks at the top of the chart. The LP arrived amid Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour, which wrapped last month after 149 shows.
Elsewhere in the new interview, Kelce talks to McAfee about his role in Adam Sandler’s Happy Gilmore sequel and how “bananas” the crowd was at the Eras Tour concert at Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Stadium in November.
