Watch :Travis Kelce dances to Taylor Swift’s ‘Shake It Off’ at ‘New Heights’ podcast live show with brother Jason
Travis Kelce busted a move to girlfriend Taylor Swift’s song “Shake It Off” at his and his brother Jason Kelce’s “New Heights Live: We Gotta Talk About It” show Thursday at Fifth Third Arena in Cincinnati.
During a round of the Lombaby Games — a competition he and Jason created for the event, the Kansas City Chiefs player was seen grooving as a marching band played the pop star’s hit track.
“That’s one of my favorites,” he could be heard telling the crowd in a TikTok video posted from the show.
Swift, 34, was not seen at the event, which Page Six attended, but she was not expected to be one of the surprise guests — even though she is currently on hiatus from the international leg of her Eras Tour.
The “Bad Blood” singer reportedly has been focused on “rest and recuperation” during her much-needed time off, and also squeezed in some quality time with friends at a recent birthday party in Los Angeles.
Travis’ girlfriend, Taylor Swift, was there in spirit during the podcast taping.
However, the Kelce brothers, who returned to their home state of Ohio for the live podcast taping, did bring out Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and Travis’ former Chiefs teammate Orlando Brown Jr. as special guests.
Their parents, Ed Kelce and Donna Kelce, and Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, were also seen supporting the NFL stars at the show.
Fifth Third Arena is just outside of Nippert Stadium, where the event was originally supposed to be held prior to weather complications. The stadium holds a special place for Travis, 34, and Jason, 36, as its where the brothers played college football for the University of Cincinnati (UC).
Jason went to school there from 2006 to 2011 before being drafted to the Philadelphia Eagles his senior year, and Travis attended UC from 2008 to 2012 before being drafted to the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013.
Donna Kelce was seen at the “New Heights” podcast live show carrying giant balloons of football jerseys to support her sons.
The poor weather conditions did not stop fans from lining up ahead of the event.
The Lombaby Games got the audience excited with silly competitions that required contestants to do things like pin a mustache on an Andy Reid cutout and ride a bull while answering trivia.
Jason teased the event on “New Heights” in March, saying, “One of the beautiful things about doing this on a college campus, you want the college atmosphere, you want the students involved, the student athletes involved, so we’re going to have two teams of UC students.
“I’m not going to lie. I got this idea from ‘Revenge of the Nerds.’ Football team versus the nerds. Not saying the nonathletic guys are nerds unless you like to be called a nerd
