Travis Kelce shows off gymnastics skills as Olivia Dunne impressed by NFL star
NFL star Travis Kelce and LSU gymnastics sweetheart Olivia Dunne starred together in a commercial for their shared sponsor, Accelerator.
the advert saw the Kansas City Chiefs tight end attempting some spectacular gymnastic feats under the supervision of 21 year old Dunne. In the video, the gymnastics sensation instructed 34 year old Kelce on how to nail a landing. Emphasising the need to stretch his arms out upon contact with the ground and raise them sky-high to signify the conclusion of the performance, before letting out an exultant yell.
Kelce’s efforts wowed Dunne, who awarded Taylor Swift’s boyfriend a top score of ten for his hard work. Then it was time for Dunne to wow the three-time Super Bowl champion with her knack for American football. The talented athlete – who just so happens to be dating MLB sensation Paul Skenes – received advice from Kelce on the correct way to snag a football. The professional tip, known amongst the gridiron crowd as the diamond, was followed by a toss from Kelce, who viewed the action from an off-camera position. Impressively, Dunne caught the spiral pass perfectly as Kelce yelled: “She’s Open!”
Thrilled by her success, Dunne spiked the ball and partied like a pro. It comes as no surprise that Kelce would partner up with Accelerator due to the brand being a chief supporter of his successful podcast, “New Heights”, where he shares the limelight with his big brother Jason Kelce. In one of their most acclaimed episodes, the Kelce siblings savoured a jaunt across the pond to London.
While in the capital, Travis Kelce surprised fans by stepping on stage with his girlfriend, Swift, at Wembley Stadium, earning cheers from a sea of Swifties. The renowned pair even had a Royal encounter backstage, rubbing shoulders with Prince William, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
Travis was utterly charmed by the Royal encounter, saying: “They were an absolute delight to meet. Wasn’t sure if I was supposed to, like, bow to them, curtsy, just be an American idiot and shake their hand,” and added, “We wanted to be polite, especially on this side of the pond.”
ason couldn’t hide his admiration for the young royals, particularly Princess Charlotte: “I gotta say, Prince William was fantastic, but the highlight was Princess Charlotte. Prince George was great too. She was so ——- adorable. Like, I cannot,”.
Attending his first Taylor Swift concert, Jason Kelce was blown away by the performance: “It was insanely impressive. There’s something, like obviously Taylor’s an amazing singer-songwriter, but then to be able to go out there and be a performer at that level for how long she was up there for, like, three and a half hours, four hours? “.
The acoustic set left a lasting impression on Jason, who marvelled: “It’s just her, a guitar, and 90,000 people,” and he continued, “And she’s blending from one song to another. Like, to be good in front of 90,000 people with just that, I think you have to be amazing. And you have to, one, have great songs and great lyrics, which she obviously has written and made. And then two, be able to perform those seamlessly on the spot, nothing else to hide it, just that was the highlight of the evening for me.”
