Travis Kelce shared how Taylor Swift reacted to his original plan to join her on the Eras Tour stage, and why his final cameo was perfect. ..

Travis Kelce saw a blank space in Eras Tour choreography, and he wanted to write his name.

Indeed, the Kansas City Chiefs football player shared that it was him who suggested he join Taylor Swift on stage during her show. But his original vision was slightly different than what he ended up doing during her June 23 concert in London.

“I initially mentioned it to Tay,” he revealed to brother Jason Kelce during the July 3 episode of New Heights. “I was like, ‘How funny would it be if I just rolled out on one of the bikes during the 1989 album. That era.’”

An avowed 1989 fan, it’s not surprising Travis would suggest joining his girlfriend for that section of the show, but Taylor acquiesced with a different idea.

“She started laughing,” Travis continued. “She was like, ‘Would you seriously be up for doing something like that?’ And I was like, ‘What? I would love to do that. Are you kidding me?’ I’ve seen the show enough, might as well put me to work here.”

And while the duo ended up having Travis join later in the show for The Tortured Poets Department set, the tight end was happy with the final performance.

“She found the perfect part of the show for me to come in,” he gushed, noting the flaws of his original idea. “There was no bike in case I ran into someone else or hit one of the dancers or anything. It was the safest option.”

Travis also couldn’t help but rave over Taylor’s two backup dancers, Kameron Saunders and Jan Ravnik, who helped him during his cameo—which occurred right between Taylor’s performances of “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” and “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart.”

“It was such a fun, playful part of the show,” he added. “It was the perfect time for me to go up there and be a ham and have some fun not only with her, Kam and Jan but the crowd. Really try and get everyone excited for the rest of the show. It was awesome. Had an absolute blast.”

And since his cameo took place during a sequence of trying to “revive” Taylor to finish the show, the 34-year-old also got to show off some of his own personality during his time on stage.

“I always wanted to pull out this move, but I never knew when I should pull it out—like an area where it made sense,” Travis recalled of his Dumb and Dumber-inspired tap move. “That’s one of my favorite moves of all time.”

Overall, Travis couldn’t say enough good things about his Eras Tour appearance.

“I had so much fun,” he emphasized. “It was an honor being on stage obviously with Taylor but even Kam and Jan.”

While Travis is the only star to get to go on the Eras Tour stage, Taylor has had plenty of celebrity guests rooting for her from the bleachers—or VIP tent. Keep reading for every star who has attended the tour so far.
