Travis Kelce is leaning all the way into his rom-com era—and he’s not afraid to say it. On the “New Heights” season 3 finale, the Kansas City Chiefs star got candid about his high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift, joking that he’s basically living out a gender-flipped version of “Pretty Woman.”
Travis Kelce Embraces His Inner Julia Roberts
While watching “Pretty Woman” with his brother during the July 23 “New Heights” finale, Travis couldn’t help but see some similarities between himself and Vivian Ward, the character made famous by Julia Roberts.
“I’m just an NFL stripper, that’s it,” Kelce said with a laugh. “I’m just an NFL hooker, man.”
He even pitched a gender-flipped reboot of the 1990 classic called “Pretty Man.” “We need to have a CEO billionaire woman be so high class that she doesn’t know where she’s going, she doesn’t know how to drive a car,” Travis said. Jason quickly interrupted: “You’re living ‘Pretty Woman’ right now [dating Taylor Swift]. You are ‘Pretty Man.‘ You’re living your own Julia Roberts’ [moment].”
Travis burst into laughter before adding, “I’m wearing nothing but a tie when Taylor comes home.”
The Chiefs’ tight end then recalled meeting Roberts herself at one of Swift’s Eras Tour stops in Ireland earlier this summer. “That was pretty cool,” Travis said on a previous “New Heights episode,” calling Roberts an “awesome” person who was “having some fun” backstage. Their playful interaction—which included Roberts rubbing Travis’s shoulder and tickling his chest—quickly went viral.
Even Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield joined in on the fun during this week’s podcast, teasing Travis over his recent moves onstage. “Travis has more practice with choreographers and T. Swift,” Mayfield joked.
Jason Kelce Recalls Shirtless First Meeting With Taylor Swift
Also on the podcast, Jason reflected on his now-infamous first encounter with Taylor Swift—and let’s just say it wasn’t exactly a quiet family dinner.
Jason revealed he met Swift for the first time during the AFC Divisional Playoff game between the Chiefs and the Bills on January 21, 2024. That game went viral after Jason ripped off his shirt in the VIP box, screamed with fans, and even jumped into the stands. Meanwhile, Swift was seated just below him, next to Brittany Mahomes.
“That was a really fun day,” Jason recalled. “Also, the first time I met your girlfriend, so it was an all-timer.”
Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, previously shared her own first impressions of Swift during a February 2024 episode of “Call Her Daddy,” saying they hit it off over shared memories of the Jersey Shore. “Her family was like Sea Isle, Stone Harbor,” Kylie said. “That’s like the exact areas that I grew up going to.”
