Travis Kelce discusses his time in the UK in his podcast, following the American footballer’s made a surprise on-stage appearance during Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Londonshow.
The NFL star appeared in a morning suit and carried his girlfriend on to a red piece of furniture, after the US pop star pretended to faint during the third night of her residency at Wembley Stadium.
In his podcast New Heights, which he records with his brother and former NFL star Jason Kelce, they drink cups of tea.
It opens with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis saying “This is tea, innit?” in a British accent.
His brother Jason then tells him: “Dude, put your pinky out and do it properly,” before they clink tea cups which say “curiouser and curiouser” on them.
After they sip, Jason says: “Oh that’s lovely, I’m not going to lie this is the best tea I’ve ever had in my life.”
Travis adds: “I’m not going to lie, tea does not taste like this in America.”
The video, which was posted on the official podcast Instagram page, was captioned: “Who wants some tea?”
After performing three sold-out nights in London, Swift said she is “still cracking up/swooning” over her boyfriend’s on-stage appearance, in an Instagram post. With photos from the shows and a video of their theatrical performance, she wrote: “Wembley Stadium round one was so surreal. “Looking out into crowds of 90,000 fans each night and hearing that VOLUME… Those were some of the loudest crowds I’ve ever heard. Acoustic sections went OFF. “I got to sing ‘Crumbling’ with @yelyahwilliams for the first time – hadn’t performed with her since 2011 and man heart was just so full of for her and our friendship.
“Then the impossibly and wonderful @ came and the crowd with first performance of our ‘Us’.
“And I’m still cracking up/ over @killatrav’s Tour debut. Never going to forget these shows. wait to do it five more times in August.”
Swift concluded the Sunday show with the song Karma, changing the lyrics to include a special shout out to the Kansas City Chiefs star, singing: “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me.”
The couple were first romantically linked in September 2023.
