Travis Kelce reacts best to Taylor Swift’s cleavage in London bar – NBC4 Washington

Travis Kelce will not die from a thousand paper cuts.

At least the Kansas City Chiefs tight end kept his cool when he recently collided with a cardboard cutout of Taylor Swift during his visit to London in support of the singer’s Eras Tour.

“We had a ‘Swiftie party’ later that day,” Jessi Riley, a bar manager at the Philadelphia-inspired dive bar Passyunk Avenue, told People of the encounter. “It was especially funny because I was setting up the Taylor Swift cutout when Travis walked in.”

Riley continued, “I said something like, ‘Sorry about the girlfriend, we’re having a Taylor Swift after-party tonight,’ and he said, ‘Me too.'”

And in the aftermath of the exchange, Kelce ordered a beer and a cheesesteak, according to the manager.

“He was a little early and I didn’t expect him for another 45 minutes,” Riley said. “And there I was with his girlfriend!”

But what was Kelce doing in the bar anyway? He was recording his podcast “New Heights” with his brother Jason Kelce, who retired from the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this year.

“He came in and gave me a big hug around the shoulders,” Riley said of Jason Kelce, “and it felt totally normal.”

In fact, the former football player brought his wife Kylie Kelce with him and, in keeping with the bar’s tradition, the couple left a $100 bill on the wall that read, “F–k Dallas, Go Birds and Go Cabrini.”

“She insisted on standing on a chair and securing it herself to the highest point in the venue, and I just kept thinking, ‘Please don’t fall,'” Riley recalled, adding that Kylie Kelce – who graduated from Cabrini University in Pennsylvania in 2017 – was “so cool and very down to earth.”

But visiting a Philly-style bar wasn’t the only highlight of the Kelces’ family trip across the pond. While filming his podcast episode, Kelce couldn’t help but gush about how he and Swift were introduced to the British royal family backstage at their concert.

“I was lucky I got there early and got to meet Prince William,” the NFL star said on his show. “How about this? Your Royal Highness. He was the coolest damn guy.”
