Travis Kelce reflects on his surprise appearance during his girlfriend Taylor Swift’s Eras tour in London.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end spoke about the moment on his podcast “New Heights” with his brother Jason Kelce in the season two finale, which premiered on July 3, and revealed that the surprise appearance was his idea.

“I mentioned it to Tay first. I thought, ‘How fun would it be if I just rolled off on one of the bikes?'” he recalls.

Kelce said Swift laughed before asking him if he was serious about it.

“I just thought, ‘What? I’d love to do that, are you serious? I’ve seen the show enough times, so I might as well work here,'” he added.

Kelce said Swift – whom he called a “true showman” – found the “perfect part of the show” for him when she joined her onstage at Wembley Stadium during the June 26 concert, with Kelce wearing a tuxedo and bow tie.

“There was no bike in case I bumped into someone or hit one of the dancers or something,” he joked. “It was kind of the safest option.”

Kelce said his dance moves during the show were inspired by Jim Carrey’s role in “Dumb and Dumber” and said he enjoyed the opportunity to “just be an actor and have a little fun.”

“It was great,” he concluded. “And I didn’t disappoint Taylor, that’s all that really matters.”
