Travis Kelce is called Taylor Swift’s dancer after the “Eras” show

Travis Kelce is known to some as a tight end and Taylor Swift‘s background dancer for others.

Kelce, 34, made a surprise appearance on the YouTube channel “Bussin’ With the Boys” on Wednesday, June 26. Podcast Hosts Will Compton And Taylor Lewan upload a weekly vlog-style video called “Under the Hood,” giving fans a glimpse into their daily lives. Wednesday’s video showed Compton and Lewan at the annual Tight End University (TEU) event in Nashville earlier this month, where they came face to face with Kelce. (George Kittle, Greg Olsen and Kelce founded the program in 2021 as a three-day immersion program for tight ends. They also raise money through charitable initiatives.)

As Kelce chatted with Lewan, a title card appeared on the screen, referring to the Kansas City Chiefs player as “T-Swift’s backup dancer.”

The title, of course, referred to Kelce’s recent work at Swift’s Epoch TourThe football star became an integral part of his girlfriend’s show on Sunday, June 23, when he accompanied her during the Department for Tortured Poets Epoch.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are the only ones everyone is talking about. Swift and Kelce were first linked in July 2023, when the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said he tried to ask Swift out after her Eras tour. “I was a little pissed that I couldn’t give her one of the bracelets that I (…)

During her final night at Wembley Stadium in London, Kelce took the stage with Swift’s dancers Kam Saunders and Jan Ravnik and helped transition between “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” and “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.” Wearing a tuxedo and top hat, Kelce lifted Swift off the floor and carried her to the couch on stage. She painted her face and pretended to throw a tantrum because she wanted to continue the performance. As the song began, Travis was seen singing brightly.

Shortly before his cameo on the “Bussin’ With the Boys” vlog on Wednesday, Kelce appeared on the podcast and talked about his high-profile relationship.

“You want to keep things private, but at the same time, I’m not here to hide anything,” Kelce said on Tuesday, June 25, when discussing their public romance. “That’s my girl. You know what I mean? That’s my wife, so I’m proud of it.”

Kelce and Swift were first spotted together at a Kansas City Chiefs game in September 2023 and have been publicly supporting each other ever since.

“I’m not sitting here trying to juggle and figure out how to keep this a secret,” he continued. “You just don’t want to let everyone in on your private life and be able to comment on it when you know that everything you do makes headlines.”
