“I can’t pull anything out of my pocket”

“I can’t pull anything out of my pocket”



NFL star Travis Kelce’s second career as a background dancer for Taylor Swift could get an encore.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end sent Swifties into a frenzy when he appeared onstage for a routine with his pop star girlfriend at London’s Wembley Stadium on June 22.

When Kelce was asked if he would make another cameo on stage during an ongoing celebrity golf tournament near Lake Tahoe, Nevada, he preferred to remain tight-lipped.

“I can’t let anything out of the bag,” Kelce said. “But right now, after golf, I’m in full football mode.”

Kelce’s Chiefs begin training camp on July 26, leaving the couple with little time to celebrate their first anniversary. And according to Us Weekly, the couple is considering marking the occasion with another “special moment.”

“Travis’ schedule is about to get crazy again (and they) wanted to do something cool while he’s there (and) create something memorable for the fans,” a source told us.

Swift’s “Eras” tour is currently on its way to Germany.

Kelce’s performance with Swift at Wembley required a bit of acting, as he, along with several of her other dancers, pretended to revive the seemingly exhausted singer.

A lip reader known on Instagram as @tismejackieg claims to have deciphered the couple’s one-step back and forth.

“Wake up! Wake up!” the Kansas City Chiefs star is said to have shouted as he carried Swift across the stage at Wembley.

Later in the act, Swift pretended to faint before saying, “I don’t want to!”

Kelce, wearing a top hat, fanned Swift theatrically before telling her, “Get back out there!”

This back and forth continued.

“I don’t want to – ugh,” she replied.

“Go back out!” he replied.

No, it wasn’t Shakespeare at the Globe. But for the Swifties in London – and maybe some Chiefs fans in Kansas City – it was captivating.

Kelce has since discussed that moment in a recent episode of his podcast, “New Heights.”

“That’s not my style at all,” Kelce told his brother Jason. “I’m not tall and I don’t like being on stage. There were a lot of people there, I really didn’t feel comfortable.”

He also explained how the performance turned out.

“I initially asked Tay if it would be funny if I just rolled off on one of the motorcycles during the 1989 set.”

“She started laughing and said, ‘Would you seriously want to do something like that?'”

Kelce didn’t hesitate.

“I thought to myself, ‘I’d love to do that, are you serious?’ he said. ‘I’ve seen the show enough times, so I might as well get in line here. And sure enough, she found the perfect part of the show for me.'”
