On Monday, December 30th, Travis Kelce and his brother, Jason Kelsey, took to the airwaves for their New Heights podcast, where they shared stories from their holiday celebrations. A snippet from the episode, set to release on Wednesday, provided some fun insights into their Christmas experiences.
The Kelsey brothers kicked off their conversation by discussing the Kansas City Chiefs’ exciting victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day. Jason was quick to highlight the memorable nature of the game, noting how Patrick Mahomes had stolen the spotlight with his stellar performance.
“It was a big holiday celebration,” Travis agreed. Despite modestly brushing off Jason’s compliment about his own performance, Travis emphasized the excitement of the win.
Jason also asked Travis about the famed NFL cake, which players often get to enjoy after major victories. Travis laughed, saying it was nothing extraordinary, just chocolate, but that the true thrill was being “the chosen one” to eat the cake. It was a fun moment of holiday cheer for the Chiefs players.
However, the conversation soon turned to something a bit more personal as Jason asked about Travis’s trip to New York City. “New York gave me some great trips,” Travis said, particularly highlighting one special outing: a birthday party for Taylor Swift’s friend, Ashley Aon. “It was my first time entering a private party,” Travis shared. Taylor had booked him into the exclusive venue, a place with strict rules about who could enter. “Everything was overwhelming,” Travis admitted, adding that everything about the event was “crazy.”
Jason laughed, acknowledging the luxury of such an event, and Travis continued to reflect on how everything in the party felt special and exclusive. The Kelsey brothers joked about the surreal nature of Travis’s experience, with Travis laughing about the event’s secrecy and how even revealing too much could get you banned from returning.
The conversation then shifted to more personal moments between Travis and Taylor Swift. Travis fondly recalled a romantic outing with Taylor in the rain, where, despite his best efforts to shield her, they both ended up soaked. “It was a romantic outing in the rain,” Travis laughed, as Jason jokingly asked if the two had caught a cold. “The weather definitely made us sneeze,” Travis said, adding that the cooler New York weather caused them to return to Kansas City earlier than expected. With New Year’s approaching, Jason seemed curious about their plans. Travis hinted at a potential first New Year’s Eve together, adding a nervous laugh to the idea.
In addition to the holiday fun, the Kelsey brothers also touched on Travis’s relationship with Taylor, discussing their time together, how much they enjoy each other’s company, and how they are focusing on their relationship despite the media frenzy surrounding them.
Fans of Taylor Swift, known for her political messages, were also quick to analyze her latest fashion choice while she and Travis enjoyed a date night in New York. The 35-year-old pop icon donned a Stella McCartney wool dinner jacket, a sleek black mini dress, and the standout piece: a Versace Crystal Lam Medusa mini bag. The Medusa imagery on the bag, associated with Greek mythology and the themes of rage, punishment, and power, sparked widespread speculation among fans. Some believe it could be a subtle nod to feminist themes, as Medusa has been reinterpreted in modern times as a symbol of resistance against oppression.
Despite the fan theories, Taylor Swift has not confirmed any political or personal intention behind her accessory choice. Nevertheless, she seemed to enjoy her evening in New York City with Travis, dining with friends Jack Antonoff and Margaret Quin.
As for Travis and Taylor’s future, the couple, who have been dating for over 16 months, seem to be focusing on their relationship while keeping their personal lives out of the public eye. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs, led by Mahomes and Kelce, are finishing up a dominant 2024 NFL season, securing the AFC’s number-one seed with a 15-1 record. While they now have the luxury of resting their key players, including Travis Kelce, heading into the playoffs, the Chiefs remain focused on their ultimate goal: a Super Bowl victory.
In all, Travis’s holiday adventures with Taylor in New York and his candid podcast moments with Jason offer fans a glimpse into the fun and personal side of one of the NFL’s most famous stars.
