Travis and his brother Jason Kelce were discussing their latest movie review – when they recalled one of the first films they analyzed: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, as demanded by a group of Swift’s fans.
While trying to recall their review of that movie, Travis accidentally fumbled his words – referring to one of the ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ singer’s recent works.
‘What did we give, uh, Tortured-,’ Kelce said before cutting himself off while he realized he was about to say the name of Swift’s latest album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department.’
‘—I mean, not Tortured,’ he quickly corrected, laughing under his breath. ‘What did we give, uh, Traveling Pants?’
Neither brother dwelled on the mistake, but Swift’s fans caught it and blew up on social media.
‘Travis almost saying tortured poets instead of traveling pants lmfao,’ read one post on X, formerly Twitter, while another user commented that it was ‘comedy gold.’
‘I’m dying at the cuteness of this omg he has her album on his mind, it’s so heartwarming,’ someone else posted, while another declared it to be ‘possibly the cutest thing that has ever happened in the history of forever.’
‘Taylor is ALWAYS on his mind and it’s absolutely adorable,’ another fan gushed, while others joked, ‘I also bring up tortured poets in every single conversation I have.’
Swift hasn’t made any road trips to any Chiefs games this season, choosing instead to attend multiple home games in Kansas City so far this year.
With some time off before her final shows in Toronto and Vancouver, it’s possible that Swift could be back in KC this week as the Chiefs play a game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Black Friday.
Kelce’s had a sluggish season so far – leading the team in passing yards but is only fourth among tight ends in the league.
