Fans at Taylor Swift's third London show at Wembley Stadium in late June were greeted with a surprise appearance by Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, who had attended the two previous shows in London.
Kelce finally spoke about his experience on stage with the superstar in the season two finale of New Heights, the podcast he hosts with his brother, Jason.
Of course, fans can never get enough Swift-Kelce content, so his comments immediately went viral. He only had positive things to say about working with Swift and her crew, and everyone in the stadium seemed to enjoy his performance.
Here's more on what Kelce had to say about his onstage antics on New Heights.

What did Travis Kelce say about his Eras Tour appearance with Taylor Swift?
Kelce's surprise appearance initially started as a hypothetical between the couple where Kelce suggested he could "just [roll] out on one of the bikes during the 1989 era.” He said Swift asked him if he was serious about it, to which he responded, "What? I would love to do that, are you kidding me?"
The NFL star slotted into the concert during a transition in "The Tortured Poets Department" set just before Swift sings "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart." Dressed in a tuxedo and a top hat, Kelce took the stage with a few of Swift's background dancers and brought her "back to life" before the song.
At the beginning of his appearance, Kelce carried a limp Swift from one part of the stage over to a couch. On New Heights, he mentioned he had a "golden rule" for himself while performing: “The one thing I told myself is ‘do not drop the baby.’ Do not drop Taylor on your way over to this damn couch."
Though he's used to playing in stadiums the likes of Wembley, Kelce still remembers the moment everyone found out he was on stage during the show.
“When everyone found out that it was me — because it took a second for everybody to figure it out — that moment was pretty jarring. I was just like, ‘Oh s—,'" he said. "And you don’t realize how big that damn stage is. It is easily as big as a football stadium in terms of length … it’s way bigger than I could have ever imagined.
"But no, it was awesome. And I didn’t disappoint Taylor, so that’s all that really matters.”
Kelce looked as though he was having fun up there, even flaunting a fancy heel-click dance move he says was inspired by the movie"Dumb and Dumber." He called it "an honor" to be on stage with Swift and seemed to flourish in the experience.
“It was an absolute blast,” he said. “It was such a fun, playful part of the show, and it was like … the perfect time for me to go up there, just be a ham and have some fun — not only with [Swift] … but the crowd and really try and get everybody excited for the rest of the show. It was awesome.”
