Travis Kelce explained his ‘protective’ nature in relationships after stepping out with Taylor Swift in New York City.
The 34-year-old was pressed by older brother Jason Kelce about his big weekend in New York City during the Wednesday episode of their “New Heights” podcast. When asked whether he received any “pushback” from Swift’s security detail for “pushing them out of the way,” Travis explained what really went down.
Video captured the Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end nudging a security guard so he could open a car door to let the singer step out at the “Saturday Night Live” after-party.
“I didn’t push him,” Travis Kelce said. “I placed my hand on the gentleman’s back to let him know I was behind him. If I would have pushed him, he probably would have turned around and tased me.”
“That sounds like a way that somebody who pushed somebody would describe pushing them,” Jason Kelce replied.
“You’re ridiculous,” Travis Kelce fired back.
“‘I didn’t push them. I just put my hand on them and moved them,’” Jason Kelce said, poking fun at the situation.
“’Good sir, can you excuse me? I need to get the door. Sorry. I’m right behind you. I don’t want to startle you. I know it’s your job to keep crazy people away, and if you just randomly get pushed in the back while standing in front of a door, that could probably be a little alarming,’” Travis Kelce continued in a joking tone.
Jason Kelce then asked if his brother feels like he’s a security guard when he’s with Swift.
“I feel like whenever I’m on a date I’m always having the sense of, like, I’m a man in the situation. I’m like protective. Yeah, for sure. You always kind of have that feeling or that self-awareness, I guess,” he said.
Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught nine passes for 124 yards in Kansas City’s 19-8 win over the Broncos last Thursday night. This was the highest receiving total in a game since Dec. 2021 against the Chargers.
