Travis Kelce Shares “Golden Rule” for Joining Taylor Swift on Stage

This boy was not going to break his favorite toy. 

Travis Kelce recently shared the one thing he told himself over and over when he took the Eras Tour stage June 23 for a cameo in which he carried girlfriend Taylor Swift down the catwalk. 

“The one thing I told myself was ‘Do not drop the baby,’” he explained to brother Jason Kelce on the July 3 episode of their New Heights podcast. “‘Do not drop Taylor on your way over to this damn couch.’”

He stressed, “The golden rule was ‘Do not drop Taylor, get her to the couch safe.’”

Travis related his thought process to the mantra of one of his old coaches, Eric Bieniemy, as he held his own delicate cargo, relating Taylor to the importance of a football during games. 

“‘That ball has our dreams, goals and aspirations,’” he imitated. “‘You do not drop that ball.’”

In addition to likening the “Karma” singer to the most important thing in his own career, Travis also noted the energy of being on the Eras Tour stage was comparable to scoring at Arrowhead Stadium.
