Travis Kelce may have quite literally landed himself in fiancée Taylor Swift’s bad books.
During a Tuesday, February 2, teaser clip for the following day’s episode of Travis, 36, and older brother Jason Kelce’s podcast, “New Heights,” the Chiefs tight end fell back in his chair, landing with an audible crash on the ground.
A red-faced Travis, who had been enthusiastically laughing at a comment made by Jason, 38, regarding the trotting out of “best in show” dogs, joked after his fall, “Taylor’s going to kill me.”
As both brothers cracked up over the mishap, and Travis regained balance on his chair, Jason laughed even harder at his younger brother’s candid comment regarding Swift, 36.

A caption that accompanied the teaser clip, shared via X, that read, “Warning: This week’s episode is dangerously funny. Tomorrow. Super Bowl preview with two special guests.”
Travis’ light-hearted comment comes just two weeks after he joked that the pop star would “kill” him for yet another reason. While sharing fan reactions to a fresh “New Heights” merch drop, a listener commented, “I can’t believe none of the new hoodies are called ‘New Heights of Man-Hoodie,’” which drew blank expressions from Travis and Jason.
When the duo’s intern reminded them that the comment was a reference to Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl,” as “New Heights” is name-dropped on the album’s “Wood,” Travis offered a tongue-in-cheek response.

“I didn’t understand that,’ he said. “Taylor’s gonna kill me for not knowing that.”
Despite the jokes, Travis and Swift, who got engaged in August 2025 after dating for two years, have enjoyed quality time together in recent weeks. Stepping out for a rare public date night in Los Angeles on January 12, the pair were seen heading to dinner at Beverly Hills restaurant Funke. Captured in photos obtained by TMZ at the time, Swift rocked a gray blazer while Travis wore a green, brown and tan bowling shirt as they exited a vehicle and entered the restaurant.
The outing comes amid speculation over the future of Travis’ football career, with the NFL star rumored to be edging towards retirement. While no official announcement has been made, his teammates seemed to kick off farewell celebrations during the January 4 Chiefs game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
According to an article published by local news outlet Kansas City Star after the game, which saw the Raiders win 14-12, third-string quarterback Chris Oladokun extended his hand out to Travis in the locker room. “Man, thank you,” Oladokun, 28, reportedly said to him.
Additionally, the outlet reported that linebacker Cole Christiansen also said to Travis: “Whatever happens, it’s been an honor playing with you.”
Travis said on the January 7 episode of “New Heights” that he’s looking forward to “being a regular human” once he’s done playing football. “Every season ends for me, I just put my feet up and I be a human, because I’ve been putting my body through the wringer for the love of it,” he told Jason during the show.
He continued, “I do enjoy playing football and the physical aspect of it, I think there’s something about feeling the wear and tear of the football season, just getting ready for a game knowing your body’s f***ing beat down. I think there’s something to it, it makes you just feel like a mangy animal that’s out here just finding a way to survive.”
