Travis Kelce says it was his idea to join Taylor Swift on stage at The Eras Tour. The NFL star recently made a surprise appearance during one of Swift's concerts at Wembley Stadium in London. Kelce appeared alongside two of the superstar singer's dancers who bring Swift "back to life" and help her change costumes ahead of performing the song "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart" off her latest album 'The Tortured Poets Department.' During the season two finale of his New Heights podcast with brother Jason Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end revealed how the moment came to be.

00:00It's so cool. I mean, I've seen the show so many times at this point that,
00:04like, I'll find myself in the crowd just, like,
00:07doing, like, the choreography to some of the, you know, the moves.

00:16The NFL star recently made a surprise appearance during one of Swift's concerts at Wembley Stadium
00:20in London. Kelce appeared alongside two of the superstar singer's dancers, who bring Swift back
00:25to life, and help her change costumes ahead of performing the song,
00:28I Can Do It With a Broken Heart, off her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department.
00:32During the Season 2 finale of his New Heights podcast with brother Jason Kelce,
00:36the Kansas City Chiefs' tight end revealed how the moment came to be.
00:40Well, I initially mentioned it to Tay. I was like, how funny would it be
00:46if I just, like, rolled out on one of the bikes during the 1989, like, era.
00:53Here's how he says Swift reacted to his suggestion.
00:56She started laughing. She was like, would you seriously be up for, like,
01:01doing something like that? And I was just like, are you what?
01:04Uh, yeah.
01:05I would love to do that.
01:07And then, things took off from there.
01:09I've seen the show enough. Might as well put me to work here.
01:13And sure enough, she found the perfect, perfect part of the show for me to come in.
01:19Kelce said he joined during, quote,
01:20such a fun and playful part of the show, and that it was an absolute blast to be a part of it.
01:25However, he did have one rule for himself while performing.
01:28The one thing I told myself is do not drop the baby. Do not drop this.
01:35Do not drop Taylor.
01:37He also recalled the moment everyone realized it was him on stage.
01:41When everyone found out that it was me, because it took a second for everybody to figure it out,
01:45and then they kind of put the camera on me, Cam and Yan, like,
01:49the three of us coming up the stage or on top of the stage.
01:53And that moment was pretty, like, jarring. I was just like, oh.
01:57So, can we expect Kelce to make more onstage appearances during the remainder of Swift's tour?
02:02He said, who knows? It might not be the last time.
02:05You guys have to keep showing up to the Heiress tour to see if I pop out of the stage.
