Travis Kelce reveals he pitched a different idea to Taylor Swift on how to make his Eras Tour debut

It turns out that it was actually Travis Kelce's idea to join Taylor Swift on stage during one of her Eras Tour shows.

However, his original thoughts didn't have anything to do with The Tortured Poets Department , and actually related to his favorite era. Moreover, it involved his favorite song.

During Taylor Swift's song, Blank Space, from her album 1989 , many of her dancers ride bikes in the background as she sings. And Kelce had the perfect idea to just join in on that fun.

“I initially mentioned it to Tay. I was like, how funny would it be I just rolled out on one of the bikes during the 1989 era," Travis said during the New Heights podcast season 2 finale. "She started laughing. She was like would you seriously be up for doing something like that? And I was like, what? I would love to do that! Are you kidding me? I’ve seen the show enough. Might as well put me to work here."

But in the end, Swift decided to add him into another part of the show rather than that one.

"And sure enough she found the perfect part of the show for to come in," the tight end added. "There was no bike in case I ran into somebody else or hit one of the dancers or anything. It was the safest option."

And Travis certainly did not disappoint.

"And it’s such a fun playful part of the show, and it was like the perfect area or the perfect time for me to go up there and just be a ham and have some fun, not only with her, Kam, and Jan, but with the crowd and really try and get everyone excited for the rest of the show," he said. "It was awesome.”

As for Jason, he had high praise for his younger brother after his time on stage with the singer.

"It worked. You absolutely killed it," Jason said. "Just this picture on the left of you looking at Tay and just the smile from ear to ear. It was just so fun to watch. I wish I could have been there for that. It was so, so cool to watch it happen.

However, through the entire performance Travis had one thing going through his head: don't mess up.

"I was up there with three professionals, and you can do no wrong when Taylor’s on stage because she’s the best to do it," Travis said. "The one thing I told myself was do not drop the baby. Do not drop this. Do not drop Taylor on the way to this damn couch. The golden rule was do not drop Taylor. Get her to the couch safely."

He didn't drop her, so it was a successful show!
