Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been rubbing shoulders with A-list celebrities as he follows his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, on her Eras Tour. In London, Kelce crossed paths with Hugh Grant, Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, Tom Cruise, and Liam Hemsworth. He also had the chance to chat with legendary actress Julia Roberts and musician Stevie Nicks in Dublin, an experience that left him star-struck.
“I met Julia Roberts in Ireland… that was pretty cool, she was awesome,” Kelce gushed on his podcast, ‘New Heights.’ “Her and Stevie Nicks were in there having some fun.”
He continued, “You meet some of these people, and you’re just like, ‘I don’t know what I’m doing here.’ You’re unbelievable; your talent is unbelievable; how you present yourself is unbelievable. And I’m just a jamoke supporting his girlfriend.”

Kelce also joked with his brother, Jason, that he was now the ‘only one in the family’ who hadn’t met Nicks, after their mother, Donna, met her in Florida. ‘She is every bit as what everyone makes her out to be,’ Kelce said of Nicks. ‘She is so awesome.’
Jason and his wife, Kylie, attended a Swift concert for the first time last week and were impressed by the energy and enthusiasm of the crowd. ‘Everybody was having fun in that tent, let me tell you,’ Jason said. ‘Like Hugh [Grant] had his eight-year-old in there – the kids that are in there, mixed with the grown adults acting like kids. It just leads to this energy that’s so infectious.’
Travis added, ‘It was unbelievable. And the kids that were in there, they knew every single word to every single song.’
However, fans of the Kelce brothers’ podcast, ‘New Heights,’ will have to wait for new episodes as the siblings announced a two-month break. While Jason is retired from the NFL, Travis will be joining the Chiefs for training camp later this month.

‘We have a nice couple of months off from podcasting because in three weeks’ time, Travis will be in the middle of training camp,’ Jason announced on the latest episode. ‘He’s going to be busy, focusing on football, getting in shape for this upcoming season. So, we’re going to be off for about two months.’
The brothers took a shorter break last year, between the end of July and August 31, as they prepared for the 2023 season.
