There’s no denying that Travis Kelce has some impressive dance moves up his sleeve.
On Sunday, July 14, spectators were treated to an unexpected performance by the 34-year-old athlete. While participating in the 35th annual American Century Celebrity Golf Tournament in Lake Tahoe, California, Kelce showcased his groovy side as he danced to his girlfriend Taylor Swift‘s hit song, “Shake It Off.”
Maintaining his focus on the game, Kelce kept a straight face for the most part. However, when the song reached the chorus, the Kansas City tight end couldn’t resist bopping his head to the catchy lyrics, “‘Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play.”
As the song progressed, Kelce felt the rhythm take over and began to move more exuberantly. He offered a playful toe tap and lifted his arms in unison as the chorus’ lyrics, “Shake it off, shake it off,” resonated through the crowd.
The crowd couldn’t help but cheer for Kelce’s unexpected performance, and he quickly returned his attention to the tournament.
Swift’s music seemed to have a particular effect on Kelce during the tournament. When “Down Bad” from The Tortured Poets Department played, he was spotted swaying to the melody, unable to resist the pull of the rhythm once again.
The lighthearted atmosphere was a welcome change for Kelce, who had a few unfortunate mishaps during the event. His golf ball strayed off course multiple times, accidentally hitting spectators on more than one occasion.
During one such incident on Friday, July 12, Kelce’s ball struck a female fan, prompting him to check on her well-being. The pro footballer displayed his compassionate side as he comforted the woman and even posed for a picture with her, ensuring a memorable moment despite the mishap.
Regardless of the setting, Kelce’s dance moves never fail to impress. This was evident during Swift’s first Eras Tour show in London on June 21, where Kelce was spotted in the crowd at Wembley Stadium, dancing and singing along to “So High School.”
With a beaming smile, he enthusiastically belted out the lyrics, “Truth, dare, spin the bottle / You know how to ball I know Aristotle.”
