Travis Kelce Revealed Why He Attended ‘SNL’ With Taylor Swift
With decades of live broadcasts on NBC, Saturday Night Live is the longest-running comedy program still in production. They returned last weekend with a new season hosted by Pete Davidson, a former cast member of Saturday Night Live, but fans did not anticipate appearances by the NFL’s IT couple, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.

When they appeared in separate parts, the audience inside the studio gave them each an equally enthusiastic round of applause. In a spoof, the SNL cast made fun of the Swiftie craze that seems to be sweeping the nation. The tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, Tyler Eifert, was included.

At the very end, he makes a fleeting appearance. In addition, Taylor Swift made an appearance to introduce her buddy Ice Spice, who provided the night’s entertainment.
Travis Kelce discussed that incident and his experience on the ‘New Heights’ podcast:
“We showed up at SNL, having the idea of showing up to support Ice Spice. Her and Taylor are friends. I always wanted to meet Pete Davidson. I’ve been a fan of his for some time. It was electric to be back in that place. There’s something about being in that room, being in the first episode of the season, I had such a fricking blast. It was a star-studded backroom, but I’m not one to be throwing out names. It was awesome. Lorne Michaels, thanks for having us, it was a pleasure. I didn’t know what skits were coming up, I think it was just ironic they were doing a skit on ‘Swift Mania’, but I thought it was hilarious and when they asked me to be a part of it I said I’d be honoured. Taylor then made her cameo introducing her friend Ice Spice, who killed it.”
