First Wembley Stadium, now Madison Square Garden: Travis Kelce has never shied away from a stage. Following up his Eras Tour performance (when he joined Taylor Swift onstage), the Kansas City Chiefs player returned to the front of a crowd at his and Swift’s wedding—taking the mic for one of the many star-studded karaoke acts of the evening.
In an episode of Ross Tucker Football Podcast, Kelce’s brother, Jason, spoke candidly about the performance, confirming that “Trav can sing.” He joked with his host, NFL offensive lineman-turned-sports broadcaster Ross Tucker, that while the tight end “obviously paled in comparison to some of the other people singing that night,” he “did okay.”
“Trav has always been able to carry a tune,” he continued, crediting his creative versatility to their upbringing in the “liberal artsy town” of Cleveland Heights. “I think a lot of the fact that we kind of do a little bit of everything actually stems from where we grew up. It’s super interesting, and it’s diverse economically; it’s diverse demographically. A lot of, like, former hippies have settled there. There’s always been a thriving music scene there. It’s a very interesting town.”
“When you’re in middle school, you’re either singing or you’re doing music with an instrument. So, it’s very artsy,” the former Philadelphia Eagles center added. “I really do think it’s a wonderful area that you kind of get exposed to a lot of different things, whether it’s the arts, athletics, academics.”
The groom was in good company on his wedding night, with Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks, and Tim McGraw all reported to have performed their own hits. Swift also reportedly took the stage.
As for Kelce’s song pick? Our bets are on one of his favorites from Swift’s discography: “Blank Space,” “Cruel Summer,” or “So High School.”
