It sounds like Travis Kelce is all for having Taylor Swift headline a future Kelce Jam festival — but there would definitely be some logistical details that would need to be handled first.
At his second-ever Kelce Jam music festival at Azura Amphitheatre Saturday (May 18) in Kansas City, the Chiefs tight end spoke with Billboard‘s Michael Saponara about the possibility of his superstar girlfriend ever headlining the event. “I don’t know, man — that’d be crazy,” he said with a big laugh. “We’d have to go to a stadium.”
With respect to Swift’s dozens of sold-out stadium-sized stops on her ongoing global Eras Tour, Kelce added, “I don’t think the amphitheater we’re in right now could hold that.”
This year, Kelce Jam was headlined by Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz and Diplo and featured performances from Irie and E-V. In April, Kelce told Billboard that the festival would serve as his “last hoo-rah” to celebrate the Chiefs’ 2024 Super Bowl win.
While at the event, Kelce also ranked his top three favorite Swift songs — the latter two of which are tracks from The Tortured Poets Department believed to be about him, so he might be a little biased. “Golly,” he told sports journalist The Schmo. “‘Blank Space,’ ‘The Alchemy’ and ‘So High School.’”
The festival comes shortly after the 14-time Grammy winner gave both “The Alchemy” and “So High School” their live debuts at her Eras concerts in Paris May 9-12. The latter track was one of several new numbers she added to her three-hour-plus show as part of the Tortured Poets mini-set, while the former was included by Swift in the acoustic surprise song section of her final performance at La Defense Arena, which Kelce attended.
