Travis Kelce has pointed to his wife, Taylor Swift, as a possible fix for the biggest problem facing the New Heights Tailgate: finding a proper stage. The brothers broke down the Philadelphia event on the Wednesday, Nov. 11 episode of their podcast. Held before Sunday's Eagles game, it featured sumo wrestling, hobby horsing and plenty of beer. Jason Kelce called it the best tailgate they have done, mostly because of the stage. Now that the show wants to visit Kansas City and other NFL cities, Jason asked who might know about stages, and Travis had an answer.

Jason, 39, said the stage changed everything this year, and he explained why. Earlier tailgates in Kansas City and Philadelphia left fans straining to see the action.

“Like we did belly bucking last year, but because there's not bleachers or you're not up on a stage, it's hard for everybody to see it,” the former Philadelphia Eagles star said. This time, he said, “The stage made a huge impact.”

Most tailgates do not have one.

“If we can recreate this in other areas, I do think the stage is really important. The problem is most tailgates don't have a stage. So I don't know how we're gonna do it ... maybe build our own,” Jason said, before jokingly asking Travis, 37: “Do you know anyone who knows anything about stages?”

Travis played it straight. “Uh yeah, I actually do,” he replied, and both brothers burst out laughing. “I'll see what my wife can cook up,” the tight end said.

Swift has already joined the podcast once

Swift, 36, works with stage crews who handle far bigger jobs than a parking lot tailgate, but she has never kept her distance from the show. Last August, she made her first appearance on any podcast when she sat down with Travis and Jason. It became their most-viewed episode. She talked about regaining the rights to her music and her romance with Travis, and she announced her then-forthcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl.

After taping, the couple later revealed, Travis took her outside his Kansas City home for a fairytale proposal.

Swift explained it during an October 2025 appearance on The Graham Norton Show. “We filmed the podcast for about three or four hours ... and meanwhile behind his house, he was having the whole back garden turned into this,” she said, as photos of the flower-filled garden showed on screen.

Eleven months after the proposal, the couple wed at Madison Square Garden in New York City in front of more than a thousand A-list guests.
