Travis Kelce Hints At Taylor Swift’s Involvement In New Heights’ Next Big Event

Travis Kelce may have found the ultimate stage consultant, and she lives in his house. After a hit tailgate in Philadelphia, the Chiefs tight end hinted that wife Taylor Swift could help him and brother Jason build something bigger for their next event. Jason laughed it off. Travis sounded half serious. With a billion-dollar tour behind her, Swift knows more about stages than almost anyone alive. So could the world's biggest pop star soon be working on a football tailgate?

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift: the stage idea

The brothers talked it over on the latest New Heights episode, posted Wednesday, Nov. 11. They were looking back on the Philadelphia tailgate from three days earlier. Jason called it the "best" one they have ever done. He wants to re-create that setup, but there is a catch: "the problem is most tailgates don't have a stage."

Then he asked the obvious question. "I don't know how we're gonna do it … maybe build our own," Jason continued before asking his co-host, "Do you know anyone who knows anything about stages?"

Travis did not need long to answer. "Yeah, I actually do," Travis replied with a laugh. "I'll see what my wife can cook up."

It sounded like a joke, though maybe not entirely. Swift has toured since her teens and ran the Eras Tour across 2023 and 2024, one of the biggest tours ever. Her advice on staging, crews and production would carry real weight, even at a parking lot party.

Jason played it purely for laughs. "'The companies I deal with are not gonna f— around with you dumb f—s,'" he jokingly imagined Swift telling them.

Kelce brothers' event track record

Whether Swift gets involved or not, the Kelces have shown they can pull off big events. Travis has hosted two Kelce Jam festivals in Kansas City, marking the Chiefs' Super Bowl wins in 2023 and 2024. Artists like Lil Wayne, Diplo and Machine Gun Kelly have played them.

He has also proven he can keep a secret. His proposal to Swift in 2025 was carefully planned, with everything set up while she was busy recording a guest spot on New Heights. "During that recording, the entire time I'm planning, like, 'I'm gonna ask this woman to marry me after this,'" he previously recalled of his nerves leading up to popping the question.

Swift is also in a busy stretch of her own. She last released music in September, when The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore returned her to No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

No plans have been announced for the next tailgate. But if a stage appears, fans will know who to thank.
