AceShowbiz - Travis Kelce may be dating one of the world's biggest pop stars, but his recent brush with British royalty at Taylor Swift's London Eras Tour show left him and his brother Jason Kelce truly starstruck.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end and his retired Eagles center sibling had an unforgettable experience with Prince William and his children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, during a concert that doubled as the Duke of Cambridge's 42nd birthday celebration.
During the June 26 episode of their "New Heights" podcast, Travis gushed about the meeting with the royals, describing Prince William as "the coolest mother*****r." Reflecting on the authenticity of their interaction, he shared, "He was so cool. They were an absolute delight to meet. Wasn't sure if I was supposed to bow to them, curtsy, just be an American idiot and shake their hand ... We wanted to be polite, especially on this side of the park."
His brother Jason echoed his sentiments, calling Prince William "fantastic" and emphasizing how approachable he was.
However, it was Princess Charlotte who truly stole the show for the Kelce brothers. "I gotta say, Prince William was fantastic, but the highlight was Princess Charlotte. She was so f***ing adorable. Like, I cannot," Jason shared. Travis added, "She was a superstar. She had fire to her. She was asking questions."
The Kelce brothers admired the way Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton encourage their children to be vocal and take a lead in conversations.
The episode also revealed a delightful anecdote about a past royal performance. Travis recounted how Prince William, guided by Taylor Swift, joined Bon Jovi on stage for a karaoke performance of "Livin' On a Prayer." "Tay got him out of his shell," Travis said, praising the prince's willingness to participate and have fun.
The event stirred emotions for the brothers, with Jason admitting he teared up during Swift's heartfelt gestures to fans. Swift's "surprise song" section, featuring intimate mashups, was another highlight for the Kelce brothers. "It feels like you're in a bar just listening to somebody play on a piano," Jason reflected.
Travis' involvement in the concert wasn't limited to the audience. On June 23, he joined Swift on stage, participating in a pantomime skit that showcased his playful side. Swift later acknowledged his contribution on social media, making their budding relationship Instagram official.
The concert, which took place at Wembley Stadium from June 21 to 23, was punctuated by a backstage selfie with Prince William and his children, shared by both Swift and the Prince and Princess of Wales's Instagram accounts. "Happy Bday M8!" Swift captioned the photo, celebrating William's birthday and marking the night's success.
The Kelce brothers' enchanting encounter with British royalty and their heartfelt reactions to Swift's performances have left fans eagerly anticipating more stories from their "New Heights" podcast, during which Jason said "f**k kings" days before their meeting with the royals.
