Zack Sharf Digital News Director Travis Kelce is finally opening up about his surprise appearance at Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour concert at Wembley Stadium.

The football star shocked and delighted Swifties by joining his girlfriend on stage during the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” transition of the London show.

On the latest episode of the “New Heights” podcast, Kelce revealed that he was the actual mastermind of the live cameo. “I initially mentioned it to Tay,” Kelce said. “I was like, ‘How funny would it be if I just rolled out on one of the bikes during the 1989 era.'” Swift apparently asked Kelce if he was serious about joining her on stage, to which he responded: “What?

I would love to do that, are you kidding me? I’ve seen the show enough — might as well put me to work here.” Kelce said Swift “found the perfect part of the show for me to come in” and called it an “honor” to stand beside a “true showman” like her. “When everyone [in the crowd] found out that it was me — because it took a second for everyone to figure it out — that moment was pretty jarring,” Kelce remembered about the experience. “I was just like, ‘Oh shit.’ And you don’t realize how big that damn stage is.
