Travis Kelce fumbled an opportunity to shoot his shot with Taylor Swift — and he’s still not over it.Kelce, 33, dished on his Eras Tour experience while advertising for SeatGeek during the Wednesday, July 26, episode of his and brother Jason Kelce‘s “New Heights” podcast.

Travis, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, attended one of Swift’s shows at his team’s Arrowhead Stadium earlier this month.“Well, I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Travis confessed. “So I was a little butthurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”When Jason, 35, asked what the bracelet was made of, Travis explained the tradition of trading jewelry at Swift’s shows. “I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it.”Jason — who plays for the Philadelphia Eagles — was curious whether his brother was referring to the number on his jersey, 87.

Travis laughed off the suggestion, teasing, “You know which [number].”Travis was bummed out by the rejection, adding, “She doesn’t meet anybody — or at least she didn’t want to meet me, so I took it personal.

But it was an unbelievable show. Kansas City showed out. … Everybody was dressed in pink and purple, going crazy for her.”Swift, 33, has previously voiced her support for the Eagles, giving the team from her home state a shout-out in the Evermore song “Gold Rush.” Jason predicted that Swift wasn’t interested in fraternizing with the NFL enemy.“She probably just haven’t gotten over the Super Bowl yet. … Maybe she just made something up,” Jason teased.
