Key Takeaways
- Travis Kelce joked about tapping Taylor Swift for staging help at future New Heights tailgates, saying, “I’ll see what my wife can cook up.”

Travis Kelce isn’t looking too far for help with the next big New Heights event. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end has someone familiar in mind for the event, and she happens to be pretty popular.
During the Wednesday, Nov. 11, episode of the podcast that Travis and his brother Jason Kelce co-host, New Heights, the two talked about their recent Philadelphia tailgate, which took place ahead of Sunday’s Eagles-Giants game. Jason was happy with how things turned out and called it the “best” event the brothers have hosted so far.
The two talked about how having a stage made the event better. The brothers had run into problems at previous events in Philadelphia and Kansas City because fans couldn’t always see what was happening. This time, the stage gave everyone a better view of the action, which included men’s and women’s sumo wrestling competitions and hobby horsing.
Jason would like to bring that setup to other cities, but finding a stage isn’t always easy. Jason said it could be problematic to try to make that magic happen again.
“If we can re-create this in other areas, I do think the stage is really important. The problem is most tailgates don’t have a stage. I don’t know how we’re going to do it… maybe build our own,” Jason said.
Then he turned to Travis with a question that was all about Swift.
“Do you know anybody who knows anything about stages?” he said.
“Yeah, I actually do,” Travis said. “I’ll see what my wife can cook up.”
Jason went on to jokingly impersonate Swift, suggesting that the companies she works with wouldn’t want to deal with the brothers.
There’s no word on whether Swift will actually get involved with the brothers’ next event, but Travis seems happy to put the idea out there.
