On Wednesday, January 15th, the Kelsey brothers released a new episode of their popular podcast, The Kelsey Brothers Chat. As expected, the latest episode brought some surprising moments for fans, especially with the Chiefs’ divisional round game against the Houston Texans looming.
The podcast opened with the usual banter between Travis and his older brother Jason, but it quickly took an unexpected turn when Travis shared some exciting personal news.
A week without games, Travis confessed, felt like time flew by. Jason, ever the curious brother, asked what Travis had been doing in the absence of games. “Oh, it can’t be boring, Taylor,” Travis responded, laughing, referring to his girlfriend, pop sensation Taylor Swift.
Jason, with a blank expression, froze for a moment before asking, “Wait, Taylor? She’s there too?” Travis laughed and casually confirmed, “Yeah, she’ll be attending the first game of the new year for the Chiefs.”
This news sent Jason into a frenzy. His voice echoed from the living room as he screamed, “Kyle, come up here and see if you’re dreaming!” He returned to the room, still in shock, and urged Travis to say it again. “Are you sure?” Jason asked.
Travis then took a moment to share more about his recent trip to Rhode Island to visit Taylor’s mansion. “It was a short trip,” Travis explained, “but it’s been a while since we’ve been there.” Jason quickly recalled their earlier trip a few months ago, during which the Mahomes family also joined them.
Jason couldn’t help but jokingly call it a “honeymoon” but Travis laughed it off, saying it was more of a figurative term. “Maybe just a little honeymoon, Jason,” he said, his tone playful.
As the brothers continued their conversation, the mood shifted to the upcoming AFC qualifiers, where the Chiefs are preparing for their big playoff clash. Jason asked, “You’ve had two weeks to prepare, are you confident for the game?”
With his usual confidence, Travis smiled and replied, “Of course, I’m always ready, but our opponent this time has a very annoying style of play.” He went on to emphasize how the Chiefs had made some tactical adjustments and were in great form going into the playoffs.
Jason then jokingly asked, “Could it be that Taylor has brought you such a good competitive spirit?” Travis laughed and recalled an amusing moment with Taylor. “Well, we did have a little incident with her food at dinner,” Travis admitted, explaining that Taylor is an excellent cook, but her rib sauce gave him some stomach trouble. “I couldn’t sleep all night because of it!” Travis laughed, recalling the “memorable” experience.
Jason was quick to shout, “Did you know Taylor will be watching our game?” Travis chuckled and confirmed that Taylor would indeed be present at the game, giving a boost of excitement for the upcoming playoff showdown.
Travis then added that after taking some medicine from Taylor, he was feeling better, though he couldn’t help but joke about his stomach issues. “It’s spicy and sour, just my taste,” he said, though he wasn’t sure what exactly went wrong.
The two brothers laughed together, their natural chemistry and humor a highlight of the podcast. As the Chiefs prepare for their high-stakes matchup against the Houston Texans, it’s clear that Travis’s personal life and his on-field performance continue to intertwine in exciting ways.
In the midst of it all, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been praising Travis’s leadership and competitive spirit. “He has the heart of a champion,” Mahomes said recently, underscoring the vital role Travis plays in inspiring the team. With the Chiefs at the top of their game and Travis ready to lead, the playoffs are sure to be an exciting ride for both the team and their fans.
