Travis Kelce says he did ‘Dumb & Dumber’ routine on stage with Taylor Swift

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce shed light on his viral appearance last week in girlfriend Taylor Swift’s Era Tour concert in London.

For starters, Kelce said Wednesday on his New Heights podcast it was his idea to join his girlfriend on stage.

“I initially mentioned it to Tay,” Kelce said. “I was like, ‘How fun would it be if I just rolled out on one of the bikes during the ‘1989,’ that era? She started laughing and was like ‘Would you seriously be up for doing something like that?’

“I was like, ‘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.’ And sure enough she found the perfect part of the show for me to come in. There was no bike in case I ran into somebody else or one of the dancers. It was, like, the safest option.”

“It’s such a fun, playful part of the show,” Kelce said. “And it was, like, the perfect area or perfect time for me to go up there just be a ham and have some fun not only with her, but (dancers) Kam (Saunders) and Jan (Ravnik) and really try and get everybody excited for the rest of the show.

“I always wanted to pull out this move but I never knew like when I should pull it out, like an area where it made sense. And it was the ‘Dumb and Dumber,’ Jim Carrey, him like doing tap dances.

“Then just made sure I played with Tay and got her makeup right. It was just a blast, man. I had so much fun. It was an honor being onstage with Taylor but even Kam and Jan, knowing that me and Kam’s brother, Khalen Saunders, we played together in KC won two Super Bowls together. ... Just one of my all-time favorite teammates.”

Here is that scene from “Dumb and Dumber.”

Kelce’s one goal

Kelce said the size of the stage at Wembley Stadium was huge, which surprised him. But it gave him plenty of room to carry Swift in the skit.

“It was awesome. And I didn’t disappoint Taylor so that’s all that really matters,” Kelce said. “That was my No. 1 goal: Do not (mess this up). Do not drop Taylor.”

Kelce gave credit to former Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, who is now coaching at UCLA, for drilling it into Kelce’s head not to fumble the football.

“The one thing I told myself is do not drop the baby. Do not drop Taylor on your way over this damn couch,” Kelce said. “The golden rule was do not drop Taylor. Get her to the couch safely. Coach Bieniemy always used to say that ball has our dreams, goals and aspirations. You do not drop that ball. Shout out to EB over there UCLA.”
