Here's what Travis Kelce said on the New Heights podcast:

"Yeah, it was awesome man... I don't even remember what I said, I blacked out, the entire place erupted which was very overwhelming. It was good, I'm not even sure if I said anything.
"We showed up on SNL having the idea of going to support Ice Spice, her and Taylor are good friends. I'll tell you what, man it was electric to be back in that place. I had such a frickin blast man. Lorne Michaels, thank you for having us."

This past week during the Chiefs' game against the Broncos, Swift was seen talking to Travis Kelce's father Ed Kelce. The Chiefs' tight end was however worried about the conversation the two were having.

Here's what Kelce said about his father's conversation with Taylor Swift:

"This is a terrifying conversation. I felt terrible. I felt terrible for Taylor for being in the [spot like that]. "You can just see in this picture, all he's doing is just absolutely pumping her up. He started listening to her music a little more. He's stolen her music from the library."

Jason Kelce added:

"He's probably saying 'I have to,'I've taken all of your CDs out at the local library and I've started to burn into my computer because that is legal as a taxpaying citizen".

The NFL has done a remarkable job of advertising Taylor Swift so far Going forward we might possibly see both Kelce and Swift starring in some commercials since they are the talk of the town.
