It doesn’t look like spending Thanksgiving dinner together is in the cards for couple Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift this year.
Instead, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end shared on his Wednesday episode “New Heights” Podcasting with her brother Jason Kelce, she says she’s been watching soccer and eating fast food in solitude while her partner Swift is on tour in South America.
“I’ll have a party at KFC because there won’t be anyone here,” he laughed.
When Jason, who plays football for the Philadelphia Eagles, invites his brother to his own family’s Thanksgiving dinner, Travis ironically says, “That’s what I wanted to do this week.”
It’s safe to assume that what Kelce really wanted to do this week was spend time with Swift. is reported He plans to attend Monday’s Chiefs/Eagles game in Kansas City with his parents during a break in the South American “Eras Tour.”
With both Swift and Kelce having the holiday in between their jam-packed work schedules, it seemed like the couple might sit down at the same Thanksgiving table.
Alas, Swift was unable to support Kells in Monday’s game without being sidelined after “excessive temperatures” in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He is already due to take the stage for the first of three concerts scheduled in São Paulo on Friday.
However, Kells shared his gratitude for Swift during Wednesday’s podcast episode while discussing his new Christmas song, “Fairytale of New York,” a cover of The Bogus’ 1987 duet with his brother Jason, which was released last week.
The song is a hit #1 on iTunesAnd the brothers credited Swift’s fans, known as Swifties, for helping bring the single to the music streamer’s charts.
“Thank you Taylor, I appreciate you,” Kelce said on the podcast. “And thanks to the Swifties.”
