In the latest episode of the New Heights podcast hosted by NFL star Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce, the duo once again found themselves discussing their experiences with global pop sensation Taylor Swift . Travis, who recently made back-to-back appearances with Swift, delved into the topic of dealing with the singer’s security team and expressed his protective instincts during the conversation.
Addressing recent rumors about an alleged altercation with one of Swift’s security guards, Travis vehemently denied any physical fight. He clarified, “Pushing them out of the way? I didn’t push him. I placed my hand on the gentleman’s back to let him know I was behind him. If I had pushed him, he would have probably turned around and tased me.” Travis emphasized that Swift’s security team is made up of “great” and “good people.”

The conversation took an intriguing turn when Jason questioned Travis about his role as an unofficial member of Taylor Swift’s security team. Jason asked, “Have you had to enact any security of your own? Do you feel like you’re a security guard when you are with Taylor?” Travis responded, shedding light on his protective nature, “Like I’m part of the team? I feel like whenever I’m on a date, I always have the sense that I’m a man in the situation. I’m protective, yeah, for sure. You always have to have that feeling or self-awareness, I guess.”

These revelations follow Travis’s recent appearance with Swift on Saturday Night Live , where fans observed him taking a leading role. A source close to the situation shared insights with Entertainment Tonight , revealing, “At one point, he actually told her security guard that he could step aside, like he’d take it from here.”
Travis’s willingness to navigate the intricacies of Taylor Swift’s security arrangements showcases the unique dynamics that arise when a public figure steps into the spotlight with a global sensation like Swift. It appears that Kelce is not just a spectator in these scenarios but an active participant, contributing to the narrative of the moment.
