Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift may be two of the most famous people in the world right now, but that didn't stop them from diving right into the throes of Coachella.

As the tight end and his brother, Jason Kelce, discussed their respective adventures over the last couple of weeks on the newest episode of New Heights, the recently retired Eagles legend pointed to the pair's slew of viral moments over the weekend, most of which involved them dancing or canoodling in the midst of the crowd of other concert-goers.

Jason expected the famous couple to be backstage for their chosen performances, which included Ice Spice and Dom Dolla, rather than centered in the pit as they were, and Travis was quick to explain why they chose to place themselves in the thick of it night after night.

"I like to see it from a fan's perspective, because I am — I'm a fan of the music, I'm a fan of live shows — I want to see it from the front of the stage." While he seemed confident that the two "probably could've finessed" backstage passes for themselves, it would have changed the entire experience for him.

"I think it's just that much more of an experience if you're in the pit — if you're in the madness with all the fans," he continued, declaring it an "awesome" time, which was made more than obvious by the influx of videos captured by their fellow music lovers.

There's still one more weekend to go of the desert music festival, but it remains to be seen if we'll get a repeat from these two.
