Travis Kelce Delights by Singing Taylor Swift's 'Bad Blood'

Travis Kelce successfully slipped a little Taylor Swift into an otherwise unrelated conversation with a quick performance of "Bad Blood."
On the newest episode of New Heights, Travis' podcast with his brother Jason, released on Wednesday, March 20, the two were discussing football players who've been traded or signed to new teams in the offseason.
In reference to Kenny Pickett's move from the Pittsburgh Steelers to Jason's former team, the Philadelphia Eagles, Travis said that Pickett and the Steelers' "relationship ended in a little bad blood," with the last two words sung like Swift does in her hit song of the same name.
The short performance perfectly fit in, and neither brother addressed the smooth reference as they went on. As for why Pickett is experiencing some "bad blood," Travis said, "Kenny is saying he preferred to move on" to a new team.
Fellow Swifties and New Heights listeners enjoyed the reference, with one even singing along in the comments, writing, "Bad blood, HEY!"
"Trav threw a little Bad Blood in. ??," said another.
Fans on social media also loved the cute moment, as a Swiftie enthusiastically wrote on X, "travis kelce belting out bad blood unprovoked on @newheightshow HE’S ONE OF US FR."
"He’s so me when someone mentions a word that’s in one of her lyrics/titles," said someone who really related to Travis, as a third noted, "i love how jason is so unfazed."
Travis and Jason sometimes talk about Swift on the podcast, especially when recapping recent activities like Travis' trips across the world to see her Eras Tour.
While breaking down Travis' Singapore trip, the Kansas City Chiefs player raved about the architecture, food and more, detailing his visit to the world's largest glass greenhouse called the Flower Dome.
Right now, both Travis and Swift seem to be staying on the down low, enjoying their break from touring and football before Swift goes back to work in May.
