During his weekend trip to Buenos Aires, Argentina to see the singer and watch her perform, Kelce, 34, met her dad, Scott Swift, for the first time. He told his brother, Jason Kelce, all about how things went on Wednesday’s episode of the New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce (Presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment) podcast. Jason, 36, pointed out that Scott was wearing a Kansas City Chiefs lanyard as he watched his daughter perform on Saturday night alongside Travis, and the tight end joked that he’s “got ‘em all over here to the good side, baby,” referring to the Swift family’s prior allegiance to the Philadelphia Eagles, Jason’s team. “What are we doing, Scott?” Jason asked Swift's dad, as Travis continued, “Just one by one, getting all the good ones to come on over.” Jason, a center for the Eagles, pushed back, speaking to Scott directly again: “You’re gonna let this man’s devilishly good looks and relationship with your daughter sway you from a lifetime of fandom, Scott? This is ridiculous.” Taylor Swift Runs into Travis Kelce’s Arms, Plants a Kiss After Argentina Show Travis then revealed just how the lanyard moment came about. “Aw man, I might have persuaded him at dinner the night before when I met him,” he shared, to which Jason said, “No!

I missed that. I never miss a high-five, too. Big high-five guy. It’s the most electric thing you can do at an event and so — sorry Mr. Swift.” Of the lyric change, Travis said he “had a little bit of a clue” that there was something coming, but once he “heard it come out of her mouth, [it] still shocked me.” “I was like, ‘Oh, she really just said that.’ ” Travis Kelce supports Taylor Swift in Buenos Aires, Argentina on The Eras Tour.
