Travis Kelce may have been channeling girlfriend Taylor Swift — or at least attempting to — during a rousing musical performance. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end made an appearance at the 2024 American Century Championship festivities on Thursday evening, singing an ’80s classic.
Travis stole the show in South Lake Tahoe, Nevada, as he delivered a fiery rendition of Whitesnake’s “Here I Go Again.” Wearing a collared USA shirt and khaki shorts, Travis threw nuance out the window while scream-singing the lyrics and moving his body to the music. The epic moment was captured by eventgoers and shared on social media, with Travis’ New Heights podcast posting the video to its official TikTok account.
“Nothing beat’s Travis Kelce’s stage presence,” the caption read.
In another video, Travis can be seen accepting the trophy after winning the karaoke competition. Through fake sobs, Travis lifted the award over his head and said into the microphone, “Taylor, this is for you!”

Travis’ brother, Philadelphia Eagles alum Jason Kelce, is among those competing in the charity golf tournament this weekend at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course.
He’s competing against fellow athletes Trevor Lawrence, Alex Rodriguez, Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen and more, as well as stars including Colin Jost, Carson Daly and Dylan Dryer. This year’s event is to honor former major league pitcher Tim Wakefield and his wife, Stacy, both of whom died of cancer in the last year.
Earlier on Thursday, ET’s Kevin Frazier was with Jason as he hit the links.
During the interview, Jason had high praise for Swift after catching her Eras Tour for the first time in London last month alongside wife Kylie Kelce, brother Travis, and even Prince William, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
“It was tremendous,” he gushed of Swift’s show. “She’s so not only talented as a singer, everybody knows that, the performance, the writing, the production, like, all of that she does is truly remarkable. It’s gotta be pretty rare that an artist can really wear all of those hats and it’s impressive to watch it.”
The brothers’ appearance in Lake Tahoe comes amid his hiatus from New Heights as Travis is busy with the Kansas City Chiefs’ training camp.
“We got a nice couple months off from podcasting because, I guess, in three weeks time Travis will be in the middle of training camp,” Jason kicked off last week’s show. “And let me tell you, not enough time to do a podcast, especially the best podcast in the world. He’s gonna be busy focusing on football, getting in shape for this upcoming season. So we’re gonna be off for about two months.”
As for when the duo will pick things back up, Travis offered a clue.
“I’m down to pick it up once we’re done with training camp,” he said.
Jason added that after consulting with the podcast’s producer, the end of August could be a possibility.
The Chiefs kick off training camp on July 21. Their first preseason game is slated for Aug. 10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, followed by two more preseason games against the Detroit Lions (Aug. 17) and Chicago Bears (Aug. 22) before officially beginning their 2024 regular season against the Baltimore Ravens in a rematch of the AFC Championship Game on Sept. 5 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
Travis and the entire team will be available to provide fans with autographs on the first two days of Chiefs training camp, July 21 and 22. After those dates, position groups are made available to sign autographs on different practice dates. The full team will be made available for fan autographs again on July 27 before Travis’ position group (wide receivers and tight ends) is slated to be made available on July 28.
In the meantime, Swift is scheduled to continue her Eras Tour overseas with dates in Germany on July 23, 24, 27 and 28.
As for Jason, he’s preparing to join ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown after retiring from the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this year.
