The Kansas City Chiefs, the reigning back-to-back Super Bowl champions, recently visited the White House to commemorate their most recent title. President Biden hosted the team on the South Lawn, with star tight end Travis Kelce being invited to speak at the podium. Kelce jokingly mentioned being threatened with being tased if he spoke, to which he decided to return to his spot. His brother, Jason Kelce, praised the moment on social media, calling it tight and well done.
During a podcast appearance in June 2023, Travis Kelce shared details about what he had planned to say at the podium during the previous year’s White House visit. He expressed admiration for the president’s iconic address to the public, where he addresses them as fellow Americans. Pop star Taylor Swift, who had attended the 2024 Super Bowl to celebrate with Kelce after the Chiefs’ victory, did not make it to the celebration at the White House as she was on the European leg of her Eras Tour.
Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, who had criticized President Biden’s stance on abortion during a commencement speech, also attended the White House event. However, Biden did not acknowledge Butker or any criticism mentioned in the speech. The Chiefs have openly stated their hopes of winning a third consecutive Super Bowl, with quarterback Patrick Mahomes reaffirming his belief that the team will contend for another title in 2024. Mahomes confidently declared during a podcast appearance with Logan Paul that the team will achieve success again in the upcoming season.
