Travis Kelce, an NFL player with the Kansas City Chiefs, discussed Taylor Swift’s experience on MTV’s “Punk’d” on the “New Heights” podcast with Andrew Santino. Kelce mentioned that he watched the prank show and found Swift’s epic prank experience amusing. Santino described the 2012 episode where Swift mistakenly set off a firework on Justin Bieber’s boat during a prank that led to a boat catching on fire with a wedding party on board.
Santino recounted that he was part of the prank and blamed Swift for ruining their wedding. Kelce found the prank hilarious and mentioned that he planned to ask Swift about it to see if she was trying to sell the prank or if she genuinely believed it. Despite the elaborate nature of the prank, Kelce bought into the story and found it entertaining.
Santino believed that Swift fell for the prank and that it was a perfect bit that came together seamlessly. He mentioned that some pranks on the show were too wild and didn’t work, but Swift’s prank was well-executed. Despite Swift admitting to being traumatized and terrified by the experience at the time, she mentioned that she does not plan to seek revenge on Bieber for his participation in the prank.
In a separate podcast episode of “Whiskey Ginger,” Santino reflected on the successful prank on Swift and expressed his pride in pulling it off. While Swift’s relationship with Kelce was not discussed on the podcast, fans had been anticipating his reaction to her recent album release. Speculation arose that Kelce was the inspiration behind two of Swift’s songs on her album, “The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology,” leading fans to believe that she might have referenced various people from her past in her songs.
Fans of Swift also suggested that she subtly referenced her exes Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy, as well as her longtime rival, Kim Kardashian, in her song “thanK you aIMee.” Despite the ongoing speculation about Swift’s new album and the inspiration behind her songs, Kelce and Swift’s relationship was not explicitly discussed during the podcast episode, leaving fans to wonder about the connection between the two celebrities.
