“Tay’s servant”: Travis Kelce left speechless by Taylor Swift-inspired fan name on podcast — has Swift mania gone too far?

NFL star Travis Kelce had a lighthearted moment on the latest episode of the New Heights podcast when he encountered a fan with a particularly bold username—a clear nod to his relationship with global pop sensation Taylor Swift. Kelce, who co-hosts the show with his brother Jason Kelce, couldn’t help but pause when reading a question submitted by a listener with the username “Tay’s servant.”

During the April 15 episode, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end was reading fan-submitted questions when he stumbled upon the unexpected username. “OK,” Kelce said, clearly surprised but amused. The brief reaction, paired with his expression, drew laughs from both the hosts and listeners, adding another light moment to the brothers’ fan-favorite show.
Despite the surprise, Travis Kelce kept it professional and continued reading the question, which asked, “If you had to swap lives with one of your podcast guests for 48 hours, who would you pick and what would you do?”


Travis Kelce took the opportunity to share a personal fantasy that dates back to his childhood: becoming a professional basketball player. “I’ve always wanted to play in the NBA. To be able to jump as high as [LeBron James] can and slam the ball — that would be incredible,” he said. His admiration for James is well-known, and it seems like even in another life, Kelce would chase athletic greatness.
Jason Kelce, meanwhile, opted for a comedic twist to the question. He named comedy legends like Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, and Ben Stiller as his top picks. “If I had to be anybody in the prime, though, I’m going Arnold [Schwarzenegger],” Jason added, showing his love for iconic entertainers and action stars.

From Swift attending Chiefs games to Kelce showing up at her Eras Tour performances, the duo’s relationship has captivated pop culture.
Kelce’s reaction to “Tay’s servant” was yet another reminder of how their romance continues to resonate with fans—and keeps everyone entertained along the way.
