00:00 "Do you feel like you're a security guard when you're with Taylor?"
00:03 "I'm like protective. Yeah, for sure."
00:05 Travis Kelce says he's protective when he's with Taylor Swift.
00:10 "I love it."
00:11 And opens up about the terrifying moment Taylor spoke with his dad.
00:15 "Yeah, Taylor talking to dad. I felt terrible. I felt terrible for Taylor."
00:20 It all goes down on the latest episode of Travis and his brother Jason's podcast,
00:24 New Heights, as the two recap Travis and Taylor's whirlwind trip to New York City
00:28 over the weekend, where the Chiefs' tight end made a cameo on Saturday Night Live.
00:34 "When we get back, we are going to speak with someone who actually wants to talk football."
00:39 "Yes!"
00:41 "I don't even remember what I said. I blacked out."
00:46 And Taylor introduced the musical guest to her pal and collaborator Ice Spice.
00:51 "Once again, Ice Spice."
00:55 "I was like, man, I'd be honored. And yeah, it was pretty cool. And then
01:00 Taylor also made the surprise cameo, introducing her good friend."
01:05 But it was the viral moment where Travis was seen placing his hand on a security guard's back
01:10 while out on the town with Taylor that had everyone talking.
01:13 "I think he's protecting her. He's taking the lead. He's watching out for her. He knows where
01:20 he's gonna go. He's not wishy-washy. He's very direct. But there's also that real kindness about
01:28 him."
01:29 "Get any pushback from the actual security guards about pushing him out of the way the one night?"
01:33 "I didn't push him. I placed my hand on the gentleman's back to let him know I was behind him."
01:38 All that echoes what a source told ET about the moment. Quote, "At one point,
01:43 he actually told her security guard that he could step aside. Like, he'd take it from here."
01:48 "I set myself up on the tee for that one."
01:50 "Do you feel like you're a security guard when you're with Taylor?"
01:53 "I feel like whenever I'm on a date, I'm always having the sense of, like,
01:57 I'm a man in this situation. I'm, like, protective. Yeah, for sure."
02:03 The moment marked the singer and the NFL Pro's first public appearance together,
02:07 holding hands as they made their way into the Saturday Night Live afterparty,
02:12 where an eyewitness tells ET they looked happy to be with each other,
02:15 and kissed throughout the evening.
02:18 "I'm just here to have fun."
02:19 Prior to their NYC getaway, Taylor attended Travis' game against the Denver Broncos,
02:24 where cameras cut to Taylor chatting with the Kansas City Chiefs star's dad, Ed Kelsey.
02:29 "I love the fact that she's more casual. This tells you a lot about the relationship,
02:34 that the two of them feel very comfortable around one another."
02:37 "Yeah, Taylor talking to dad, you already know, you know dad like I know dad."
02:43 "Which is, he shouldn't be talking to Taylor Swift."
02:45 "This is a terrifying conversation. I felt terrible. I felt terrible for Taylor."
02:50 "If you see dad talking to anybody and you can't hear what's happening,
02:53 who knows where that conversation's going."
02:55 "You never know what it's gonna be."
02:57 All jokes aside, the brothers were quick to shower Papa Kelsey with praise.
03:02 "Our dad is the best f---ing dad in the world."
03:04 "He is."
03:04 Taylor has also been spotted chatting it up at the games with Travis' mom, Donna.
03:10 "It was nice because, you know, mom has been getting quite a bit of the spotlight,
03:14 so it was cool to see dad up there on the jumbotron for a little bit, or on the TV for a little bit."
03:18 "You know, I would assume there is a bet going on in Las Vegas on how many times
03:22 they're gonna show me on television."
03:24 And it's safe to say Ed is officially a Swiftie,
03:27 because Travis said his dad's been blasting Taylor's music.
03:31 "I wanna be your endgame. I wanna be your first to win. I wanna be your O.T. and your X in F."
03:40 "Now you cannot fangirl about that."
03:43 But Travis' dad isn't the only Taylor fan in Travis' inner circle.
03:47 His coach, Andy Reid, is, too.
03:50 "She's a good girl, man. She's into it. And that's, uh, we're glad she's here."
03:54 And get this, Andy says he deserves at least some of the credit for setting Trav and Tay up.
04:00 "You know what, I've met her before. Adam, I set 'em up."
04:05 And on a new episode of OutKicks The Five Spot,
04:08 Andy revealed he has a long history with a Grammy winner.
04:12 "I knew her from Philadelphia, you know, I think. Her dad was a big NFL fan. So,
04:18 I had met her when she was real young and, uh, and her dad. And so,
04:22 you know, I joked about setting Kelsey up, but I'm, you know, I'm just saying, you know."
