Travis Kelce hilariously reacted to a Taylor Swift-themed question while hosting “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?”
In a teaser for Wednesday’s episode of the Amazon Prime show, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end sends audience members into a frenzy as he reads a math question with a fun nod to his girlfriend.
“Nicole has 98 beads to make six friendship bracelets,” Kelce, 35, starts to read, referencing the jewelry Swifties famously traded while attending the pop star’s historic Eras Tour.
As the crowd erupts into laughter, he pretends not to understand the reason for the outburst, asking the crowd with a straight face, “What’s so funny, guys?”
Celebrity contestant Nicole Byer then jumps in to joke, “They’re laughing that I have six friends.”
The NFL star chuckles at the comedian’s quip before reading the rest of the prompt unphased.
“If each bracelet has an equal number of beads, what is the fewest number of leftover beads she can have?” he asks.
As the contestants scribble down their answers, competitor Lala Kent asks, “Travis, do you know anyone that likes friendship bracelets and things like that?”
The athlete then tells her, “I know a few. Might have converted them into a Chiefs fan. I don’t know. We’ll see.”
Swift had always been a Philadelphia Eagles fan before she and Kelce started dating in the summer of 2023.
In the clip, the audience laughs at the remark and appears delighted at Kelce’s obvious shout-out to the “Cruel Summer” singer.
This isn’t the first time Kelce has honored his relationship with Swift, 35, on the game show.
In a December 2024 episode, Kelce asked a trivia question about Lady Gaga’s birth name, prompting contestants to bring up Swift.
“We don’t love [Lady Gaga] as much as, like, any other blond singers, you know. Like, there’s some other blond singers that we like more than Lady Gaga,” a contestant told the NFL star at the time.
Kelce couldn’t help but smile at the thought of Swift, responding, “I’ll have to agree with you on that. I do concur.”
Swift has also been extremely supportive of Kelce’s hosting gig on the “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader” spin-off series and visited him on set last year.
“She did come on set,” Garcelle Beauvais, a contestant on the show, told “Entertainment Tonight” last August. “I think it’s really sweet.”
While the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star didn’t share any more details of Swift’s drop-by, Kent offered some insights into the exciting moment.
“Taylor Swift was in Travis Kelce’s trailer,” the “Vanderpump Rules” alum shared on her “Give Them Lala” podcast last November.
Kent said Swift arrived in a big black SUV to have lunch with her beau.
News that Kelce would be hosting the Prime series surfaced last March.
Since establishing himself as a force in the NFL world, Kelce has made his way into Hollywood.
He made his acting debut in the horror drama “Grotesquerie” last year.
A new episode of “Are Your Smarter Than A Celebrity?” drops every Wednesday on Amazon Prime.
