Travis Kelce gave his girlfriend Taylor Swift a sweet shoutout after giving quite the karaoke performance.
On Thursday, July 11, the Kelce brothers attended the American Century Championship charity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Nevada where Travis, 34, showcased his vocal skills at a karaoke contest, delivering a memorable performance. So memorable, in fact, that he ended up winning the contest.
After the Kansas City Chiefs tight end belted out Whitesnake’s classic hit “Here I Go Again,” he seized his winning moment to dedicate it to Swift, also 34. When his name was announced, Travis jumped with excitement and playfully pretended to cry as he took the microphone. “Taylor, this is for you,” he declared in a video shared on X (formerly known as Twitter).

Holding his award high, Travis expressed his gratitude to the audience, saying, “I love you guys!” A video posted on the New Heights podcast Instagram page captured the NFL star pouring his heart into the Whitesnake song, with the caption, “Nothing beats @killatrav’s stage presence,” and the text, “Travis on stage in Tahoe” overlaid on the video.
Other fans wished to see Swift’s reaction, saying, “i’d pay big money for a taylor reaction video to this clip,” and “Imagine opening this video of your boyfriend 😂.”
This performance comes after the athlete surprised fans by taking the stage at the 14-time Grammy winner’s Eras Tour performance at London’s Wembley Stadium on June 23. During Swift’s performance of “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,” Kelce played a crucial part, lifting Swift from the floor after she “collapsed” and carried her to a couch decorated with bold red lipstick.
