Travis Kelce is showing the world that he’s not just a football star but also an “OG Swiftie.” The Kansas City Chiefs player recently dropped a fun tidbit about his girlfriend Taylor Swift’s history with Saturday Night Live during an episode of his New Heights podcast.
As it turns out, Travis knows Taylor’s SNL moments all too well—especially her unforgettable hosting debut back in 2009. He reminisced about a sketch they were both involved in with SNL alum Jason Sudeikis, where they worked on a sketch called “Potato Chip.” It was during this episode that Taylor made her debut as the host of SNL and delivered a hilarious monologue that still stands out in SNL history.
Fans will remember that during her monologue, Taylor took a moment to call out her ex, Joe Jonas, with a bit of humor: “You might think I’d bring up Joe, that guy who broke up with me on the phone, but I’m not going to mention him in my monologue. Hey, Joe, I’m doing real well tonight!” It was a lighthearted moment, which fans couldn’t help but laugh at. But little did we know, Taylor’s future love interest, Travis, had his eyes on her as early as this.
Travis shared that he had a great time working on the sketch with Taylor, recalling how much fun they had. However, despite their best efforts, the Potato Chip sketch never made it to air. Instead, it was performed with Blake Lively when Taylor made her SNL debut. Even though the sketch didn’t make the cut, Travis made it clear that he still holds that moment close to his heart, reminiscing about the time he got to be part of such an iconic show with the woman who would later become his girlfriend.
“Like a few of my personal favorites that I was involved in, like Forte, I had a lot of fun things we did,” Travis said on the podcast. “We did a sketch called Potato Chip, and the very first time we did it was with Taylor when she hosted SNL—but it didn’t make it to air.”
This little piece of SNL history has now taken on even more significance, as it’s a moment that connects Travis and Taylor’s pasts long before they became the power couple we know today. It’s just another sign that Travis is not only deeply in tune with Taylor’s career, but he’s also a true fan, or as we might call him, an “OG Swiftie.”
As for Taylor, she was only beginning to rise to superstardom back in 2009, and now, more than a decade later, she and Travis have a love story of their own that fans can’t stop talking about. Looks like Travis has always had an eye for the right moment—and the right woman!
Fans of both Taylor and Travis are certainly loving the little glimpses into their past, and it’s clear that this is just one of many moments they’ve shared that only adds to the magic of their relationship. Whether it’s reminiscing about SNL sketches or supporting each other’s careers, it’s evident that their connection goes deep—and that Travis has always been a true Swiftie at heart.
