AceShowbiz - During the "Big Slick Celebrity Weekend' in Kansas City, Missouri, on June 1, Jason Sudeikis set the stage for a memorable evening by putting Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce on the spot about his relationship with pop sensation Taylor Swift. The skit, which featured Sudeikis, 48, in character, left the audience buzzing with excitement.
Sudeikis, donning a fake mustache, sunglasses, and a cap, was joined by actors Robert Smigel and George Wendt, as well as Kelce at a table.
As the "Ted Lasso" star engaged Kelce in banter, he cheekily asked, "Hey Travis, real talk OK, just the guys here …" before dropping the bombshell question, "Hey … when are you going to make an honest woman out of her?," referring to Swift. Kelce, 34, rubbed his beard and smiled but refrained from giving a direct answer.
The audience at the T-Mobile Center erupted in cheers, reveling in the playful atmosphere. Sudeikis continued his character's antics, humorously adding, "Taylor doesn't need to be working anymore," which drew even more applause from the crowd.
The skit wasn't short on NFL star power either. Kelce was joined onstage by his teammate Patrick Mahomes, and the event saw appearances from celebrities like Paul Rudd, Fortune Feimster, and Heidi Gardner.
Before heading onstage, Kelce seemed amped for the performance, saying in a backstage video, "It's about to get crazy, This is going to get f***ing crazy. I don't know what I'm ready for right now, but I'm ready to have some fun."
The romance between Kelce and Swift became public in September 2023 when Swift first attended a Kansas City Chiefs game against the Chicago Bears. The couple was later spotted holding hands leaving a "Saturday Night Live" afterparty in October. While they have kept their relationship relatively private, Kelce has occasionally spoken about Swift in interviews, and fans believe Swift has referenced Kelce in her latest album "The Tortured Poets Department".
Despite the lighthearted nature of Sudeikis's inquiry, insiders have conflicting views on the couple's future. While some sources suggest Kelce is planning to propose to Swift on their one-year anniversary in July, others assert that marriage isn't on his radar yet.
According to one insider, "Travis has no plans on proposing to Taylor. It's not even on his radar. Marriage is something he takes very seriously and not something he would ever just jump into without giving it some careful consideration."
Whether wedding bells are in the near future or not, the playful exchange between Sudeikis and Kelce at the "Big Slick Celebrity Weekend" provided an entertaining glimpse into the couple's world, leaving fans eagerly speculating about what comes next.
